Termites facts
- Subterranean termites are the most common type of termite that infests timber in buildings and are one of the most destructive pests worldwide.
- Most species need to be near a source of moisture to survive, making their nests in or near the ground where they can easily acquire moisture from the soil.
- They live underground, above ground in mounds, inside trees and in arboreal nests high on trees.
- They tunnel through soil to enter our homes and business.
- Start their feeding process (causing damage) from the ground up and typically enter a building through the sub-structure.
Damage / impact by termite population / infestation
- Partially or completely damaging building material in service.
Treatment methods
- Treatment method will depend on a number of factors including but not limited to (termite species, location of infestation, property type, block type and soil type).
