Frequently Asked Questions
- Why are subterranean termites so destructive?
- Subterranean termites live in massive underground colonies that can contain millions of individuals. They build hidden mud tubes to reach timber in your home and can cause severe structural damage before being detected. Regular inspections are the best defence.
- How do I know if I have subterranean termites?
- Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding timber, buckling paint, and swarms of winged termites in spring. However, subterranean termites often work hidden from view, which is why annual professional inspections are essential.
- What is the best treatment for subterranean termites?
- The best approach combines a chemical soil barrier around your property with a colony baiting system. The barrier prevents new entry while the baiting system eliminates the existing colony. Your technician will recommend the best combination for your specific situation.
