Termites In Your Home

Termites strike fear into homeowners around the world. These tiny wood-devouring insects can chomp through your timber structures and cause severe and costly damage. They can even cause homes to collapse! 1 in 3 properties in Australia will be affected by termites at some stage in their lifetime, which causes greater damage than fires, storms, and floods combined. Unlike these natural disasters, termite damage is not covered by the majority of home insurance policies, leaving many with damaged homes and no help. The subterranean termite is the most destructive species of termite, and it can burrow tunnels of up to 100m. It’s imperative to have an annual timber pest inspection and regular treatments to protect your home.

Signs of a Potential Infestation

Ways to identify potential termite infestiations

Termites are so difficult to prevent and find because of their size and ability to live in subterranean tunnels away from the open air. Key indicators of an infestation include mud trails leading up the sides of buildings, plus pieces of dried mud in the joins of doors or windows. There may also be damp stains or blistering on doors or skirting boards. Other signs include soft or sagging floorboards, plus – if you listen closely – the very faint sound of tapping or chewing behind plaster walls. If you suspect you have termites, it is imperative to get in touch with Flick Anticimex ASAP. The longer you leave it, the more costly damage may be wreaked.

Termite Inspection

Early detection is crucial

A visual timber pest inspection to identify termite and timber pest activity should be conducted annually. If your home is located in a high risk area our technicians may recommend more frequent inspections. Early detection will help significantly reduce damage and the cost of repairs. Our fully trained and qualified technicians carry out all Inspections in accordance with Australian standards. Our technicians use a combination of detection techniques to help detect termite activity. During your Flick Timber Pest Inspection we will:

  1. Inspect accessible areas all buildings, structures and attachments containing timber and cellulose
  2. Inspect timber fences, decks, pergolas and outbuildings
  3. Inspect all trees and landscape timbers on within the property boundary or to 30m from the main structure.
  4. Provide a detailed report and recommendations
  5. If there is any evidence of termites or no existing termite management plan we will discuss treatment and home protection options
