TERMITE INSPECTIONS
Termites are among the most destructive pests in the world and will cause significant structural damage to your property if left untreated. Whether you suspect your property has termites or simply if it’s been more than 12 months since your last pest control treatment, it’s important to organise a visit from your local pest control company. A termite inspection service with Clubby’s Pest Control is designed to confirm if you have a termite problem and its severity along with assisting in actioning the necessary steps to protect your property.
Why are Termite Inspections Important?
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can cause significant damage to your property before you even know they are there. These pests feed on wood and other cellulose materials, such as paper, books, and insulation. They can however damage non-cellulose materials, like plastic and metal in order to reach their food source.
If left untreated, termites can cause severe structural damage to your home or business, which can be costly to repair. They can weaken the foundation of your building, damage walls and ceilings, and destroy furniture and personal belongings. In some cases, termite infestations can lead to the collapse of a building, posing a severe risk to the occupants’ safety.
How do I know if I need Termite Control?
It is essential to know the signs of termite infestation so that you can identify their presence as early as possible to prevent damage. Some common signs of termite infestation include:
Wood Damage: Termites feed on wood from the inside out, leaving behind a honeycomb-like pattern. If you notice wood damage, such as hollowed-out wood or peeling paint, it could be a sign of termite activity.
Mud Tubes: Termites build mud tubes as a means of travel between their nests and their food source. These tubes are typically found along the foundation of your building or in crawl spaces.
Clicking Sounds: Some species of termites make a clicking sound when they are disturbed. If you hear clicking sounds coming from the walls or ceilings, it could be a sign of termite activity.
Discarded Wings: When termites swarm, they shed their wings. If you find discarded wings around your home, it could be a sign of termite activity.
A termite inspection is a critical step in protecting your property from termite infestations. Our professional termite inspection service involves a thorough examination of your property to identify any signs of termite activity. Our inspectors are trained to look for the common signs of termite infestation and identify areas of your property that are at risk of termite damage.
During the inspection, we look for those standard visible signs of termite activity, like mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage. We also use specialized tools, such as dongers and moisture meters to identify infestations in areas of your property that may be at risk yet out of sight.
