WELCOME... to our solution to your pest control problem

Bruce Ogilvie has the answer: Whether you are seeking to protect your home, factory or office from the destructive activity of termites or to safeguard the health and safety of the occupants from disease carrying cockroaches, rats, pigeon droppings, venomous spiders, flea, ant or other pest infestations .... Bruce Ogilvie has the answer.

Be careful in selecting a pest controller: it's far too easy to get a pest control licence in South Australia and start up a pest control business employing mainly trainees with inadequate knowledge or experience in professional pest control matters - more details.

Termites attack 1 in 3 homes in the Murray Bridge SA region

Termites are a major worry: Recent industry surveys suggest that about one in three homes in the Murray Bridge region will suffer a termite infestation. To make matters worse your home insurance policy will NOT cover the damage which may involve costly replacement of structural timbers in the floor, wall and roof.

Most homes in the Murray Bridge region are at significant risk of termite attack, especially where eucalypt gum trees are close by - within a 100 meter radius of the building.

termites can build a sub-nest in a wall cavity of a home

Picture of a termite nest in wall cavity Termite inspector examines a large above-ground termite nest built inside a wall cavity of a home.

Termites build such nests, where moisture collects inside the wall cavity, from leaking pipes, shower recess, faulty guttering and down-pipes.

Your best protection is to arrange for a Termite Inspection and Report to Australian Standard 3660, including written specifications for a complete Termidor soil barrier treatment, where practicable, to protect your home. Prevention is better than cure.

Where live Termite activity is found Ogay will install especially designed termite bait stations containing the Nemesis brand termite bait. We closely monitor at 2 to 3 weekly intervals the stations to assess bait consumption and replenish bait therein.

Nemesis termite bait contains an IGR insect growth regulator that prevents the worker termite from regrowing it's external skeleton after moulting. Worker termites ingesting the bait will feed partly digested timber and the bait to other termites in the central nest. Termites cannablise other dead termites thereby hastening elimination of the entire colony ... more details.

We use the safest, most effective products

Safety first: Recently a new range of pest control products have entered the marketplace, including hi-tech baits for the control of termites, cockroaches and ants. Although much safer to use in and around the home these products require a far higher level of skill to ensure an effective result.

For termite control we use the safer, but most effective products commercially available in Australia, such as, the Termidor and Premise termite soil treat chemical and the Nemesis termite baiting system.

Beware: The older style more toxic pesticides (solvent based) are commonly used by the dodgy "cut-price" operators. Refer to the Consumer Advice section of this website for consumer protection advice on selecting a professional pest control service.

Why it's important to know about termites

WARNING: Termite damage to a building or other timber structures can be severe and your home insurance does NOT cover the repair costs. Termites are known to destroy roofing and wall framing timbers within a few months in the Murray Bridge region.

We recommend you read the SA Termites section of this web-site to help you assess your property's level of risk, and to select which termite control methods will best protect your property.

Alternative termite control methods aim at exploiting certain behavioural characteristics of subterranean termites in varying types of building situations. Click here re termites in the Murray Bridge SA region
