You can save a lot of repair costs if you detect termites on time. Be on the lookout for these warning signs:
These are the most common termites found in Australia. These types of termites build their nests underground as they live in a moist environment most of the time. These termites are known for their destructive nature and can be responsible for damaging the wooden structure of your home. It is very difficult to detect them. Only professionals can detect and remove them.
These types of termites are normally found in drywood inside your home. These termites don’t need any soil to survive; they easily live in wood with low moisture content. A professional pest control service is required to get rid of them.
Dampwood termites infest decayed wood only. These types of termites are responsible for infesting trees, poles, and fences. This species loves to live in living trees as well as in dead trees. The professionals of Auzzie Pest Control know the best method to get rid of them.
Termites are not ants at all! Termites are a type of insect that is small, lives in colonies, and feeds on cellulose. This is the reason they are normally found in timber and wood products. Sometimes they look like pale ants as they are more related to cockroaches. In Australia, termite is a major problem. They are a significant threat to homes and other structures.
Termites are very common in Perth and Brisbane because of the climate. The warm, humid climate is ideal for the termite's activity and breeding. They are active year-round. This is the reason regular inspection is essential to keep an eye on them.
Termites are voracious eaters. They can eat 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These termites can easily cause structural damage to a home in a very short period. That is why regular inspection is very necessary to prevent their infestation.

Yes, even new houses can be susceptible to termite attacks. Termites can travel up to 100 meters to find food sources. Therefore, a neighbor's termite situation does not guarantee your home's safety. So if you think you are completely safe from them, then you are wrong.
The termites and ants have similar looks. But there are very small differences between them. Such as :
The first thing is do not disturb them. Do not use any kind of chemical spray on them or poke them. Don't touch their mud trails. Disturbing them will cause them to retreat, making them harder for our technicians to locate and treat effectively.
Instead
If you find a severe infestation, then don't panic. Leave them alone. Don't touch or use anything on them. Contact the professionals of Auzzie pest control immediately. We will visit your place to assess the situation.
Our comprehensive termite inspections adhere to Australian Standards (AS 3660.2) and involve a thorough visual examination of all accessible areas of your property, both inside and out. This includes:
Interiors: We examine timber cupboards, trims, flooring, skirting, doors, and door jambs. We have special equipment to measure moisture content and detect hidden activity.
Roof void: We inspect timber beams, battens, eaves, rafters, and other structures to find active termites. We inspect moisture-affected areas first.
Sub-floor: We examine joists, stored timbers, timber flooring, etc..
Exterior: We examine foundation walls, external fences, garden landscapes, suspect trees, and stumps. We inspect within 50 meters of the property boundaries (or to the boundaries).
We have advanced tools to detect the termites' movement and moisture behind walls. We use Termatrac T3i (a 3-in-1 inspection tool with microwave, moisture, and thermal sensors). With this tool, we can detect the activity of termites even if no visible signs are present.
The Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends a professional termite inspection at least every 12 months. Annual inspections are essential for maintaining termite issues in your home. It is recommended that if you are living in high-risk areas or you have a history of termite inspection, then you should go for frequent inspections, such as every 3 to 6 months.

The basic visual inspection in Brisbane starts from $260 - $370, whereas thermal imaging inspections are from $420 - $700. The basic visual inspection in Perth ranges from $220 - $320, and thermal imaging inspections can be $350 - $580. However, pre-purchase inspections have higher costs.
Termite Inspection:
The purpose of the inspection is to detect the presence of termites. The experts assess the risk of infestation and identify conducive conditions. It's like a health checkup for your home.
Termite Treatment:
This is the process in which our team eliminates the active termite infestation and installs preventive barriers to protect your property from future attacks. In the treatment, we use chemical barriers, baiting systems, or sometimes a combination of methods.
Absolutely yes. Termite barriers are highly effective, but they don't provide 100% protection. Regular annual inspections are very necessary to ensure that the barriers remain intact and effective. With this inspection, we can catch any new activity of termites as well.
