Once a home, building or structure is infested by termites eradication can be a difficult and drawn-out process.

There are parts of Australia where termites can be active for the full 12 months of the year. However, in many areas most reports of swarms start coming in around November which can continue on right up until the Easter break. I encountered my first swarm this spring in mid-October on the south coast of NSW. Pest managers will be receiving increased calls coincident with termite swarms being seen.
It is a good time to review your company’s approach and recognise that a single approach is often not the “silver bullet” of termite management. Every termite job is different and no two customers or homes are the same. You need to be able to customise your own programs to design the best termite management program for your customers and your company. Experience has shown that advice on the removal of conducive conditions, together with the utilisation of dual termite baiting / chemical barrier treatments in your termite management offering, provides the pest manager with good customer retention and ongoing revenue.
The Nemesis Termite Bait system is a wholly Australian owned and manufactured system, suitable as either a standalone system or for monitoring in conjunction with a Terminade-based chemical barrier treatment. The Nemesis Termite Bait System has been designed as a professional termite colony elimination control product, providing a safe, non-invasive solution to your customer’s concerns. PCT’s Terminade residual termiticide provides excellent value in a 100g/L fipronil proprietary formulation which has been tested in accordance with ISO 9001 requirements. Nemesis can enhance such treatments as Terminade, provide ongoing monitoring, and can provide control where a liquid termiticide is not practical. Nemesis will provide pest managers with an important option for protecting their customer’s property. An effective either stand-alone or in-conjunction utilisation of treatments for termite management is all about meeting the customer’s need for peace of mind.
PCT, an Australian owned company, offers a range of high quality Australian made products for the professional pest manager. The PCT range of products are available from your local Agserv branch.
