                |  | There are no species of termites in Tasmania which are destructive 
                  to buildings. However, there are a range of other pests that inhabit domestic 
                  and commercial premises.
 The older style acute toxicity pesticides (usually solvent based 
                  with an awful smell) are commonly used by the fly-by-night 
                  "cut-price" operators as an overall "blanket-spray" for 
                  general pests or in the subfloor area for termites. Some of 
                  the insect pests show chemical resistance given the widespread 
                  use of these pesticides over the last 30 years.
 Unfortunately, the AUSTRALIAN pest control industry has a mixed 
                  reputation ... good and bad. It is far too easy to start up 
                  a pest control business employing people to use the hazardous 
                  pesticides who do not have the training to provide a safe and 
                  effective service. Further information in the Consumer 
                  Advice section of this website, including some important 
                  tips from The 
                  Australian Pest Controllers Association Inc. on selecting 
                  a professional pest controller.
