Benefits Of A Pest Management Program Experience Counts Managing your home or workplace for pests is managing the basics - making it clean, healthy & safe for you, your family, friends, colleagues, clients, or anyone that visits your place. Whether you are looking after your home, office, restaurant, warehouse, factory or somewhere else managing your property for pests is an important part of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of any person that enters your property. It is also a risk management and cost saving initiative. A pest problem left unmanaged can cost big dollars. Why Should I Consider Pest Management For My Property? There are a number of reasons you should manage your property for pests. First and foremost pests can impact your health. Cockroaches and Rodents carry harmful diseases, and Spiders, Wasps and Bees can inflict serious, and often life threatening, bites and stings. Pests can also threaten building safety. Aside from the health implications pests can damage electrical cords, stored food, linen, clothing and more. Termite Management should be a serious consideration for any property owner. Termites can cause considerable damage to your property, and often this damage can occur in a relatively short time. Recent CSIRO surveys estimate the risk of Termite attack and damage is as high as 1 in 3 properties. When you consider that most home insurance policies do not cover Termite damage, Termite assessment of your property is vital. At Advanced Basics our experience means all Technicians are trained at the highest standards. They deliver our comprehensive Integrated Pest Management Process using the highest quality and most effective products available. So why does experience matter?

These recommendations will also advise what should be done in the future to avoid or minimise further problems. A well managed and maintained pest program will help you avoid the risk of major pest damage, protect your health, and bring you piece of mind creepy crawlies will not impact your living environment and those that share it with you.

Building Safety & Protection For Homes and Businesses Family Protection Ensure The Wellbeing Of Your Family & Pets For further information on Termite Services we would be pleased to book you in for a free no obligation personal phone consultation with one of our qualified Specialist Termite Technicians. Visual Termite Inspections & Pre-Purchase Inspections This fundamental service is a first point of call for any prospective or existing property owner. Learn more about the condition of your property with our thorough and extensive Inspection Services. Our Technicians will use their extensive experience and knowledge to determine if your property has active Termites or inactive Termite evidence. A comprehensive Visual Termite Inspection provides the foundation for accurate assessment of any Invasive Inspections and Property Management recommendations or Programs that may be required. Our service on average takes around 2 hours for a standard sized property and provides you with: An in-depth review of accessible property areas including property interior, roof cavity, walls, subfloor, and exterior areas surrounding the property such as fences, trees, gardens, garages and other outbuildings. Full written report of property assessment Recommendations for property management If you believe you have Termites on your property it is critical you undertake a Visual Termite Inspection as soon as possible. Invasive Termite Inspections Generally an Invasive Termite Inspection will be required if your Visual Termite Inspection identifies areas that require further investigation. Generally we will always conduct a Visual Termite Inspection before undertaking any Invasive Inspection activity. We will advise you on the day of your service and in your report if any Invasive Inspection is required. If your property has previously had Termite activity or damage it is sometimes relevant, or you may request us, to initially conduct a Combined Termite Inspection which includes undertaking a range of both Visual & Invasive Termite Inspection activities during your service. We will be able to discuss this with you at the time of your booking. Termite Eradication Advanced Basics guarantees Termite Eradication when you contract our services. Termite Eradication will always be conducted following at a minimum a full Visual Termite Inspection of your property. This Inspection allows our Technicians to confirm active Termites, including all important species identification and the extent of any damage. This information will help us determine nest locations, number of colonies and other vital information to determine treatment processes. For example Subterranean Termites will attack a building from the ground below. They may be coming from a nest in a tree or stump up to 100 metres away or further. Species identification will determine the right treatment type, and if these steps are not correctly undertaken your risk of eradication failure or re-infestation is increased. Termite Property Management Programs For a long term solution Advanced Basics strongly recommends a Termite Management Program as the best protection for your property to control risks and minimise possible Termite damage. A Termite Management Program involves a tailored program specific to your property needs and includes: Property Assessment Property Recommendations such as property/landscape changes and debris removal Termite Management Systems & Treatment, which can include: - Regular Visual Termite Inspections at 3 or 6 monthly intervals - Baiting and Monitoring Systems - Physical Barriers Ongoing property servicing and maintenance Timber Replacement Warranties Advanced Basics can issue Timber Replacement Warranties to any property, subject to the property meeting the criteria of the Warranty Programs.

Workplace Safety Supporting Best Practice Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Managing your workplace for pests is managing the basics - making it clean, healthy & safe for you, your colleagues, clients, or anyone that visits your workplace. Whether you work in a home office, office complex, restaurant, factory or somewhere else managing your workplace for pests is an important part of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of any person that enters your property. It is also a risk management and cost saving initiative. A pest problem left unmanaged can cost big dollars. A well managed and maintained pest program will help your organisation avoid negative results such as: Structural damages to properties damage from pests like Termites can result in significant costs for Termite eradication, builders, painters, carpet/flooring, business stock replacement and more. Health risks - anyone who works at or visits your property being exposed to pests that carry diseases such as Cockroaches & Rodents. Damage to stored food and property resources any food stored may be compromised, and pests such as Rodents and Termites can eat electrical cords. Lost clients/visitors coming across a creepy crawly anywhere on your property will not entice a return visit. Poor business reputation if visitors/staff/clients are unhappy your reputation may suffer significant damage. Loss of license to operate your organisation has a care of duty to ensure it adheres to food, health & safety regulations, which is imperative if you are responsible for provision of food, caring for people, or the safety of any building structures. 6 7
