Termites
At Mantis Pest Control we have a variety of different options when it comes to helping protect your home against termite attack, you can book today to organize a Free assessment of your home, advising on what treatment would work for you.The home owner can help to discourage termites by remembering these facts:
- Termites are attracted to wood, so remove potential termite food away from buildings their food can include timber stacks, old stumps, building refuse, garden decoration such as sleepers and logs.
- Waste timber from construction activities is often left in place or stored under the house.
- Timber can be treated to prevent termite attack, and some timbers are naturally resistant - use treated or naturally resistant timber when it is in contact with, or close to, soil.
- Termites are attracted to water, so fix leaking water pipes, showers, sinks etc.
- Termites prefer humid conditions, so keep air under the house dry by improving sub-floor ventilation, drainage and access.
- Termite colonies can sometimes be located - it is possible to eliminate colonies by killing the reproductives (the queen and the king).
- Regular inspections are the most important part of controlling termites before they do any damage.
- Arrange regular inspections – at least once a year in cooler areas and twice a year in warmer areas.
Mantis Pest Control is trained in inspecting houses for termites.
