Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites are silent destroyers, often causing structural damage before homeowners notice. Common signs include hollow-sounding wood, bubbling or peeling paint, and mud tubes along walls or foundations. Look for discarded wings near windows and doors, as termites shed them when forming a new colony. Sagging floors, warped doors, and unexplained cracks may also indicate termite activity. Small piles of frass (termite droppings) are a key sign of drywood termites. If you notice any of these warning signs, our licensed termite control specialists at Bug Busters provide expert detection and treatment solutions to protect homes from costly infestations.

Our qualified technicians thoroughly inspect affected areas, including skirting boards, foundations, and the soil profile, to determine how termites gain access to your home. We use advanced detection tools to detect Termidor, a highly effective active ingredient in termite treatments, ensuring complete colony elimination. The residents can benefit from our free quote and same-day service for urgent infestations. To prevent future damage, we recommend an annual inspection, allowing early detection and proactive protection against termites. Contact Bug Busters today for trusted, long-term termite control solutions.

Types of Termites

Perth is home to several destructive termite species, with subterranean termites being the most common. These termites build underground nests and invade homes through concealed mud tunnels, feeding on structural timber. Drywood termites, though less frequent, nest directly in wood and can infest furniture and walls. Dampwood termites thrive in moist environments, often targeting decayed wood. Early detection is key to preventing costly damage. Bug Busters’ termite control specialists offer cost-effective termite treatments tailored to each species, ensuring long-term protection for homes. Regular inspections can help identify and eliminate termite threats before major damage occurs.

How to Prevent Termites in Your Home

Preventing termites starts with reducing moisture, as damp conditions attract these pests. Fix leaks, ensure proper drainage, and keep gutters clean. Store firewood away from your home and avoid direct wood-to-soil contact. Regularly inspect for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes and hollow wood. Installing chemical or physical barriers during construction adds long-term protection. Scheduling annual termite inspections with experts is crucial for early detection. Bug Busters, a trusted name in pest control, provides proactive solutions to safeguard homes from infestations, ensuring lasting protection against costly termite damage. Prevention is always more affordable than repairs.

Commercial Termite Treatment Solutions

Businesses face significant risks from termites, as infestations can cause costly structural damage and operational disruptions. Protecting commercial properties requires proactive measures such as regular termite inspections and tailored treatment plans.

To determine the best approach, we offer a free onsite assessment, helping builders and property owners choose the most effective termite prevention strategy.

Termite Treatment Comparison: Chemical vs. Baiting Systems

Choosing the right termite treatment depends on the infestation and property type. Chemical treatments create a protective barrier around your home, preventing termites from entering and causing property damage. These treatments work quickly and are ideal for high-risk areas. Baiting systems, on the other hand, eliminate termite colonies by attracting them to a slow-acting toxic bait, making it a more strategic approach for ongoing infestations. While both methods are effective, a professional assessment ensures the best solution for your needs. Bug Busters provides expert recommendations to ensure long-term protection against termites in homes and businesses.

Termite Damage & Insurance Coverage in Perth

Termite infestations can cause extensive structural damage, often going unnoticed until repairs become costly. Unfortunately, most home insurance policies in Australia do not cover termite damage, as it is considered preventable through proper maintenance. This makes regular inspections and professional treatments essential for protecting your property. Bug Busters, backed by Australia’s number one termite control solutions, helps homeowners prevent and manage infestations before they escalate. Investing in proactive termite protection, such as barriers and baiting systems, ensures long-term safety and avoids expensive out-of-pocket repairs. Contact our experts today to safeguard your home from hidden termite threats.

Termite Baiting

If you already have active termites inside your home and the entry point is unknown, Bug Busters strongly recommends using Exterra for termite pest control and baiting systems.

These high-performance bait stations intercept foraging termites before they get into your property, affecting the termite's ability to shed its exoskeleton (which causes them to die).

Because the bait is less toxic than table salt, termite baiting stations can quickly eliminate whole colonies—without harming your property or causing further damage to the environment.

Unlike traditional treatments that rely on chemical barriers, termite baiting is a proactive approach that targets the colony at its core. By placing strategically positioned bait stations, we disrupt the termite life cycle and prevent re-infestation. Our team combines these advanced baiting methods with ongoing monitoring to deliver effective pest management solutions that protect your property long-term.

At Bug Busters, we take a holistic approach to termite eradication, integrating baiting with our other pest management services to ensure your home or business remains termite-free. This method is ideal for properties where chemical treatments may not be suitable, such as heritage homes or eco-sensitive areas. Our trained technicians conduct routine inspections, replacing bait as needed to guarantee continuous protection. Over time, this system leads to the gradual collapse of the entire termite colony, ensuring complete elimination and peace of mind.

We place the Exterra monitoring stations around your building's external perimeter, often embedded in the soil, and inspect them regularly until termites are intercepted and eliminated.

Termite Barrier Treatments

An effective solution for concrete slab properties, termite barriers can either be physical barriers or chemical.

Most new homes are now built with physical termite barriers, most companies which come in the form of specially treated plastic or metal mesh sheeting around the edges of the concrete slab.

There are four approved pesticides for chemical barrier treatments that can be used, all of which vary in their chemical make-up, toxicity, and lifespan. However, due to the damage caused by the breakdown of these pesticides over time, the perimeter needs constant monitoring before being re-treated periodically to ensure your property remains protected.

At Bug Busters, we ensure all our termite barrier treatments comply with Australian standards, guaranteeing effective and long-lasting results. Our treatments are designed not only to combat termites but also to safeguard against other wood-destroying pests like the European house borer, which can pose a significant threat to timber structures.

We understand that pest problems can be overwhelming for homeowners, which is why our team takes the time to assess your property's specific needs before recommending the most suitable barrier treatment. Whether it’s a physical or chemical barrier, we focus on providing comprehensive solutions that offer long-term protection against termite infestations.

In addition to using industry-leading barrier treatments, we pride ourselves on delivering great customer service by keeping clients informed throughout the process. Our experienced technicians explain the different treatment options, the benefits of each method, and provide expert guidance on maintaining a termite-free property.

Termite inspections should be carried out before termite barriers are installed. If active termites are found inside, they must be treated before the termite barrier is installed.

How can we Help?

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Termites Invade Your Home?

Most subterranean termites operate from a central colony beneath the surface soil. In their hunt for food, termites will often construct galleries from the ground, over ant caps, and along pipes. Incredibly resourceful, these galleries can also be free-standing to reach food sources above ground.

Termites will exploit small cracks and flaws in your home's concrete slab and piers to breach building foundations to reach structural timbers.

Once these foundations have been breached, termites can pass through, often undetected, and attack parts of the building through the inside of wall cavities, under the floor, and in the ceiling.

How do I permanently get rid of termites in my house?

We've already covered the affirmative actions you can take to rid your home any termite activity, for example, termite inspections, followed by using termite control services, barrier treatments, chemical treatments, or bait stations.

You can also help prevent future infestations by:

Reducing the amount of moisture in your home and around your property.
Fixing leaks, mould, and decay—and regularly inspect basements or dingy corners of your home.
Decluttering your home of old papers, cardboard, magazines, and newspapers.
Maintaining distance between soil and wood to discourage a termite attack on your furniture and your home's foundation.
Using borate on wood (before priming or painting) as an effective termite repellent.

Our comprehensive termite control solution offers long-term solutions to keep your home protected year-round.

What is the best treatment for termites?

We recommend installing a termite barrier (physical or chemical barriers) or termite bait stations. Both are effective, long term, effective solutions, for homeowners.

The first course of action is to book a termite inspection, which will help us understand whether termites are present—and if any termite damage has already been caused. From there, we can determine the best treatment plan to get the job done quickly and effectively.

With our reliable termite control service, you can safeguard your property from costly structural damage caused by termites. Contact Bug Busters today for the best termite protection for your home and business!

How much does termite treatment cost in Perth?

The cost of a termite treatment system depends on several factors, including the size of the property and the severity of the termite inspection issue.

For termite barriers, costs are affected by:

the type of barrier, whether chemical treatment or physical, and the materials used for each.
Any associated materials cost.
The extent of the issue/size of the problematic area.
Whether your home is pre-or post-construction.
The extent of past or current termite infestations.

How often should you treat your home for termites?

In Western Australia, it is important to have your property inspected for termites and other timber pests regularly—about once a year or when you think you may have a termite problem.

Termites are hard to detect and can cause devastating structural damage to your property, so it's essential to eradicate them before they become an expensive problem.

How Long Does Termite Treatment Last?

Following the inspection, the treatment is usually completed in a day, and the termites start dying off within a day or two. Some cases require us to revisit a new property a number of times to complete the treatment effectively.

For most of our customers across WA, termite treatments can only be effective for up to five years. That's why we offer five-year warranties on our termite treatment service, with the length dependent on the chemical used (and subject to annual termite inspections).
