Here are the 3 truths about termites

Pest Control Service in Canberra

Many people do the wrong things when it comes to discovering termites.

  • Throw petrol over the termites.
  • Keep on renovating even after discovering termites
  • Find termites in trees government land and don’t bother to have an inspection.

Killing termites is a job for the experts who can identify the species and apply termiticides that will take it back to the nest by a transfer system.

Petrol or aerosols will not kill the nest!

Disturbing termites will have them retract and they can appear in the same area or another area.

Any renovation should STOP immediately until inspected.

Termites can travel approximately 30 metres from the nest and spreading a spider web fashion underground, looking for entry points to eat the timber.
