Termite Destruction and How to Detect Them

Termite infestations have signs that can be detected by our professional Termite Inspection Brisbane team. The signs include:

  • Wooden structures become hollow due to the destroying inside of them.
  • Mud shelters are built by termites for protection.
  • Cracks in the paint of plaster due to eating the nearby timber.
  • Damaging the skirting boards, doors, or windows easily by applying minor pressure.
  • Unexplained power failures in your property.

The age of your property plays a crucial role in determining the possibility of having a termite infestation. Once you notice a termite infestation or any of its signs, you should contact our termite control Brisbane team immediately to handle the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If I Found or Suspected That I Have Termites?

Finding out that there is a termite infestation at your property can be unsettling. It is one of the worst-case scenarios for both business owners and homeowners since termites are famous for their ability to cause costly damages to properties.

When people discover that they have termite problems, they worry about the severity of the damages and the cost of repairs more than worrying about eradicating the termite infestation.

The immediate action that people need to take when they suspect that they have a termite infestation is to start thinking about how to get rid of the infestation. Contact our Termite Inspection Brisbane team to determine whether you really have a termite infestation or not. If there is termite activity, the next step is to get your property treated.

How Will I Know If I Have Termites or Not?

Home and business owners should be aware of the great risk of termite infestations to their properties, especially because the damages caused by termites are not covered by home insurance policies in Australia. According to statistics, your property is more likely to be damaged by termites than other things like fires or tornadoes.

Termite damage repairs are expensive, and they cost millions annually just to get the properties fixed. In Australia, every property is considered at risk of termite damages.

The best way to minimize the cost of repairs is to detect termites as early as possible. The Local Guys – Termite Inspection Brisbane Team can differentiate between the different types of termites and know how each type of them operates. After inspecting your place, we will offer you the best options not only to eradicate them but also to prevent any future termite infestations.

The are several signs that your property has these unwanted pests including:

  • Swarmers (Flying Termites)

Swarmers are one of the earliest signs of having a termite infestation. They are winged termites and usually, they emerge from nests in groups.
Swarmers include males and females. They leave nests and try to find the perfect mate to start a new colony.

Some termite species swarm at night and head to the light sources while others swarms in daylight. Notice that all dry wood termites usually swarm after rain at certain times of the year.

  • Discarded Wings

Discarded wings left behind are one of the most common signs of termite infestations. When swarmers take their first flight, they shed their wings. Therefore, if you have a termite problem, these discarded wings can be found around or inside your property.

  • Hollow or Blistering Wood

Hollow or blistering wood is another common sign of termite infestations. Termites find their way inside your wooden structures, and they start eating from the middle out. They leave the outer layer of timber or even just the paint in severe cases.
If you suspect that you have a termite infestation, tap on the wood in the infected areas. If it sounds hollow, it is because either part or all of the timber inside has been consumed by termites.
Cracks can also be a sign of termite infestations. If there are unexplained cracks on your walls, it may be an indication that there is an active termite infestation eating the cellulose found in timber within your wooden walls.

Some people think that wooden structures located close to the ground level are at risk of termite damage. The fact is all your wooden structures are at the same risk including wooden ceilings, beams, and any other wooden structure in your property. Therefore, it may be necessary to check for cracks on ceilings and cornices as well.

Furthermore, termites can reach your flooring and baseboards and cause severe damages to them. Usually, the affected areas of flooring blister and sag. Therefore, it may be necessary to check underneath the flooring to uncover the termite infestation and check if the floors spring more than they used to.

  • Frass

Frass is one of the sure signs of termites, especially dry wood termites. Frass is the dry wood termite droppings. They are wood-colored, so non-professionals usually confuse them with sawdust.

Our Termite Inspection Brisbane team will look for frass during inspecting your property. Also, this indicator is important in determining the type of infestation at your place. Unlike subterranean termites that use their feces to build tunnels, dry wood termites push feces out of where they live and leave them near the entry points to their nests.

  • Mud Tubes

Mud tubes are the most common sign of subterranean termite infestations. Termites use mud tubes to travel between the soil, where they nest, and the food sources. They are usually found close to the structures near the foundation of your property.

Subterranean termites build mud tubes for protection and moisture. They use soil and termite droppings to build them. Therefore, when you eliminate moisture and remove food sources such as mulch and wood chips away from your property, it will be less attractive to termites.

  • Tight Fitting Doors and Stiff Windows

Having hard-to-open windows and warped doors either mean that you have termites, or the weather is hot and damp. If you have a termite infestation, they will produce moisture while consuming doors and window frames, which causes the wood to wrap and makes it hard to open windows and doors.

  • Noises

Another sign of having a termite infestation is hearing clicking, headbanging, or chewing sounds coming from the walls. When they sense danger, soldier termites start banging their head against the wood to warn other termites. Termites are highly sensitive and detect the slightest vibrations and noises. When they sense that they are in danger, they just relocate their nests to other locations, which means that the problem is not over.

Also, worker termites make noises while earing your wooden structures. Just listen carefully and you can hear termites eating if you put your ear close to the infested wood.

What Are the Exact Steps I Should Take to Eliminate Termites and Protect My Home Against Future Infestations?

  • Schedule a Professional Termite Inspection

Some signs of termite infestations can be detected by homeowners such as mud tubes, swarmers, and damaged wood. Once you notice any of these signs, the faster you contact our Termite Inspection Brisbane team, the better the results will be.

Keep in mind that seeing these signs does not necessarily mean that there is a termite activity at your property. Even after eradicating the termite infestation, mud tubes can remain.
Also, swarmers maybe just out there looking for a new place to start a colony, but it does not necessarily mean that your home is infested.
In addition, many factors may cause damages to your wooden structures.

Therefore, it is necessary to contact our Termite Inspection Brisbane team and schedule an appointment before worrying too much about having a termite infestation.

  • Professional Termite Treatment

If our Termite Inspection Brisbane technicians confirmed that your property is infested, it is time to have it professionally treated.
Termites are one of the most difficult pests to eradicate because they are usually hidden in areas that are difficult to reach and can get into inside your walls.

DIY treatments for termites are not effective in almost all cases because it is difficult to access all the infested areas without the proper equipment, techniques, knowledge about termites, and experience.

Our Termite Treatment Brisbane team has the proper experience and knowledge to handle the situation. Our technicians use the best products, products, and equipment to eradicate termite infestations.

The Local Guys is a top-notch pest control company. We guarantee our work and trust our practices.

  • Protect Your Property Against Future Infestations

Once your property is termite-free again after treating the termite infestation, you will feel relieved. To keep it that way, certain preventative steps should be taken. First of all, you need to take a good look at the overall condition of your property. Start with asking yourself, how did termites find their way into your property? Determine the things that may put your property at a high risk of future termite infestations.

For example, if your property has water problems such as plumping leakages, it is at high risk of future termite infestations. Also, storing firewood close to the foundations of your property makes it attractive for termites seeking food sources. Home maintenance repairs are essential and play a huge role in determining whether your property will be vulnerable to termites or not.

Our Termite Treatment Brisbane services include providing our clients with a full-detailed report about the findings at their places, the treatment plan, and our recommendations to keep their properties termite-free and protect them against any future termite infestations. These recommendations include certain home repairs and other actions that can help prevent termites from invading your home again.

I Have Just Been Notified There Have Been Termites Found at a Nearby Property on My Stress. What Should I Do?

If your neighbors are dealing with termite infestations, it means that your property is at high risk of termite infestations. The risk is greater than usual since the infestation already exists in your neighborhood.

Termite colonies release swarmers, which are winged termites, to start new colonies at new places. Having a nearby infestation means that swarmers can fly to your property easily, especially if it has favorable conditions for termites to live and breed. Once a couple of termites (male and female) reach your property, they will start producing more termites, which will start eating your wooden structures from the inside out.

If more than one neighbor of yours developed a termite infestation, it means that the conditions and climate in your neighborhood attract termites and help them to survive. In other words, your property has what termites need to survive.

Termites in the neighborhood mean that your property must be inspected and protected professionally.

Once you discover that your neighbor’s property has a termite infestation, it is crucial to contact The Local Guys – Termite Inspection Brisbane team immediately. Our professional Termite Inspection Brisbane technicians will provide you with all the information about your property condition. Our inspection process will determine whether you have an active termite infestation or not if any signs of termite activity exist in your place and the type of termites.

Furthermore, the report will include the damages caused by the termites, the treatment plan, our recommendations to get the damages repaired, and the necessary steps that should be taken to prevent any future infestations.

The best-case scenario is that your place is termite-free and all you need to do is to take the necessary steps to prevent the termites that your neighbor’s properties have from invading yours as well.

Finding out that your neighbors have termite infestations at their homes can be very stressful. Termites are highly destructive and can cause expensive damages. Also, they are very difficult to eradicate. Scheduling a professional termite inspection with The Local Guys – Termite Treatment Brisbane team will lower the chances of developing a termite infestation at your place. Taking preventative steps against termites is less expensive and more effective than trying to solve the problem on your own and easier than waiting for them to establish colonies and then deciding to deal with them.

What Is Involved in a Termite Inspection?

During the inspection process, our Termite Inspection Brisbane team will spend about 2 hours thoroughly checking your entire property. This time frame is not fixed and varies depending on many factors such as the size of your property and the severity of the infestation. Our technicians will inspect the interior and exterior areas of your property looking for the visible and invisible signs of termite activity such as droppings, mud tubes, wings, and damaged wood.

The inspection process includes checking baseboards, the interior and exterior walls, windows and their frames, crawl spaces, doors and their frames, closets, and cabinets. The technicians will need access to your entire property including bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, the garage, and the attic. Our experts know where to look and what to look for. For example, they will pay special attention to bathrooms and kitchens because subterranean termites usually love areas where plumbing penetrates your foundations to gain access to your property.

Outside your property, our experts will check the exteriors walls and examine the foundations. They pay special attention to wood damages and mud tubes while examining the foundation of your property. After completing these steps, they will move to the surroundings and yard to see if there are signs of termite activity or not.

I Have a Steel Frame Home. Do I Still Need to Worry about Termites?

Most people think that steel frame homes prevent termite infestations, which is not true. Termites have the ability to travel through plaster and along with metal.

All properties have wooden structures. All they need is access to your home. After that, termites will do their best to reach all the wooden structures and infest them. This includes cabinets, ceilings, skirting boards, door frames, and wooden furniture.

As long as your home has the perfect conditions for termite infestations, it is at risk even if it is a steel frame home.

How Often Should I Have My Home Inspected for Termites?

All homes, whether they are new or old, should be inspected regularly. Even if the home is brand-new, it is still at risk of experiencing termite infestations. Our Termite Inspection Brisbane team will determine the frequency of inspections based on many factors such as the overall condition of your property and the type of termites that may invade your home. Of course, older homes are at higher risk of termites, which makes it more necessary not only to stay aware of the termite signs but also to get our Termite inspection team of professional technicians to inspect your place.

Do Home Insurance Policies Cover Termite Damage?

Most people think that their home insurance policies cover termite damages. However, this is not true. Home insurance does not cover termite damages. That is why it is necessary to inspect your home regularly and get it treated as early as possible if there is a termite infestation.

What Attracts Termite Activity?

Many factors attract termites. But the number one reason that contributes to termite activity is that your home includes food and water sources. The perfect conditions for termites to thrive include:

  • Properties built with timber framing.
  • Timbers in the yard of your property such as old tree stumps, timber play equipment, firewood, timber fencing, etc.
  • Moisture caused by water leaks and poor drainage.

Is Your Termite Treatment Safe for My Children, Pets, and Property?

Yes, our termite treatment products and techniques are 100% safe. Our client’s safety is our first and most important priority. We get our products from the best suppliers, and they are less toxic than most household items in your home.
