High. Subterranean termites, sometimes called white ants, are a highly destructive timber pest. They can cause major structural damage to all types of buildings.

All About Termite Management use only the most up to date non-repellant termite chemicals. The key here is non-repellant. If termites cannot detect a chemical is present they will not be discouraged. They will therefore continue as if never having been disturbed & will go about with their normal behavior. When termites have been located inside the building. It is necessary for these areas to be treated first before any work can be performed around the external perimeter of the building.

It is important to note that the damage caused by termites & wood borers is significantly different & must be assessed by a licensed professional. Borer damage can be the result of an adult beetle boring into the sapwood &/or the heartwood of a timber. The female will then lay her eggs at the end of these galleries. Another result of borer damage is by the female laying her eggs into cracks or old flight holes. The larvae may then tunnel through the sapwood, moving closer to the surface of the timber to begin its pupil stage.

This type of inspection is typically known as a Pre-Purchase Inspection. The inspection is a much more thorough & involved inspection that covers a lot more than a traditional termite inspection. The last thing you want is to move into your new home only to find that it has no protection from termites or worse still, active termites are inside the building. I have heard so many horror stories over the years where an unsuspecting homebuyer has purchased their dream home without having a Pre-Purchase & Building Inspection performed, only to find that it has been decimated by termites. Worst still the damage may potentially lead into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
