“We utilise modern detection tools, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, to identify termite issues early. This allows us to implement effective treatment solutions swiftly, minimizing damage to your property.”

Identifying termite activity

 Termite activity is often difficult to detect as it usually occurs in concealed areas. We recommend regularly looking in and around your home to try and identify any potential termite activity. Things to look for include:

• weak timber that breaks easily revealing wafer thin layers – skirting boards are often the first point of damage
• changes in corner fascia under gutters, as termites are attracted to damp or moist areas
• mud-like tubes or material around external footings/brickwork, or internal fittings like service pipes and electrical plugs
• cracks or holes in timber or plaster with a fine dust residue.

Look at surrounding trees, wood piles and garden beds (up to a 50 metres radius around the home) for signs of an active colony nearby.

IF YOU FIND TERMITES

If you find termites, CALL US NOW. WE can recommend the best treatment, which may include chemical spray options, reticulation and/or baiting systems.

Don’t use surface spray or rip out floorboards or other affected building material. You may kill a few termites in those timbers, but you will have reduced the chances of an expert effectively treating the main nest. The termites will regroup and probably attack another section of the house..
