New video of a Sanctuary Pest termite inspection after prospective buyers found termites when the house for sale was being inspected. Since 1994 Sanctuary Pest Control and Termite Management has provided nil odour pest control and termite inspections for homes, businesses and strata plans throughout Byron Bay and surrounds from Ballina to Nimbin and north to Murwillumbah, Terranora and Banora Point.

For those of you who discover termites in or around your house or have a neighbour with termites, we have Termite Treatments to eradicate the colony including the Queen as well as ongoing protection options. For peace of mind when purchasing property, we recommend our Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections.

Sanctuary Pest Control and Termite Management proprietor Michael Powell performing a pest inspection under the floorboards. Note the small bats he had for company! Problems associated with pests can be divided in two categories; (a) Health pests and (b) Economic pests. Termites for instance are economic pests causing upwards of thousands of dollars damage to a home.
Services
Sanctuary Pest Control and Termite Managementwas started in Byron Bay in 1994 with the belief that the home is a sanctuary and as such should be a safe and healthy place to be. Later on this belief was expanded to include the world we live in as a sanctuary (and who can argue looking at this beautiful pocket of land and sea) and taking care of this world was a duty that could not be overlooked.
Byron Bay is often described as 'where the ocean meets the rainforest'. Byron is located in a sub tropical zone which is typically home to many hundreds of species of insects. Many of these insects we will either never see or perhaps only get a fleeting glimpse.
Lismore and Nimbin are great places and are both hubs for business and tourism. On the doorstep of some wonderful national parks and areas of exceptional beauty it should come as no surprise that even termites love the place! Given the sensitive nature of this large area we only perform our termite monitoring and baiting using a system which is specific to termites.
A big part of Ballina itself is an island with surrounding areas such as Wardell, Lennox Head and Cumbalum. These and other neighbouring suburbs provide pests such as termites, ants and cockroaches with the different types of environments and living conditions they need to thrive. Because of the land diversity around Ballina different pests become problems in different areas and different treatments will be needed.
This video shows more information about the Sanctuary Pest termite treatment. It is a follow up video after the initial inspection found termites - see previous video below. After a termite inspection we will have a clearer picture of the type of termites on your property. Then we will offer you one or more termite treatment proposals for your consideration.

Michael is a genious! I've used him for years to keep our place insect free.
Taught me tricks to recognise army worms in my lawn where I noticed lots of yellow patches... "wet towel overnight on patches you suspect may be infected ...in the morning will be loads of army worms under. Get onto it quick w spray or special sand as followup or...yr lawn may be history.

Super impressed with this business, one employee in particular Paul, went above and beyond not only getting the job done quickly and proficiently but also removing a rat in the process! Could not give enough praise for the service, 100% happy.

Wonderful service and support. I can’t speak highly enough about Sanctuary Pest Control after being let down by two other operators in the region. Every stage from booking an inspection to treating issues that might be discovered has been thoroughly professional. Highly recommended!

I have found Sanctuary Pest Management to be a very professional, helpful and efficient company to deal with, particularly Brad the tech whom has conducted various inspections and treatments on our property. Brad is up-front, knowledgeable, professional, helpful and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Pest & Termite Management.

We discovered we had termites and left a message with Sanctuary Pest Management and another company to call us back. Sanctuary Pest called us back within the hour, Michael came over and worked out how to treat the problem and followed up exactly when he said he would. Fabulous customer service.

Sanctuary got rid of our termites in a way that was safe for our newborn and the environment. I've had their system installed around our house, and they have already prevented further termite invasion. Always punctual, always reliable, friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for saving and caring about our house and family.
