Termites
Termites can cause major structural and economic damage to homes and commercial buildings by eating the inside of the structure and leaving only a thin shell for protection from the outside environment.
Ways to recognise termite activity:
Mud shelter tubes they build for protection. These can sometimes be seen in brick foundations or in architraves.
Hollow sounding timber (meaning they’ve eaten away at the timber).
Sagging floors or doors.
The first step in protecting your home from termite damage is to have an annual termite inspection carried out by a licenced and experienced pest technician. This cost can be considered as part of your annual insurance bill as you cannot insure against termite damage.
Once we have carried out a thorough inspection to determine the extent of any termite activity we will provide you with a range of options to treat the current infestation or to install a preventative termite protection zone around your home.
