Protect your building from termites, before and after it is built.
Crepps Fumigation Services Ltd provides pre-construction and post-construction termite treatment for homes, commercial buildings and developments, using an IPM approach that protects the structure for the long term.
Termites work out of sight, often for years, before any damage shows. Repairs are costly and can weaken a building's structure. The most effective protection starts before construction and is backed by regular inspection afterwards. Whether you are about to pour a foundation or have found termites in a finished building, we have the right treatment.
Pre-construction termite treatment
New builds, for builders, developers and owners
Treating the soil and structure while the site is open is the most thorough way to protect a building from the ground up.
Site assessment
soil, drainage, nearby termite activity, timber use and your construction plans
Soil treatment
a continuous protective barrier in the soil under slabs and foundations and along footings, applied to specification
Perimeter and service penetrations
treatment around plumbing, electrical and other points where termites can enter
Backfill and surrounding areas
treatment after foundation work is complete
Timber
treatment or advice where timber is used in the structure
Staged to your build
we coordinate with your contractor, so each stage is treated at the right moment, such as before concrete is poured and after backfilling
Certificate and records
a treatment record for your files, your contractor and your client, with a written warranty
Post-construction termite treatment
Existing buildings
Thorough inspection
we identify the termites, the extent of activity, the entry points and the conditions feeding them, such as moisture and wood-to-soil contact
Targeted treatment of activity
treatment of infested timber, walls and galleries directly, where termites are found
Soil treatment around the foundation
where appropriate, to stop further entry
Baiting and monitoring
stations placed to intercept and track activity
Conditions advice
fixing leaks, separating timber from soil and improving ventilation to remove what attracted them
Follow-up inspections
we check the treatment worked and catch any return early
