We cater to various business industries such as dairy factories, food stores, government buildings, healthcare facilities, farming and agriculture.
• Pre-purchase Building Inspection: Purchasing property is a long-term investment and to ensure you can make such a big decision stress-free and without any regrets later, we provide thorough pest inspection of the property before any purchase. While inspecting the property, we look for any signs of past pest infestations, active infestations, or potential threats/ factors that could lead to a pest issue, such as high moisture levels, old wooden home structures, etc., as this would also help with negotiations and in making an informed decision.
• Subfloor Ventilation Solutions: To protect the health of your home and ensure your subfloors are well-ventilated and not gathering moisture and attracting pests, we install a mechanically installed system. This will prevent moisture from getting into your home, and the build-up of mould and mildew which can significantly affect the structural integrity of your home and cause many health issues.
• Termite Control: Termite infestations are one of the most common in Australia as these pests invade and destroy homes from the inside out. They are also one of the most challenging pests to find, catch and get rid of due to their small size and secretive activities. To eliminate them, we provide a variety of solutions such as using chemical treatments, baiting systems, fumigations, etc., along with a comprehensive plan to prevent future infestations. Since most insurances don’t cover termite damages, we strive to keep your home termite-free with our solutions.
• Rodent Control: We know the dangers of having a rodent infestation and how they can severely affect your health and damage your property. Not only do they cause structural damage and steal your food items, leaving a mess around your home but they are also responsible for many short circuits caused due to chewed up wiring. Not to forget the various diseases and health issues they can cause by urinating, defecating and walking over.
• Possum Removal: Since possums are native to Australia and protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, trying to remove them from your property in an inhumane way could get you into big trouble. We at Protech Pest are certified to effectively and securely remove possums from your property and relocate them. We also provide effective methods and solutions to prevent them from returning again.
• Bird Control Solutions: Birds can be a nuisance to have living on your property considering the mess they make with their nest material and droppings along with the health risks due to carrying bacterias and fleas. We offer cost-effective bird control and proofing solutions to protect your property from birds. We also offer solar panel bird proofing alternatives to ensure your solar panels are safe from any sort of damage.
• Insect Control Services: No matter the species, insects can cause a lot of damage to your property and can be a nuisance to have on your property especially if you have children and pets. We offer wholesome control and removal treatments for all types of insects like ants, bees, bed bugs, beetles, cockroaches, flies, fleas, moths, mosquitoes, spiders, silverfish, wood borers and wasps.
