Living on the Sunshine Coast provides residents with amazing weather all throughout the year. The typically pleasant weather, even in the winter, is also an ideal place for many types of insects, including a number of species of termites.
While not all termites cause damage to homes on the Sunshine Coast, the subterranean, dampwood, and drywood termites can be a problem. Hiring the right professionals to provide termite treatment that is customized to your home is the best way to avoid significant damage.
Schedule Annual Termite Inspections
Work with a professional pest control service and schedule annual termite inspections for the property. Use a service that follows Australian Standards for the inspection for the most accurate detection of termite activity.
Watch for Signs of Termites
Ask the termite inspector for information on what to watch for to detect any activity. It is also a good idea to know where termites may live outside the house. These areas include in old wood, logs, or even in wood mulch used in flower beds.
Do Not Disturb Termite Areas
When termites are noted on the property, do not try a do-it-yourself termite treatment. This is will not eliminate the colony and is likely to result in the colony moving, making it more difficult to detect and treat.
Hire Professionals for Termite Treatment
Professional pest control companies create a custom approach to treatment that is based on the species of termite, your home, and the most effective treatment options. Professionals also offer long-lasting termite control options that protect your property for years to come.
