To keep spiders and crawling insects out of living spaces, many of our customers choose to have a ‘spider spray’ each year. Also called a general pest treatment, it will keep spiders and others pests outdoors where they belong and will remain effective for many months. 

Termites present the greatest threat to people’s homes and, require active management to protect the building from termite attack. It is recommended that all Australian homeowners have their property professionally inspected for signs of termite entry at least once a year. Many of our customers like to combine their an annual termite inspection with a general pest treatment in the same visit for added convenience and a discount.

We also work with small businesses in Harcourt such as wineries, orchards and hotels to keep their premises free from pests. At Go Pest we work with businesses to keep to ensure they keep their premises pest free and ensure they remain compliant with any relevant regulations.

Termite Control Services Harcourt

As termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance, all homeowners in Harcourt should have a termite management plan to protect their property. This is a combination of annual termite inspections, termite protection built into the construction and termite treatments.

It is recommended that Harcourt homeowners have a professional termite inspection every year, to check for evidence of termite activity in their house and on their property. During the inspection, one of our professional inspectors will thoroughly inspect the building and surrounding area for signs of termites, noting potential ‘weak spots’ that might allow termites to gain entry e.g. a wood pile stacked close to the house, or fence timbers in contact with the soil. Our comprehensive report will detail the findings and recommendations. 

Whether your home is being attacked by termites or you’re considering protection to prevent a termite attack, there are two types of termite treatments that can be used – either a chemical treatment to the soil or the installation of a termite baiting system.

If you already have termites in your home, we carry out specialist treatment to eradicate the active termites from the building before we install the termite treatment for long term protection.

Go Pest are fully qualified to provide the full range of termite products and so can make the best treatment recommendation for your situation.

If you are building a home or carrying out renovations you need to consider incorporating termite protection during the build. Indeed building regulations require it! Please give as a call at the planning stage.

About Harcourt

Harcourt is a small town 31 km south of Bendigo, traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung tribe. Harcourt lies at the foot of Mount Alexander and is a historic goldrush town, after a shepherd first discovered gold in 1851. The decline of gold mining saw Harcourt becoming an apple growing town, known for its premium fruit. Today, Harcourt is still considered the apple centre of Victoria, with cider and wine production growing in popularity.

As well as apples, Harcourt is well known for its granite stone, which was mined extensively in the 1860s and is used widely across the country. Granite from Harcourt was used for many high profile buildings in the country including Parliament House in Canberra and the John Flynn Memorial at Alice Springs.

Mount Alexander Regional Park is 3 km east of Harcourt and features scenic bush walks through Harcourt Valley. It also includes the historic oak forest that was established by the tanning industry for producing acorns.

Harcourt was named after Sir William Vernon Harcourt who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British parliament at the time.
