How Do I Know If My Property Has Termites?
Termites, also known as white ants, are experts at staying hidden, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye. However, certain warning signs can help you identify their presence on your property.
One of the most common indicators is the appearance of mud tubes; thin, pencil-sized tunnels made from mud and saliva that termites use to travel between their nest and food source. These tubes often appear along your foundation, basement walls, or wooden structures.
Another red flag is hollow-sounding wood. If wood sounds hollow or papery when tapped, termites may be feeding inside. Termites typically consume wood from the inside out, leaving only a thin outer layer intact.
Termite swarms are also a telltale sign of infestation. When establishing new colonies, termites shed their wings, so finding discarded wings around your home could indicate an active problem.
Additionally, watch out for frass, termite droppings resembling sawdust or small pellets near infested wood.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act fast. Hiring our experts for termite pest control in Sydney ensures early detection and effective treatment. Whether you need regular property termite inspections or a home termite inspection in Sydney, our services help prevent termites from causing serious damage to your property.
We guarantee top-quality service; schedule your termite inspection in Sydney today and protect your home from hidden infestations!
Annual Termite Inspection Specialists in Sydney
Keeping your property protected from termites requires staying one step ahead with regular inspections. That’s why investing in regular termite inspection services on an annual basis is a smart decision.
Our annual property termite inspection precisely examines your property to spot signs of termite activity. We thoroughly check for indicators like mud tubes, termite droppings, discarded wings, and more. Our experts also inspect critical areas, like crawl spaces, foundations, and wooden structures, for signs of damage or infestation.
Our routine thermal termite inspections are vital to protect your property because termites can cause severe damage before they’re even detected. Including these inspections as part of your annual termite maintenance plan helps you take proactive measures to safeguard your property.
Yearly termite inspections may seem like an added expense. They are a minor investment compared to the damages termites can cause if you ignore the services. By paying a reasonable yearly termite inspection cost, you can avoid expensive repairs in the future.
We cover several anti-termite treatments, like termite fumigation, termite spraying, termite traps, and many more for residential and commercial termite control services.
Understanding Termites: Characteristics and Identification
Termite Identification:
Termites are small, soft-bodied insects measuring 0.7 mm and 1 cm long. Unlike ants, termites have straight antennae with bead-like segments and a more uniform body shape, lacking the pinched waist characteristic of white ants.
Termites typically range in colour from pale brown to white, with a darker head. Winged termites, known as swarmers, are most noticeable during warmer months. These swarmers have four equal-sized wings that appear slightly translucent as they fly.
Termite Behaviour:
Termites are known for their constant feeding habits, which can cause extensive damage over time. Their primary diet is wood, but they also consume paper, cardboard, and certain fabrics.
These pests live in highly organised colonies, which can range from a few hundred to several million members. Within the colony, termites are divided into specific roles:
- Workers – Responsible for gathering food and maintaining the nest.
- Soldiers – Defend the colony from predators, mainly ants.
- Reproductive Termites – These include the king, queen, and swarmers responsible for establishing new colonies.
Understanding termite characteristics and behaviour is essential for early detection and prevention. Regular termite inspections can help protect your property from costly infestations.
Types of Termites: When You Need Immediate Attention
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are notorious for causing severe damage to homes and businesses across Australia. They gradually chew through the wood using their hard, saw-like jaws, compromising structural integrity over time. To prevent costly damage, having your home inspected for these pests at least once a year is essential. If you notice any signs of their presence, it is crucial to undertake our termite treatment for your Sydney property to ensure effective eradication and long-term protection.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites prefer dry, undecayed wood and are commonly found in utility poles, structural timber, and furniture. Unlike subterranean termites, they do not build tunnels but instead remain above ground, typically infesting smaller areas. A key sign of their presence is the piles of faecal pellets they leave behind, indicating an active infestation.
Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites are larger in size and can sometimes be mistaken for winged ants. They have large heads with pincers and are naturally attracted to moist wood. You may find them in areas such as roof eaves with leaks, old wooden decks, or places affected by plumbing issues. These termites prefer nesting in wood that is in direct contact with the soil and maintains high moisture levels, making early detection crucial to prevent structural damage.
Preventing Termite Infestations: Strategies & Tips
Eliminating termites from your property is possible but requires a lengthy and challenging process. To reduce the risk of an infestation, consider implementing these preventive measures:
- Repair leaks and dry areas like basements and crawl spaces, as termites attract moisture.
- Store firewood and other timber away from your home and keep it off the ground to prevent termites from accessing an easy food source.
- Ensure proper ventilation throughout your home, particularly in spaces like the attic and under the house, to lower humidity levels that attract termites.
- Schedule annual termite inspections in Sydney to detect and address early signs of infestation before they cause significant damage.
By following these effective strategies, you can reduce the risk of termite infestations and protect your property’s structural integrity.

Termidor Termite Treatment® FAQ’s
Is My Termidor® Treatment Ok After Heavy Rain?
How Soon After Heavy Rain Or Flooding Can A Termidor Treatment Be Done?
My House Was Subject To Major Flooding. Is My Termidor Treatment Still Working?
This depends on several factors. Your Accredited Termidor Applicator is best positioned to determine this via a thorough inspection and written report. As a guide, Termidor should be used to re-establish the treated zones when:
- Soil erosion next to foundations has removed protective termite treatment zones.
- Any rectification work has moved or removed treated soil.
- Flooding has brought new, untreated soil next to the foundation.
- Foundation elements have shifted/moved, or soil subsidence has occurred, and untreated soil now requires a Termidor treatment.
- Treatments with other more water-soluble products are suspected to no longer be in place to protect the structure (from previous use of non-Termidor materials).
- Adjacent patios, driveways, concrete pathways, asphalt pads, etc., have moved and exposed soil areas that can now be treated, especially when repaired and previous soil is moved.
- Landscaping and previously treated zones have been repaired, added, and disturbed.
- Repairs to the structure (especially foundation repairs) leads to the presence of untreated zones.
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.
What Does All This Flooding Do To The Termite Threat?
Why Should You Insist On Termidor?
What Makes Termidor So Effective?
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.
