Termite Control in Hervey Bay.
Termite baiting and monitoring.
Sandy Straits Pest Control offers the choice between Termidor Fipforce or Biflex termiticide for a chemical treated termite management system (treated zone) on your home.
Chemical termite management systems are installed to the external perimeter of your property. Our technicians, will trench, treat, and backfill soil areas against your home. Concrete paths, driveways and patios are drilled, then the chemical is injected under the concrete, and the holes are capped with plugs.
There are options to increase the spacing distances of the treatment drill holes using Termidor HE and Fipforce HP termiticides. Contact our team to arrange a free online assessment.
Fripronil is a non-repellent termiticide, meaning termites cannot detect the chemical in the ground, and works by the “Transfer Effect”. While foraging through the soil, the termites come in contact with the chemical and then the affected termites transfer Fipronil – the active constituent (ingredient), to others in the colony, by contact, grooming and exchange of food, which helps to eliminate the colony.
Biflex is a synthetic pyrethroid repellent termiticide. Biflex Termiticide quickly kills any termites it comes in contact with. Biflex provides a protective force field around your home. When termites forage through the soil and come in contact with a termite management barrier treated with Biflex Termiticide, they are repelled from the treated area and die.

Timber Pest Inspections
How do you get rid of termites if you don’t even know they’re there? Our timber pest inspections utilise the latest thermal imaging technology—and techniques—to determine if and where they exist! This is a non-invasive method of looking behind the walls of your building and can detect even low levels of pest infestations—perfect for early identification and treatment.
At Sandy Straits Pest Control we use Termatrac T3i and the Flir E6 Thermal Imaging Camera to provide a thorough analysis on the situation at hand.
Termiticide Soil Treatments
Termite baiting and monitoring.
In addition to Chemical Soil Treatment barriers, another variant of termite management is termite baiting. The active baits can be used in conjunction with the above or as a standalone solution. It provides a perimeter treatment where the home has an intricate foundation system, (I.e. is built into a hill or split level), or simply a low exposure offering.
They require no trenching or drilling for the installation. Here at Sandy Straits Pest Control, we offer the industry’s leading stations, being Trelona Active Baiting System (ATBS), and Sentricon Always Active (AA), to tailor a solution to you and your home.
With a very palatable attractant confined to the unobtrusive bait stations, the system works by feeding the colony to elimination, including the queen. So you are protecting the house by controlling the colony.
Termite Reticulation Systems.
A termite reticulation system is a network of underground piping that’s installed around the home in order to provide ongoing protection against termites. At Sandy Straits Pest Control, we use termite TermX reticulation system. The chemical used in this reticulation system can act up to 8 years in good conditions, is the best available, and applied in accordance with Australian Standards. A termite reticulation system is designed to effectively keep termites away from your home, and allows for reapplication of termiticide at any time in the future with no disruption to the finished landscaping.
TermX can be applied to new homes, renovations and to existing buildings.
