Termite Management
Termites are silent destroyers that can cause extensive damage to homes, offices, and commercial buildings if left unchecked. At Mozzies Pest Control, we provide a comprehensive Termite Management Programme designed to detect, prevent, and treat termite infestations effectively.
What Are Termites?
Termites, often called “white ants,” live in colonies and feed on wood and other cellulose materials. They can be categorized into:
- Drywood Termites: Infest dry timber, furniture, and structural wood, without needing soil contact.
- Dampwood Termites: Thrive in moist, decaying wood, often around plumbing leaks or damp areas.
- Subterranean Termites: Live underground and build mud tubes to access food, causing extensive structural damage if untreated.
Understanding termite behavior helps with early detection and effective treatment.
Where Do Termites Come From?
- Subterranean termites: Enter from underground nests, attracted by moisture and wood.
- Drywood termites: Can be transported via infested furniture or timber.
- Cracks in foundations, poorly ventilated areas, and plumbing entry points provide easy access for colonies.
Termite Baiting (Above/Underground)
- Bait stations are strategically placed to attract termites, which then carry poison back to the colony.
- Environmentally friendly and highly effective for active infestations.
- Provides lasting colony elimination over time.
Preventive Measures
- Repair leaks, remove dead wood, and seal cracks in wood structures.
- Regular inspections to detect early infestations.
- Use metal storage racks and screens to reduce termite access.
