Have you ever wondered why your Pest Controller says he can’t find a termite nest? Especially when many of us have seen the brown termite nests next to a farmers’ fence. The answer is simple…not all termites have the same type of nest.                                                                                                                                                                                

      As can be seen from the photos a termite nest can be hidden in the root crown of a tree. There was no visible signs that a termite nest was being established in this tree. During recent storms the tree split and the nest became visible. When the property had it’s annual inspection, approximately 4 weeks after the tree was split, the termite nest was still active, the nest was subsequently treated successfully.

Spring has sprung – Now is the time to treat your lawns for jo-jo, bindi-eye, chickweed, broadleaf weeds etc. Treating the weeds early will stop them going to seed which will help reduce the weed problem in the coming years. Once the treatment has been done improving the health of the lawn by fertilising is another way to reduce the amount of weeds.
