About Fumapest Melbourne ... our credentials

Fumapest Melbourne is owned and operated by Peter Cooper since 1985. All active termite eradication treatments are carried out by Peter using Termidor soil barrier treatment product - the best available termite control technology available in Australia.

Unmatched expertise: After more than 20 years full-time practical experience in carrying out termite control services to thousands of Victorian homes, Fumapest has acquired a wealth of experience and technologies unmatched by our competitors.

Termite control is our specialty as termites are a serious economic pest in the Melbourne and Mornington region. Most homes are at high risk of termite attack, especially where gum trees are close by - within a 100 metre radius of the building.

Accredited APCA Member: Fumapest has been an Accredited Member and strong supporter of Australian Pest Controllers Association Inc since it's incorporation in 1987.

Fully insured: Fumapest is a fully insured pest control service company with $1 million cover for professional indemnity for faulty workmanship, public liability and workers compensation insurances.

Excellent track record: Fumapest has experienced a very high success rate in the provision of pest and termite control services to tens of thousands of premises serviced since 1985. In fact, Fumapest has never made a claim against it's insurance cover for negligent or faulty workmanship or for termite related problems.

Safety first, and most effective technologies: Fumapest uses the safest, most effective pest control products, such as Termidor termite barrier soil treatment chemical and Nemesis termite bait. Both products have a delayed lethal effect and can be readily transferred back to the colony nest. This feature is designed to eliminate the entire colony.

Consumer advice: Be careful in selecting a pest controller - it's far too easy to start up a pest control business in VIC and employ people using pesticides with little or no training - many still use the older style more toxic (solvent based) pesticides as they are cheaper but less reliable.

Termites attack 1 in 3 homes - will yours be next?

Recent industry surveys suggest that about one in three homes will suffer a termite infestation in the Healesville and surrounding areas. To make matters worse, home and building insurance does NOT cover damage caused by termites which may involve costly replacement of floor, wall and roofing timbers.

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

Guess who's coming to dinner ? The Fumapest inspector examines an above ground termite nest built inside a wall cavity in the dining room of a home.

Termites often build such nests, where moisture collects in the wall cavity, usually from faulty plumbing, leaking pipes, guttering or shower recess.

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.

We recommend Termidor for all "active" termite problems

Termidor is the best available termite control chemical commercially available in Australia, offering long-term protection of more than 5 years. Termidor liquid termiticide is applied to the soil at the base and around the perimeter of a building to be protected.

Unlike other products, Termidor is non-repellant the termites cannot avoid what they cannot detect and it readily sticks to the termites skin or they ingest it. Most importantly Termidor has a delayed effect of several days.. enough time for the termites to transport it back to the colony nest to infect other unsuspecting termites.

Why it's important to know ... about termites in Victoria

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.

We recommend you read the Termites section of this web-site to help you assess your property's level of risk, and if need be, to choose which termite control method will best protect your property.

The alternative termite control methods aim at exploiting certain behavioural characteristics of termites in varying types of building situations. Click here re about destructive termites in Victoria
