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.

There are 350 difference species of termites within Australia and a small number of species cause over 100 million dollars of property damage each year.

3 Facts about Termites

  1.  Ecologically speaking termites are a beneficial insects, however they are a serious issue for home and property owners.
  2. The worker and soldier termites are almost always blind.
  3. Termite soldiers will tap warning signals to the colony when they detect a threat.

What Termites Can Do

Termites can eat any timber or wood inside your home which includes wooden floors and furniture. 1 in 5 houses have or have had a termite infestation and/or damage.

Termites eat 24 hours a day and a colony are able to eat 5 grams of wood per day. Left untreated termites can quickly cause thousands of dollars of damage to your Five Dock property.

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.

  1. Head banging, a quiet clicking sound coming from your walls.
  2. Flying termites, mostly seen at night ‘Swarmers’ or flying bugs can be a sign that you have termites.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

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.

We know Five Dock well for potential termite problems.

Five Dock is located near the southern extremity of the Drummoyne peninsula. The first published mention of Five Dock is in The Sydney Gazette on 3 February 1805, when it cites Five Dock Bay. All of the sources cited agree that it was inspired by the contour of the harbour along the Parramatta River. Five Dock’s housing stock is primarily made up of detached houses. Five Dock, like many other inner-west Sydney districts, contains several well-preserved examples of Australian Federation architecture and California Bungalow style homes.The Five Dock retail and commercial hub consists of a lengthy line of stores, banks, restaurants, and other services that runs for approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) along Great North Road between Lyons Road and Queens Road. It has a significant number of small, locally owned enterprises.

Using the right equipment our 10 years of experience and local knowledge of Five Dock our team can detect termites within your property.

Regular inspections can ensure that more series termite infestations are prevented. We recommend annual termite inspections as this will allow infestations to be detected and 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 Five Dock 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 Five Dock

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.

By placing pieces of timber that are tasty to termites our team can then locate where the termites have infested.

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 Five Dock

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.

The chemical barrier prevents the termites from being able to enter the property.

This barrier will then help to protect your property from further damage in the future.

This method is shown to be very effective for general households.

6 Termite Prevention Methods for Five Dock Properties

The following six methods can help keep termites away:
  1. Drips, Leaks & Pipes By fixing any leaking pipes or inadequate draining will help prevent attracting termites, as they love moisture and wood.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. 
  5.  Pre-Construction A pre-construction spray will ensure that there is a barrier from termites from the start of the construction process. 
  6. 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.
