I had a really good experience! Lee answered all of my questions and made sure I had a good understanding of the step by steps. Not only proving a good service but also educating his customers. I can’t thank you enough. I was also away, so to see the invoice in so much detail was really good! Saved me calling in when your spouse doesn’t remember the important parts ???? thank you to you and your team, amazing!

With termites active all year round in Burleigh, annual termite inspections are a must for all homeowners.

At Richards Pest Control we use always use thermal imaging cameras in all our termite inspections (we don’t charge extra!), to make sure we investigate all suspicious areas when inspecting your home for termites.

One completion we provide a comprehensive, multi-page report which will detail any termite activity, areas of termite damage and conditions on the property that may make a termite attack more likely. Complete with accompanying photographs we will also provide recommendations on how to minimise the risks of a termite attack in the future.

Termite Treatment Burleigh

With termites capable of causing significant damage in as little as 6 months in Burleigh, a termite treatment to provide long term termite protection is a smart investment. If you’re unfortunate enough to suffer a termite attack, Richards Pest Control guarantee termite elimination and our treatments provide lasting protection from termite attack.

We provide all types of termite treatment and will recommend the best termite treatment for your situation. Often the type of treatment will depend on the building construction and soil type around the property. There are two main types of termite management system – chemical treatment to the soil around and under the building or the installation of a termite baiting system around the property.

Once the system is installed, annual termite inspections remain essential to maintain any warranties and ensure that the integrity of the system is not compromised.
