Termite control

The clearest signs are narrow mud tubes on walls or columns, timber that looks intact but sounds hollow when tapped, and wooden doors or windows that suddenly stick with no obvious moisture cause. You may also find small discarded wings near lights during the swarming season.

Pre-construction termite spraying treats the soil and foundation before concrete is poured, forming a barrier in the ground itself. Post-construction treatment targets termite routes inside a finished structure, and the method varies with the location and extent of the infestation. The first service is available as a standalone option in the list below.

Yes, termite control in a shared building is more complex than in a standalone home, because termites move through soil, columns and shared walls. Access to more than one floor or unit is often needed for an effective treatment, and that is one of the things we discuss when you call.

Preparation varies with the type and location of treatment, and we will tell you exactly what is needed when we agree the time. In general it helps to empty wooden cupboards, move heavy furniture away from targeted areas, and ensure free access to corners, floors and walls that border the ground.

A single round of termiticide spraying can be enough for a limited surface infestation, but large colonies in the soil or inside the structure may need more than one session or an additional method. We assess the situation with you and agree what suits your case when you call.

A new building is not safe from termites if the soil was not treated before the foundation was laid. Termites are present soil and seek out moisture, and any leak or damp patch near the foundation attracts them quickly. Pre-construction treatment is the first barrier, and it is available as a standalone service in the list below.

If you see new mud tubes or fresh damage, call us and describe where they are and when you first noticed them. A return can mean the moisture source was not addressed or part of the route was not covered in the first treatment, and that needs a careful look to find the new entry point before anything else is done.
