Everyone! If you are a home owner, renter or simply standing under a timber framed structure, you are at risk. Australia caters for hundreds of species of termites with certain colonies eating as much as 7kg of timber per day.
There are three key signs to look out for that will tell you if you have a problem with termites.
Termite wings: Termite wings can be found near closed windows, doors and other home access points.
Mud trails: Mud trailed can be seen wherever the ground meets your house or other possible food sources such as trees or the shed.
Wood damage: Wood damage can be found below and behind surfaces like walls, floors and more.
If termites are detected at your property Blast Pest Management will use the following methods to eliminate the pest problem in your home:
Dusting the workings of the colony to get colony control with a fipronil dusting termiticide.
Foaming the workings of the colony to get colony control with a fipronil foaming termiticide.
Chemical injecting the workings or nest of the colony to get colony control with a fipronil liquid termiticide.
Blast Pest Management will eliminate the colony and enact protective measures to protect your home from reinfestation using 2 primary methods:
Method 1: Chemical barrier. There is a choice between 3 primary methods, Blast Pest Management will recommend the right treatment for you.
Method 2: Baiting systems.
A Blast Pest Management technician will inspect your kitchen, restaurant, storage areas, refrigeration, disposal areas and toilets for the presence of pests.
You will be provided with a detailed report and quote for job requirements and Blast’s recommendations on how to treat pests.
You will be advised on what areas (if any) need special attention; access points or exposed food will be primary locations to look at.
The Blast Pest Management technician will use commercial grade equipment to steam clean the kitchen areas. Chemicals will be used to remove food sources and sanitise all food preparation areas if required.
If required, Blast Pest Management will complete a pest treatment service.
Precautions will be taken to ensure cracks, crevices and other access points are treated to prevent future infestations.
This treatment will be repeated monthly or when required.

In most cases weeds are generally only susceptible to one herbicide so it is important to the correct products and applications to ensure control of each specific weed. Common mistakes made by other businesses dealing in weed management include using incorrect products and dosage to save costs. Blast Pest Management use the following herbicides to manage weeds:
Broad Spectrum: These work on a wide variety of weeds.
Selective: These work on a narrow range of weeds.
Contact: These destroy weed tissue at or near the point of contact rather than spreading around the weed. Even coverage is required on application.
Stystemic: These move through the weeds circulation system and can be injected into the weed.
Residual: These can applied to the soil and destroy the root uptake. They remain active in the ground for a certain length of time and can control germinating seedlings.
In most cases weeds must be actively growing to be vulnerable to herbicide treatment.
Weeds need to be identified prior to starting treatment.
For the best results, it is important to not mow the lawn application and to wait 48 hours to mow the lawn after application.
It is important to use the correct herbicide, application and spraying equipment for each type of weed.
Protective wear must always be worn when dealing with chemicals.
Unwanted foliage is the termination of any living plan matter. The products used in unwanted foliage will only be used in areas where all foliage need to be killed. The chemical used in unwanted foliage management will transfer to the root system of the weed for a quick knock down effect. Unwanted foliage is non-residual which means it will only kill off what is there and additional treatment will be required for future growth or crops.
