Finding termites for the first time

Finding termites in you home can be a scary thing.

When you initially find them you may be tempted to spray them with fly spray or pull apart the timber and framing, disturbing the termites will cause the them to temporarily vacate the area and move further along the wall. You should leave the termites be as we require access to as many active termites as possible to apply Termidor dust as the first stage of treatment so the less disturbance the better.

If you have disturbed the termites already before reading this, do not panic as we can still deal with the termites. When we complete a inspection we may find further undisturbed areas you may have missed.

When finding termites try not to disturb them, call us for a thorough termite inspection of your home in Brisbane, we will provide you with details on how the termites in your home can be managed. Depending on house design this may involve an initial Stage 1 Termidor dusting followed up by a Stage 2 Termite barrier to your home.

During the treatment process of termites you should not complete any repairs or further invasive inspections until the termites have been removed from your home.
