Signs of Termites

Identifying a termites problem early reduces treatment costs and prevents further damage. Look for these warning signs:

  • ! Mud tubes on walls or foundations
  • ! Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
  • ! Discarded wings near windows and doors
  • ! Bubbling or uneven paint on wood surfaces

Why use a professional

DIY products often fail to address the root cause of termites infestations. Professional pest control offers:

  • ✓ Registered and tested chemical products
  • ✓ Species-specific treatment methods
  • ✓ Safety data and re-entry guidance
  • ✓ Guarantee and follow-up visits
  • ✓ SAPCA-compliant methods and chemicals

Treatment Methods for Termites

Professional pest control companies use evidence-based treatment methods. The most effective approach depends on the severity of the infestation and your property type.

  • Soil Chemical Barrier

    Termiticide applied to soil around and under the structure creates a long-lasting chemical barrier. Requires drilling into concrete in some cases.

  • Baiting System

    Bait stations installed around the perimeter attract foraging termites and deliver slow-acting insecticide back to the colony.

  • Direct Wood Treatment

    Boron-based or synthetic pyrethroids injected into or applied to affected timber for direct kill and protection.
