Knowledge is your first line of defence against these unwelcome intruders. Here are the key warning signs to be vigilant about:
Termite excreta, also known as “frass”, often pile up in corners and resemble sawdust. Spotting a small hole nearby in the wood confirms their presence.
Be on the lookout for protective mud tubes, primarily in your property’s foundation and basement areas. These tubes, built by termites as safe passages from their nest to food sources, can help halt further termite damage when detected early.
Sagging doors or floors could indicate termite activity. Termites devour cellulose in wood, leading to structural damage and weakened support.
Cracks appearing around wooden structures in plaster or paint could be due to termite activity. As termites burrow through wood, they create pressure that leads to surface cracks and deterioration.
Look for dry mud deposits in door joints and window architraves. These mud trails left by termites while foraging for food, can signal termite activity.
Termites are notorious for gnawing through wooden parts of a property like skirting boards, door frames, and architraves. Check these areas for damage signs or hollowed-out wood.
If you spot soil-like materials around power outlets or are experiencing unexplained power failures, termites might be the cause. They can damage electrical wiring, posing a potential fire risk.
Spotting unfamiliar insects, particularly those resembling pale ants, is a significant indicator. Discarded wings or dead ants should be presented to a termite specialist for identification.

Termites can be a severe problem in homes. Signs of termite infestation include dark corners, damp walls, mud tubes, and hollow-sounding wooden floors. Look for tiny spores or particles of wood near baseboards or electrical switches. If you suspect a termite infestation, immediately contact a professional pest control service to prevent further damage.
Hiring a professional pest control company is crucial to eliminate termites and prevent future infestations. Our experts will thoroughly inspect your property to assess the type of termites and the severity of the infestation. They’ll develop a customized treatment plan to eliminate termites based on their findings. Our professional and reliable pest control services offer a long-term solution to your termite problems.
Professional termite treatments typically take one to two days to show results. Termites die upon contact with the applied solution. For severe infestations, treatment may take longer to affect the entire colony. Home remedies often require more time for results and may not be effective against high infestation levels.
The duration of termite treatment varies based on the method used. Liquid treatments can last up to 5 years, while bait stations typically require yearly maintenance. For long-lasting protection, choose a reputable pest control company. While professional treatments may have a higher initial cost, they can save you time and money in the long run by preventing future infestations.
A trench barrier can be installed to prevent termites from entering your home. This involves digging a trench around the perimeter of your property, treating the soil with termiticide, and backfilling it. To create a complete barrier, concrete tiles should be cut and placed along exterior walls and around driveways, walkways, patios, and entrances.
To prevent and eliminate termites, avoid excessive moisture, protect wooden furniture with aloe vera gel or a high-quality varnish, and dispose of unused wooden items. Professional pest control services can provide effective treatments and long-term solutions. While home remedies like vinegar and lemon juice may offer temporary relief, expert advice is essential for severe infestations.
Covering the holes with a wood hardener for minor termite infestations can be a temporary solution. However, it’s essential to remove any rotten wood first. If the damage is extensive, professional treatment and potential wood replacement may be necessary.
The key to the suitability of any termiticide in a wet environment is the propensity to leach through a soil profile upon a wetting event. The main measure for ability to leach is the product’s water solubility. Termidor has very low water solubility and therefore will not leach through the soil. Termidor tightly binds to organic matter in soil, which also limits its movement. All of these physical and chemical characteristics contribute to Termidor remaining active in the treated zones close to the foundations of the structure for as long as the soil and foundations have not been compromised or the normal time span for degradation has elapsed.
This includes soils that have been located in flooded areas. As an example, whilst conducting long-term field trials throughout Australia, a Townsville site suffered a major flood which completely submerged the Termidor treated plots for a lengthy period. It can be seen from the graph below that there was no effect on the amount of Termidor present in the soil.
Depending on their findings, they will suggest an appropriate termite removal plan that will clear your home of termites completely. Pest control treatments carried out by reliable and professional pest control companies can offer a permanent solution to termite issues.
As stated above, Termidor binds strongly to the soil particles and will not leach through the soil profile. However, this is based on soil that is not saturated at the time of treatment. If the soil is saturated, the Termidor (and any other termiticide) will remain in the water phase with little chance to bind to organic matter in the soil profile. Therefore the soil needs time to dry out enough so that the soil profile is not in a saturated state. This drying time depends on the type of soil, site drainage and the weather conditions after the original wetting event. Your Accredited Termidor Applicator is in the best position to answer this question.
This depends on a number of factors. Your Accredited Termidor Applicator is in the best position to determine this via a thorough inspection and written report. As a guide, Termidor should be used to re-establish the treated zones when:
After receiving the inspection and written report it can be a little confusing with an overload of information. It is important that you sit down and discuss the report with your Accredited Termidor Applicator to understand the recommendations (why they are important), agree on a plan to carry out the recommendations and review the success after implementing the recommendations. Following this advice is very important, as it will affect the quality of the treatment and may also affect any warranty given by the pest manager.
The termite threat in areas that have suffered excessive rain events may actually increase. Termites increase their population based on a number of factors including access to moisture and food sources. Obviously after heavy sustained rainfall, the soil will hold moisture for a long period of time which the termites will enjoy. Added to this is the increase in building timber and tree debris left behind after the water recedes.
Quite often this is buried in land fill or stacked in a pile which adds a new food source which can sustain a larger termite population. As a consequence, termite pressure will, in time, be more severe. Therefore it is imperative that an Accredited Termidor Applicator performs a thorough inspection of the site to assess the risk and provide recommendations to protect your home from future termite infestations. These should be conducted at least every 12 months into the future.
Over 400,000 homeowners for the past 18 years have been satisfied with Termidor protecting their homes, without a single product failure. That is why it comes with an eight-year warranty and is Australia’s number one trusted brand for termite control. Termidor’s Genuine Transfer Effect™ takes advantage of the social behaviors of termites living and feeding in large colonies where they are in constant contact.
When a single termite comes into contact with a Termidor treated zone, it will unknowingly transfer it back to the colony on its body, infecting termites that have not even been near the Termidor treated zone. This is the ‘Transfer Effect’ and a key reason why no other termiticide performs as well as Termidor.
Termites can’t detect Termidor due to its innovative, non-repellent technology, so they can pick up a lethal dose while foraging in treated areas. As a result, Termidor works quicker and more effectively than other inferior termite control options.
The crucial advantage Termidor has over many other products is that it doesn’t repel termites. Termites are able to detect the older chemicals in the soil and stay away from them. That means the termites remain active and unaffected, still exploring the area and potentially looking for ways into your home. Termites can’t detect the treated zone so, as they continue to forage through the soil and unknowingly come into contact with Termidor.
The Genuine Termidor Transfer Effect™
Because affected termites can’t detect Termidor, they carry it back to the nest on their bodies and pass it on to other termites, hence the devastating Genuine Termidor Transfer Effect. Termidor can control whole termite populations faster than any other treatment, but it is relatively slow-acting in individual termites. This means termites have ample time before dying to spread Termidor to their nest, and the entire colony. The combination of Termidor being undetectable in the soil and its Transfer Effect mean no other termiticide performs as well as Termidor.
