August 2009
This Termite activity is coming
up behind the hot water system. The owner was not aware of the activity and
it was found while our operator was treating sleepers and stumps in the yard.
These are pictures or our
termite traps. This before.
This is after when the
termites have infested the Termite Trap.
If you would like more
information on Termite Traps please contact us.

These pictures were taken
while we were treating a demountable building. Because there is inadequate
distance between the soil and the bearers the termites area able to build
there leads directly from the soil to the flooring.
2008
The above pictures were
taken by one of our operators while doing a routine Annual Termite
Inspection. As you can see from the picture above, termite activity is not
always easy to detect.
The picture above is of a

The picture above is of a
worker Termite.
Below is a picture of
termites attacking a tree in an industrial area of
Below are pictures from
under a subfloor. The termites had built many galleries from the untreated
subfloor to the timber floor to gain access into the building. Here the ant caps
were of no use, as the termites entered the building through other means
other than the pillars. If the termites were coming up the pillars the ant
caps would have stopped them from going straight into the flooring.
July 2005 The pictures below are of
some termite damage in the beams. The danger with this situation (other than
it can fall on someone or something) is that the termites can access the roof
void even if a barrier treatment has been applied around the building. This
is because the wood is in direct contact with the soil and the posts do not
have adequate stirrups.
April 2005 The pictures below were
taken at a property in Koongamia. The termite
trails on the wall appeared in seven hours and progressed fast towards the
roof.
Upon the operator arriving at the property to so
an inspection and spot treatment he was able to assess where they were coming
up from the floor. They were coming up in an expansion gap under the carpet.
March 2005 The pictures below are of
a Termite nest found in the shed of at a house in Henley Brook. The shed was
never used. The property had lots of problems with termites, so we were
called in for a quote. It was at the
quote that the nest was found and consequently we have treated the nest.
This is a picture of a
termite gallery that they have built to gain access to the house. If you look
closely you can see signs of the termites in between the floor boards.
This picture above has
had the front paneling removed.
These pictures are close
ups of the damage the termites have caused.
