“Prevention is better than a cure!” I bet you’ve heard the term before, but have you ever considered that this philosophy also applies to pest and termite infestations. Termite damage is reported to cost Australians approximately 1 billion dollars annually. These silent destroyers top the list of pests you want to prevent from invading your home. Timber pests have the ability to cause enormous damage to wooden products and can remain undetected for years. The damage they cause isn’t covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies so early termite identification is essential to stopping these pests before they get out of hand.

• MUD TUBES

Subterranean termites maintain their colonies in the ground and build mud-tubes. These mud tubes can be found wherever the food source (wood) meets the ground. These mud tubes are usually around the thickness of a pencil and may contain broken mud particles with faecal materials. mudding tubes are a simple way to confirm termite identification. If you notice this sign, don’t waste any time, make sure to call a leading termite treatment company for immediate help.

• DISCARDED WINGS

After beginning a new colony, the termites shed their wings that can be found near doors, wardrobes, or other wooden products that might sustain them. These wings are shed because termites no longer need to fly after forming a colony. Discarded wings resemble fish scales and this can be an early indicator that you may have a potential termite issue on your hands.

• PINPOINT HOLES ON WOOD

When a colony matures, workers create tiny holes to allow them to exit. Any professional termite treatment company would start the treatment looking for the pinpoint holes that are usually ignored or are not visible to naked eyes. Once these holes are found, technicians can begin working on termite identification and infestation location, in order to determine the best treatment solution.

If you can’t see the signs of termites, it doesn’t mean that they’re not eating your furniture, walls or wallpaper. The best way to protect your home is to get a precautionary termite treatment after every few months or at least get your property inspected annually.  As a leading termite treatment company, Safeguard Pest Control works in variety of settings, offering professional termite treatment services at an affordable price.
