Yes, termites are a common problem for home & business owners throughout Ipswich and SE QLD.
Ipswich is known for its emerging café culture, beautiful old Queenslander homes and hot, semi tropical weather conditions and climate. With many locals enjoying warm weather almost year-round. However, Ipswich’s weather conditions and climate are also the perfect place for termites to breed – with termite known to love warm and humid/damp climates to build their nests.
We treat many cases of termite infestations throughout Ipswich daily. So, if you think you have a termite problem, contact us today for an inspection!
Termites are often called “White Ants”, probably because their shape, size and social habits could easily be mistaken for ants. They are in fact part of the order Blattodea, which is the same family as the cockroach.
The population of a termite colony can number well into the millions. The nests can take on various forms, with some mound nests visible on the ground and other termite species nests can be built way up in trees. Some nests are subterranean (underground) and almost impossible to find.
The SAYFER team of technicians use non-repellent low toxicity chemicals that act slowly. Not only is this good safe practice but we don’t want to use a chemical that is too strong that the termites die too quickly. The Termidor foam applied to the workings should not begin to affect the termites for at least 2-3 days. The termites are impacted by the foam directly or contaminated by the foam while using the galleries. This will allow the termites to share the treatment amongst fellow colony members before dying. Therefore, eradicating the full nest.
Termite Foaming Treatment
The aim of any foaming treatment is to treat as many worker termites with Termidor foam without disturbing them. The more galleries or the more termites foamed, the higher chance the treatment will be a success.
Above Ground Termite Baiting
Direct feeding a termite infestation is a good way of ensuring the elimination of a termite infestation. The drawback of baiting termite activity is that it can become a timely process. The Termite treatment cost can soon add up. The process of baiting is to feed the termite nest a mixture of cellulose (an ingredient in timber) with a non-toxic chemical. The Termites exposed to the termite bait are unable to form a normal exoskeleton. Then when it comes time for the termites to mould or shed they die.

Generally, a yearly inspection for termites and other pests is the best way to minimise pest infestations from developing. Depending on the type of pest and environment, more regular treatments may be required.
NO! We do not want the active termites to be disturbed, this if for a few reasons, if we know where they are, we can quickly and easily assess the best white ant treatment option for them. If they are disturbed, they may retreat, or they may just move to another area of the house, making removal more difficult.
We only use report formats which meet Australian standards and are approved by our insurers. Our report details the areas inspected, the observations of the technician, the termite risk level and finally, recommendations to minimise that risk.
If we find termites, don’t worry you are in good hands. Our pest controllers will:
Thoroughly assess and determine the full extent of the infestation and any resultant damage.
Take all practical steps to locate the termite entry points – locating the entry point is not always achievable given most termite entry is concealed but, if it can be found, it can be sealed to stop future entry.
Precisely identify the termite species – knowing and understanding the habits of the species allows for more effective, long term termite control.
After we’ve located and identified the termites, we’ll provide you a full assessment of our findings.
