Termite Inspection Cairns

In the breathtaking landscapes of Cairns, stretching from Far North Queensland to Cape York, beauty isn’t the only thing that’s abundant. The CSIRO flags our region for its high termite risk. These ‘white ants’, as they’re often called, don’t discriminate – they’re a lurking danger for every kind of building. Be it homes grounded on concrete, ones flaunting timber floors with robust steel supports, or those quaintly perched on stumps, we at Ridapest Termite & Pest Control are here to fortify each one.

Consistency is crucial when dealing with termites.

Regular termite inspections in Cairns are vital to ensure the protection of your property. According to Australian Standards, it is recommended to have a termite inspection conducted at least once every 12 months.

Now, let’s talk business. What is the cost of a termite inspection in Cairns?

Subterranean termites, also known as “white-ants,” are incredibly discreet and destructive pests that pose a significant threat to timber structures in the Far North. They cause extensive damage to homes in Cairns.

Coptotermes acinaciformis – commonly found in urban areas of Queensland including Cairns, can be located beneath on-ground concrete flooring and in areas with abundant large trees. They are highly destructive timber pests and can cause severe damage to buildings. A single colony of this species can consist of over a million termites.

Mastotermes darwiniensis – predominantly found in coastal and regional areas of Tropical North Queensland, is the largest and most destructive termite species in Australia.

Nasutitermes walkeri – commonly encountered in coastal and bushland areas, construct nests in trees and target timber in buildings that are exposed to excessive moisture.

No Chemicals, No Problems!

We recommend Trelona Termite Baiting or a Sentricon® system be installed for homes where a continuous TERMIDOR Treated Soil Barrier is not practical or possible. Our termite baiting and monitoring in Cairns will help ensure that these pests are kept at bay.

Termite baits are most effective when used in areas where there is active termite infestation within a building or its surroundings. To target these specific locations, Termite Bait Stations are strategically placed.

These advanced bait matrices are significantly less toxic than common table salt. They are securely housed within lockable plastic stations, positioned both in the ground around the building and inside the premises where live termites are present.

Trelona Termite Bait has been proven to be irresistible to various termite species found across Australia, including Coptotermes, Schedorhinotermes, Nasutitermes, and it is the only approved bait for Mastotermes Dariwneses.

Regular inspections, typically scheduled once a month, are necessary until complete elimination of the termite colony is achieved. Australian Standards recommend that even protected properties undergo inspections at intervals ranging from every 3 to 6 months.

Subterranean termites frequently establish their colony nests both within and around tree stumps. RIDAPEST suggests performing test drilling on susceptible trees, and if live termites are discovered, treating them with either Termidor Dust® or Termidor Residual®.

This is a key component of our comprehensive termite eradication in Cairns service.
