Termites, also known as white ants, are notorious for their almost insatiable appetite for wood.
They can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, including beams, floors, and even furniture, leading to costly repairs. In Australia, where termite activity is particularly prevalent due to the warm and humid climate, vigilance against these pests is essential.
At Elite Pest Management, we understand the unique challenges termites present to homeowners and businesses. Our expert team is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and proven methods to detect and eliminate termite infestations effectively. From comprehensive inspections to targeted treatments, we tailor our solutions to your specific needs, ensuring thorough protection against these relentless pests.
In Australia, termites pose a significant danger to homes, with a staggering 30% being affected. The estimated cost of termite damage exceeds $700 million dollars.
Termites can infiltrate your home through various entry points such as the subfloor area, concrete slab edge, construction joints in the slab, and attached timber structures. These pests are constantly searching for food and may find their way inside using any of these routes.
Concrete flooring on ground-level buildings has the highest incidence of long-term termite infestation. These pesky pests are particularly devastating to wood, as they consume cellulose, starches, and sugars found within it.
This constant feeding inevitably results in rapid destruction. Prevention is crucial when it comes to termites, and our technicians not only detect their presence but also identify any maintenance needs that may reduce the risk of infestation. Some examples include addressing drainage issues, fixing leaking showers, improving subfloor ventilation, repairing wood rot, and preventing moisture and mould buildup. If left unchecked, termites can cause extensive damage in a short span of time, costing homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs.
