The majority of our residential customers have found that scheduling a yearly general pest treatment, typically in the spring, maintains a pest-free home. A general pest spray will keep many crawling pests such as spiders, cockroaches, and ants at bay.

Termites are a different story – they are active throughout the year, meaning a property is a potential termite target at all times. This is why it is strongly recommended that a home is inspected for termite activity every year. Many customers choose to combine their annual termite inspection with a general pest spray.

For commercial properties such as schools and cafes, Go Pest takes a collaborative approach. A customised commercial pest control plan is developed to suit the specific requirements of the business, ensuring that we go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. All the necessary documentation is kept up to date, regulatory requirements are met, and a pest-free environment is assured.

Termite Control Services Kennington

Termites thrive in warm, humid conditions. Termites are active all year round, constructing nests and actively foraging for new food sources, typically wood. This can be timber they find in bushland or in your home! To protect your home from termites you need a termite management plan consisting of annual termite inspections and a termite treatment, if other termite protection measure on your home are insufficient.

The most effective strategy for safeguarding your home against termites is the installation of a termite protection system. Typically, this involves treating the soil surrounding your property with a termiticide or placing bait stations around the perimeter of your property. Both are highly effective options that make it almost impossible for termites to access the property without being detected. 

Having a professional termite inspection every year is an essential protective measure that every homeowner should take. During the inspection, one of our skilled termite inspectors will conduct a thorough examination of your property to identify any signs of termite activity, and importantly identify conditions and issues around the building that may make a termite attack more likely. After the inspection, a full written report will be shared that outlines the findings of the inspection, giving recommendations for further actions. If termite activity is found, a number of termite treatment options will be proposed. 

There are two parts to a termite treatment – the first part is to eliminate active termites from the building, the second part is to install a system to provide the long term protection from termites. Different products are required for each stage of the process.

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

Building regulations require termite protection measures to be installed during the construction of residential buildings. This applies to building new homes, adding an extension or carrying out some  renovations.

To design the best termite protection for your home, it’s best to contact us at the design phase.

Key Pests in Kennington

Termites are the primary pest in Kennington due to the level of structural damage they can inflict on a property, although there are a plenty of other pests around too. 

After significant rains, mosquitoes can be a problem for those living close to Kennington Reservoir, especially in the height of summer. The warmer weather can also see spiders making an appearance indoors, especially running spiders such as white-tailed spiders and huntsman spiders. Our spider control treatments are very popular, especially in Spring.

Rats and mice are a problem for homeowners and businesses alike. They only need the slightest gap in a skirting board or around a penetration pipe to end up making a home for themselves indoors. Autumn is the peak season for rodents, when they retreat indoors as the temperature drops outside. Having a professional rodent control plan is the best way to keep them out.
