Our technicians are fully qualified and experienced in termite prevention and treatment.
Termite mud – Termites make ‘mud’ tunnels to provide a safe environment to travel or to protect their food sources. This mudding is often hard to see as it will be behind your walls or underground on your premises, but can sometimes be seen in your home or business’s foundations or architraves.
Hollow sounding timber – When termites consume timber, they eat from the inside out leaving a thin veneer of timber or paint. Making them the ‘silent killer’. If you knock on the timber and it sounds hollow. Call for a termite inspection immediately.
Your finger presses through a door jam- This is a common thing we hear from customers as the first sign of termites. As termites have eaten away the structural timber in your home, such as a door jam, skirting board, roofing or architrave, simply touching or applying pressure against them will easily cause damage.
Tight fitting door or hard to open window – Termites cause the timber to swell which makes it harder to open a window or close a door.
