Destructive Eaters
Termites can silently destroy large structural beams within months. Check for hollow-sounding wood.
Often Invisible
Most activity occurs behind walls and under floors, so regular inspections are critical.
Speed Counts
Delaying action can double repair costs. The earlier you act, the more you save.
- Look for discarded wings, mud tubes, and blistering paint—signs of termites in the structure.
- Maintain good drainage to keep foundations dry and less attractive to termites.
- Schedule annual checks for peace of mind and early detection.
Elimination Strategies
Step-by-Step Guide
- Inspect all woodwork and subflooring for termite trails and damage.
- Remove infested timber and expose infested zones to light and air where possible.
- Apply appropriate termiticides to affected areas (always follow safety labels and use protective equipment).
- Consider bait stations for long-term control—monitor monthly.
DIY vs. Professional Treatments
- DIY: Small infestations can sometimes be handled with off-the-shelf products, but always track progress and inspect thoroughly.
- Professional: Seek certified help for large or hidden infestations. Local experts can access effective solutions not sold in stores.
