Seasonal alert · Southern Highlands

European wasps are a serious Highlands problem.

The Highlands’ cooler climate suits European wasps, and their nests can grow very large. They’re an introduced pest that’s more aggressive than native wasps and a real risk for kids, pets and anyone allergic to stings.

Found a nest? Don’t spray it, block it or dig it up yourself. Keep kids and pets away, note where the wasps are going in and out, and give us a call.

Termite inspections

Termites work out of sight. Our inspections don't.

Termites can eat through framing, floors and roof timbers for months before there’s any sign on the surface. A thorough inspection is the cheapest way to catch them early. Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends one at least every 12 months.

We combine experienced technicians with the right tools, so we can check what’s happening inside walls and subfloors, not just what’s visible.

Our inspection toolkit

Experienced technicians

Licensed techs who know where termites hide in Highlands homes and what the early signs look like.

Moisture meter

Termites need moisture. Readings behind walls and around wet areas flag hidden risk and activity.

Thermal imaging camera

Shows temperature changes behind walls and ceilings that can point to termite nests and workings.

Termatrac radar

Detects termite movement inside walls and timber without drilling or damaging your home.

Custom written reports

A clear report with photos, findings and recommendations, written for your property.

For tricky jobs

Meet Harry, our termite detection dog.

Some jobs need more than tools. When a property is tricky, with renovated walls, hard-to-reach subfloors or activity we can't pin down, Harry's nose takes over. He's trained to sniff out live termite activity, helping us find where termites are working without pulling your home apart.

  • Trained to detect live termite activity
  • Ideal for hard-to-access areas
  • Works alongside our technicians and equipment
