TERMITE PROBLEM?

• Apparently, there are still some people who are
  not convinced that they need a termite inspection
  at their homes. They either probably dont want
  their home inspected for personal reasons, or
  they think that there isnt a problem to begin
  with. For some, they feel that they do not need
  it yet because their house is new, or they just
  bought it. However, professional inspections are
  important because they can make sure that the
  house is in good working order.
• The first sign that there is an underlying
  problem with a termite problem is if there is a
  swarm of termites that can be found near the
  foundation of the home. There are instances
  however when people are not too sure if what they
  have seen are termites or just winged ants. They
  do tend to look the same. The termite inspection
  is needed to ensure that the termites will not
  cause any destruction to your own home.
• Usually, people are recommended to have a termite
  inspection annually. This will allow possible
  appearance and living of termites in peoples
  homes to be noticed immediately. Once the
  infestation has been noticed, it will be easier
  for people to apply the right termite control
  needed to totally eliminate the termites.

WHAT AREAS ARE CHECKED?

• When the inspection is taking place, there are
  several places that are checked, in particular
  the following -
• Weather Boarding
• Wood Supports
• Window Frames
• Anything wooden needs to be checked if there are
  termites, because termites love eating any type
  of wood.

TYPES OF TERMITES

• There are also different types of termites that
  may be found inside the home. These different
  types are -
• Damp wood termite Loves to stay in environemnts
  of damp and decaying wood.
• Dry wood termit This type of termite loves
  eating dry wood and they do not need water in
  order to survive and multiply.
• Formosan This is known to be a very destructive
  type of termite, probably because it can eat any
  type of wood and they usually multiply fast. They
  can create pandemonium in a small amount of time.
• Subterranean This type of termite usually needs
  the soil in order to get water and moisture. They
  can build houses using mud too, but the moment
  that they reach the part of the home where food
  is available, this is when the real problems can
  start.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TERMITES

• The differences of the four mentioned types of
  termites depend on the place where they are
  currently living.
• Do remember that the main reason why termites are
  so destructive is because they are able to work
  fast. They also come in big colonies, so you will
  normally see them in large swarms. Also remember
  that it does not mean that just because you
  cannot see any wood damage, you can be sure that
  your home is safe from termites. Termites start
  with the inner side of the wood first so it will
  be hard to see the damage until such time when
  the damage already reaches the outside. By the
  time that happens, it is possible that a lot of
  damage has already been done to different parts
  of the home.
• Termite control is a necessity, so contact a
  professional team of termite inspectors now.
