Understanding Termite Activity
Understanding how termites behave is essential to protecting your home from costly infestations. Termites are highly organised, social insects that live in large colonies. Subterranean termites, the most destructive species in Australia, can remain completely hidden while tunnelling through soil to access your home.
Once inside, worker termites feed on timber and other cellulose-rich materials, often causing extensive damage before you even realise they’re there.
Regular inspections are essential for early detection. By identifying signs such as mud tubes or timber damage early, you can avoid major structural issues. Different termite species behave differently, so identifying the species is key to choosing the right treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control
What should I do if I find termites in my home?
Do not spray them with fly spray or disturb them. Contact Everest Pest Control immediately on (02) 9948 5202 so we can identify the species and assess the extent of the damage. Spraying may cause termites to retreat and hide deeper in your home, making them harder to locate and eliminate.
Are your termite inspections licensed and insured?
Yes. All of our termite inspections are carried out by fully licensed and insured professionals. Our team holds the appropriate Timber Pest Management (PMT TP) licences and complies with Australian Standards.
What is a Visual Termite Inspection (VTI)?
A VTI is a detailed visual check of your property by a qualified inspector to identify any signs of termite activity or damage. After the inspection, you’ll receive a written report outlining findings and recommendations.
Do I need a termite inspection before buying a home?
Absolutely. A Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) is essential to uncover any hidden termite activity or timber damage that could affect the value and safety of the property. It also gives you peace of mind before committing to a purchase.
How often should I have my property inspected for termites?
We recommend annual termite inspections to detect early signs of activity and protect your home. Homes in high-risk areas, like the Northern Beaches and North Shore, may benefit from more frequent checks.
What termite treatments do you offer?
We offer baiting systems, chemical barriers, drill-and-inject treatments, and full preventative strategies. All treatments are tailored to your property and the species of termite identified.
Are preventative termite measures worth it if I’ve never had termites?
Yes. Many homes are classified as high-risk due to construction type, location, or nearby activity. Preventative measures can help avoid costly damage down the track, especially if your property has timber elements.
