Termites, sometimes called white ants
( because of their creamy colouring and ant-like appearance ) can cause great damage to
your home. Termites don't like light and are rarely seen in the open, and because of
this can be difficult to find. They can be found within timbers where they leave a wafer
like thin layer to protect themselves from the outside environment. Sometimes they conceal
themselves within mud like tubes or galleries through which they travel.
They really are an incredible creature and much to be admired in a natural environment.
BUT NOT IN YOUR HOME.
You may notice winged termites in or around your home. This may be an annual
migration from the nest and doesn't mean there is a termite colony attacking your
house. If you see these it is important to locate and destroy the nest. That's Our Job.
Do not disturb the colony and call us.
You should have regular inspections of all timber and possible termite entry points.
We can identify timber problems and advise you of the solutions. If you find termite
damage in your home, call us and do not disturb the termites. We will
investigate the size and nature of the infestation and advise you on the available
options.
However,
Prevention is better than cure.
