Termite Treatment

You may not always see termites at your property but should conclude that there is an infestation through the following signs:

• Damage or hollowing are detected on your wooden furniture or timber products. Termites infest both softwood and hardwood alike.
• Do you see any damage to your stored items, including books, papers, cardboard boxes, and more? If yes, it could be due to termite or white ant attacks.
• In many cases, you may notice mud or dirt being deposited in the gaps of skirting or door jambs. It is due to the activity of termites or white ants, and you need the service of a professional termite exterminator.
• You may also see a large number of winged insects emerging from the newly developed holes near windows or doors as the first evidence of termite infestation at your property.

• Termites eat wooden furniture and products and make them look bubbling or wrinkled. If you have some wooden furniture with great heritage value, you can’t easily replace it like other timber products.
• Termite bites are not usually harmful to humans; however, they can create itchiness and cause an allergic reaction.
• Termite droppings and nests can create an allergic reaction in people and trigger asthma symptoms.
• Under damp conditions, the decomposition of wooden structures by termites can lead to mould infestation. Importantly, the mould spores in the air can create widespread health issues for the inhabitants.
