What is the best protection for me?
Every property and construction is different. No one treatment can be applied to all properties. Only an experienced technician will be able to work out the best termite protection that should be put in place.
Our technicians will always offer free advice and quotes. This is invaluable information to our clients and will help them to work out the best protection to suit their situation.
What is the one thing I should get done to protect my property?
One of the simplest things you do to protect your investment against termites is to have an annual visual termite inspection.
These inspections will look at the property as a whole. Our technicians will comb over the property looking for signs of termites.
Often clients are surprised to find where termites are hiding on their property. It is usually in the last place they would think of, but likely to be the first place the technician will look.
High moisture readings may indicate termites
During a termite inspection our technicians will be looking for high moisture readings. They will be using a special device then takes measurements up to 3cm inside a wall without damaging it.
If high moisture readings are detected the cause will be one of two things.
Firstly it could just be a leaking pipe which can be easily fixed by a plumber. It is important to get these leaks fixed as water is exactly what termites need to survive.
Secondly it could indicate termites. If the technician thinks it maybe termites, he may recommend a more invasive inspection. This may involve cutting or poking of holes into areas of concern.
Either way if high moisture readings are found, action must be taken. Many Adelaide homes have been saved from termite attack by simply having an annual inspection performed.
