Frequently Asked Questions

I have found termites, what am I supposed to do?

When live termites, also known as white ants, are discovered, it is best not to do anything to hinder their colony before a plan for eradication is put into place. The termites could move to a different place if there’s interference with the infested timber. If this happens, it will be quite difficult to completely eliminate the termites. When the white ants are taken care, the timber should be replaced.

Just how much should I expect to need to pay to have my house treated?

How Can I Prevent Termites From Getting Into My Home?

Schedule an yearly professional real estate inspection by a qualified and licensed pest control. Replace any untreated retaining walls or wood garden perimeters with timber that’s treated for termites or other termite-resistant materials. Treat any sources of excessive moisture like faulty plumbing, leak sources, or dampness as a result of inadequate drainage. Garden beds should be raked from structures to keep weep holes and concrete slab edges exposed. Keep any loose timber and trash away from your property, and prevent direct wood-to-soil touch around your property. Eliminate stumps and dead trees since they are harbouring spots for subterranean termites.
