Termite Control Newcastle
Termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fire, flood and storms combined. They work silently and relentlessly, and by the time you see them, the damage may already be significant. This is not a pest to tackle yourself.

Why termites becomes a problem
Subterranean termites can consume structural timber from the inside out, leaving a thin outer shell that looks intact. A mature colony can contain over a million termites and cause catastrophic structural damage — often uninsured.
How Universal Pest Control treats termites
Termite treatment is never a one-size-fits-all spray. Universal conducts a full inspection, assesses the species, activity, construction type and risk, then proposes a treatment strategy. This may include chemical soil barriers, baiting systems or targeted nest treatment.
