What are Termites?
White Ants are what Termites are commonly referred as in Australia. They are an insect and descended from a cockroach like ancestor.
Over 100 million dollars of damage is caused by termites to Australian property each year. With over 350 difference species of termites living within Australia there is a real risk to your property if termites are not addressed.
3 Facts about Termites
- Ecologically speaking termites are a beneficial insects, however they are a serious issue for home and property owners.
- The worker and soldier termites are almost always blind.
- Termite soldiers will tap warning signals to the colony when they detect a threat.
What Termites Can Do
1 in 5 houses have or have had a termite infestation and/or damage. It is important to note that termites will eat any timber or wood that is inside your home.
Termites are capable of eating 5 grams of wood every day and they don’t stop eating, consuming wood 24 hours a day.
Finding the Queen when removing termites from a property is very important as a single colony is able to destroy a home. Living up to 25 years and producing 1000 eggs per day makes them able to cause large amounts of damage to a home over a relatively short period of time.
7 Signs Termites Are In Your Property
- Head banging, a quiet clicking sound coming from your walls.
- Flying termites, mostly seen at night ‘Swarmers’ or flying bugs can be a sign that you have termites.
- Ants or termites, ants can be confused with termites, look at the waist section as it is a lot thicker in a termite than that of an ant.
- Hollow sounding timber, termites will often consume wood from the inside out, when knocking or tapping in the area will often sound hollow or papery.
- Tight fitting doors or hard to open windows. This can be a sign of termites as the moisture termites produce when eating and tunnelling through a door and window frame can cause the wood to warp out of shape.
- Tunnels in the Wood, often difficult to see from the outside but if you see them in a piece of broken timber near or in your house it can be a sign that there may termites in the property.
- Termite droppings, one of the key signs of termites. In particular drywood termites the droppings are called frass. It has a dark powdery appearance and will be located around the infestation.

Great responsive communications, no fuss and efficient work. Could see the generous use of the spray. Was late but still came out all the way. Still yet to see the effects as some cockroaches still out and about.

Ashfield and it’s surrounding Inner West council area is well known for termite infestations
Ashfield’s population is quite diverse. It has a relatively high urban density for Australia, with the majority of the area’s residences consisting of post-war low-rise flats (apartment complexes) and Federation-era detached houses. Among these are a handful of majestic Victorian structures that provide a glimpse into Ashfield’s rich cultural legacy. The Wangal people lived in the region that is today known as Ashfield before Europeans arrived. Wangal region was said to be centred on modern-day Concord and extending east to the Long Cove Creek swampland (now known as Hawthorne Canal). At the time, the terrain was highly forested, with large eucalyptus trees covering the upper hills and a variety of marshy trees near Iron Cove Creek.
Using the right equipment our 10 years of experience and local knowledge of Ashfield our team can detect termites within your property.
We recommend an annual termite inspection as this can catch termite infestations and we can identify the best ways to minimise the risks.
The small investment in an inspection can save hundreds of thousands in damages and lost property value. You get insurance to protect against damage to your home from storms, fire, etc but termite damage is generally not covered well in our experience, or at all.
An inspection is like getting insurance for this type of damage and with termites relentlessly popping up in new locations, it is well worth it.
Types of Inspections we provide:
- Pre-purchase inspections when buying a new Ashfield property. This report provides a visual assessment of the condition of a property that will locate existing defects or areas of concern.The subterranean termite activity and any signs of moisture issues will be assessed by our licensed professionals.
- Pre-construction inspections and treatments, an important inspection to perform before the construction/slab has commenced.
- Home and property termite inspection if you suspect your home has termites.
Termite Treatment for Ashfield
At Certified Pest Management we use effective methods to ensure the fastest and most effective eradication of a termite infestation.
Baiting for Termites
This process uses a specialised baiting system that will focus on eradicating any existing termites on the property.
The process involves placing termite tasty pieces of timber that are then placed through out the property.
Once we have located where the termites have infested we are then able to eradicate the infestation.
The baits are ensured to not be harmful to favourable insects, plants or humans, by not utilising any toxic compounds.
This method has been shown to work very well for complex buildings with multiple stories and concrete floors.
Termite Barriers for Ashfield
One of the best strategies of termite treatment is to keep termites away from the property in the first place. This is achieved by creating a barrier with a special repellent compound.
Barriers for Termites
By applying a chemical treatment around either a specific part or a full perimeter around the property we can create a barrier between the property and the termites.
By applying a chemical barrier the property is better protected against a termite infestation.
Future damage can be prevented when this barrier has been applied to the property.
This method is shown to be very effective for general households.
6 Termite Prevention Methods for Ashfield Properties
- Drips, Leaks & Pipes By fixing any leaking pipes or inadequate draining will help prevent attracting termites, as they love moisture and wood.
- Shrubs & Garden Ensuring that your garden beds are clear of building edges and small gaps left between bricks to enable water to drain out.This increases the distance termites will have to travel to enter the property.
- Keep Areas Clear Areas under the home should be kept clear as to not reduce ventilation and give pests such as termites an initial place to infest.
- Move Wood Ensuring that any wood that is stored outside is not in close contact with the ground and is not close to the home.
- Pre-Construction A pre-construction spray will ensure that there is a barrier from termites from the start of the construction process.
- Regular Check-Ins By getting professional pest inspections on a regular basis will reduce your risk of a severe termite infestation as it will be able to be detected and treated as soon as possible.It is recommend to have an inspection at least once a year.
