Signs Include

Timber Damage

This condition can occur because wood-boring insects, such as termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles, infest a structure and cause the wood to weaken, rot, or decay. This can lead to structural damage, which can be costly to repair. It is important to be aware of the signs of home timber damage and to have regular inspections to ensure that your home is not at risk.

Blistering Paint

Blistering paint on homes can be caused by a variety of issues, including improper surface preparation, inadequate priming, excessive moisture, and extreme temperature changes. It can also be caused by the presence of pests like termites or carpenter ants. If you’re experiencing blistering pain in your home, it is important to identify the underlying cause in order to determine the most effective way to address it.

Strange Marks

The presence of strange marks on your walls, furniture, or other wood surfaces is likely due to the presence of termites. It is important to act quickly to get rid of these pests before they can even cause more damage.

Faulty Electrics

Termites may cause electrical problems if they chew through wiring or other components. Common signs of termite damage to electrical systems include flickering lights, buzzing outlets, sparks or smoke coming from outlets, and electrical shorts.

Spots of Mud Protruding From Walls

Mud protruding from walls is a common sign of a termite infestation. Termites build mud tunnels or galleries as they travel from one area to another and feed on wood. These mud tunnels are usually found near existing wood or other cellulose-based materials. If you see mud protruding from your walls, it is likely that you have a termite infestation in your home.

Don’t forget to remove tree stumps and eliminate sources of water like dripping taps and leaks in the home – all of which can attract termites.

Alates

The reproductives, consisting of dark-coloured males and females with fully developed wings, later on leave the nest. After flying in swarms, they shed their wings, pair off and mate.

The pair of reproductives will then find a location to begin a new colony, where they are the king and queen, responsible for the production of eggs.

The Queen

Queens are the largest in their colony, expanding up to 20,000 times the size of other termites. The royal pair can outlive the rest of the members, living up to ten years.

The daily production of eggs can reach up 30,000 that the queen is usually unable to move about due to the enormous growth of her abdomen. The workers are responsible for tending and feeding the queen.

Nursery

The eggs are gathered by workers and carried from the queen’s chamber to the nursery. Upon maturity, the brood becomes a part of the different castes. Some develop into workers, others into workers and a number become reproductives.

Workers

Aside from feeding and tending the queen, and transferring the eggs, the colony workers have the task of gathering food. The soldiers, on the other hand, are responsible for defending the colony. They have enlarged heads, and other species have huge jaws and a snout that they can use as weapons against enemies and attackers.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, home insurance will only cover property damage that is unexpected and accidental. Termite damage arises as a result of gradual occurrence and is considered preventable, making this an exclusion to average home insurance policies.

Termite damage, therefore, is not covered by home insurance and becomes the responsibility of the homeowner.

Termite treatments require ongoing maintenance to keep your property protected from these pests. As part of your termite management, you will need to schedule an annual termite inspection.

We use Termatrac which detects vibrations in the wall. When there is a need to confirm termite activities, a thermal camera may also be used.

Baiting
Termite Barriers

Our termite protection for preconstruction includes:

Kordon Termite Barriers
Altis Reticulation Systems

Reticulation systems are designed to treat areas under concrete slabs and around the external perimeter of structures to prevent termites from entering the building.

When this barrier is installed in the entry points of termites during the construction, active termite activity becomes more visible. This means almost zero damages and quicker eradication.

Termites are not strong enough to eat through concrete. Concrete does not give any form of nourishment to termites either. However, termites can squeeze themselves through and provide a passageway to get to the nearest food source. They can still get to any timber building materials in your home. Having concrete foundation is not a foolproof barrier for termites.

It is important to remember that a termite nest would likely to have somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 new eggs laid every single day. For a colony to be sustained, it requires access to multiple food supplies. If they are on your property, they will be in search for new things to eat.

Thus, it is important that any existing termite nests in your property be treated, or that preventative methods, such as chemical barriers, are in place to avoid termites from reaching and damaging your property.

Know that the houses in a neighbourhood can share one termite colony. If one house got termites treated it can make termites more active in another house that is already infested. However, this will not drive them to another house that have chemical barriers in place. Termites are not going to safely cross to infest your house.

You can kill the ones you can hit but the underlying problem is the colony that they came from remains and only in exterminating the colony will you remove the threat brought by termites.

Termites are among the hardest insects to get rid of. Finding them alone is challenging and gaining access to them is whole another story. You need the know-how and access to effective treatments if you want to get rid of them. It is always best to contact a professional to do the job for you instead of spending countless hours and money to have the termites in another part of the house with more damage to repair.

The materials used do not attract termites however mulch spread over three inches deep can create an inviting habitat for the pests. The layers of organic matter traps heat and moisture next to the ground and termites will use this thick mulch as a shelter.

Typically houses have wooden frame so it is still not safe from termites. No matter how the wood is separated from the ground, termites will find their way to it.

Yes. Several colonies of termites can occupy your home but each colony do not mingle from one to the other.
