Termites can cause significant (and expensive) damage to Brisbane homes and buildings. These tiny pests are notorious for their ability to eat through wood, leaving behind a trail of destruction in their wake.

It’s important to be aware of the threat that termites post to your property and to take steps to protect your home from termite infestation. The most effective way to detect and prevent termite infestation is through regular termite inspections. During a termite inspection, we’ll examine the interior and exterior of your home, looking for any signs of termite activity. This may include inspecting the foundation, walls, and floors of your home, as well as checking for any visible termite damage such as holes in wood or termite droppings.

If we unfortunately discover termites we’ll recommend a course of treatment which will effectively eliminate the infestation and prevent further termite activity.

Regular termite inspections are  an important part of protecting your home’s structural integrity. Left unchecked, termites can cause significant structural damage, resulting in expensive repairs. By catching a termite infestation early, you can minimize the amount of damage and avoid costly repairs down the road.

We advise all our clients to have termite inspections annually at a minimum to ensure their homes are protected. If you don’t have a termite barrier in place, a termite inspection every six months is the way to go.

If you find termites in the back garden and you want to know what you should do next, don’t disturb them too much. Disturbing termites may result in them simply moving to a different area. Once they’ve moved we have no real way of knowing where they’ve  gone. Keeping the workings and the nest (if there is one)  intact is very important. For successful treatment, the we’ll  need to use the workings to kill the colony.

So if you think you may have termites in your home – call us right away!
