Termite Control Adelaide

Termites (commonly known as white ants) are one of the most destructive pests in Australia. Termites are all across Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills area and can cause extensive damage to the structure of a building and go for years undetected without a monitoring and inspection regime. It is estimated that 1 in 4 properties will be attacked by termites over its lifetime and most home insurance policies do not cover against termite damage. Spotting termites is difficult to the untrained eye, until the damage is considerable and expensive.

How Can You Confirm Termite Infestation At Your Property?

You may not always see termites at your property but should conclude that there is an infestation through the following signs:

  • Damage or hollowing are detected on your wooden furniture or timber products. Termites infest both softwood and hardwood alike.

  • Do you see any damage to your stored items, including books, papers, cardboard boxes, and more? If yes, it could be due to termite or white ant attacks.

  • In many cases, you may notice mud or dirt being deposited in the gaps of skirting or door jambs. It is due to the activity of termites or white ants, and you need the service of a professional termite exterminator.

  • You may also see a large number of winged insects emerging from the newly developed holes near windows or doors as the first evidence of termite infestation at your property.

If you see any of the following signs at your property, contact us immediately for a termite inspection and white ant treatment services.
