Apart from having your property regularly inspected by professional pest controllers, you can also ensure that you restrict the timber-loving insects from settling in the structure of your property. White ants love moisture and damp wood, therefore, make an effort to eliminate favourable conditions. Proofing measures include the following: maintain low humidity levels at your home; repair leaks and address plumbing issues; keep firewood dry and away from the house; seal\/varnish exterior wooden surfaces of your property, etc.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
To fight successfully a serious termite infestation involves taking a set of meticulous measures, and steps, which should be followed in a particular order. Above all, without the experience and expertise of a certified professional, you are likely to cause more harm than good. For instance, if you attempt to investigate the problem yourself and break open the wood, you suspect that has been affected by termites, the disturbance of their colony will make the insects abandon the nest. They will move to a different part of your home structure and bring on further damage and disrepair.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
There are several signs that indicate what type of infestation your property may be suffering from. For example, woodworms leave a characteristic type of exit holes in the wood. Termites, on the other hand, produce earthen flight tubes, which project horizontally and are usually located at the joints of the house. Frass and powdery heaps around your property may also hint at a termite problem. However, to determine what exactly you are dealing with, seek a specialist opinion.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
The service warranty will largely depend on the type of termite treatment methods we have applied in your situation. Certain products come with an 8-year guarantee if an annual inspection is performed for the whole of this period. Furthermore, as with any pest control treatment, failure to take proofing measures may result in a recurring infestation. As an example, if you don\u2019t address dampness issues in your home, it is likely that the termite problem will reappear.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n
