Termite Pest Control Sydney

Termites, also known as white ants, are an insect found across Australia and if you have ever had any experience with them or heard stories from friends, you’ll know they can cause nightmares for homeowners. Their small size and secretive behavior can make them almost undetectable until it’s too late and thousands of damage has been caused.

Termite Species in Sydney

Subterranean termites are the main termite category that causes damage to wooden structures and the most commonly found species to cause property damage in the Sydney area are Nasutitermes termites, Schedorhinotermes termites and Coptotermes acinaciformis termites. Whilst the former live in nests with a hardened outer shell above ground or on a tree, the latter two species operate in a multitude of areas with a constant source of food and moisture and are significantly more destructive. This leads termites to often be found at the base of tree trunks, near patios, behind retaining walls and floors or underneath houses. Drainage problems are a common catalyst as this creates a moist environment and increases the chance of a colony starting.

Termites in Sydney reproduce by swarming three to four times a year, usually during summer months so this is when you should be most alert. Look out for insects that look like yellow flying ants as these are the caste that will start a new colony.

Termite Baiting

Termite baiting is one of the most common methods of termite pest control. In Sydney, termite baiting can be done by contacting a pest control technician who will inspect your property and set up baits, however, yearly check-ups and exterminating a colony can be quite costly.

If you want to take control of monitoring yourself, start by Carrying Out An Inspection Like A Professional to search your property for signs of termite activity. Once you’ve completed the inspection, you can continue your efforts by installing termite bait stations around the perimeter of your home. It’s a simple and affordable alternative and most importantly effective. If you’ve already found an active termite colony behind a wall or along a door frame, you can apply bait directly onto that area.
