Termites: the silent destroyers that can wreak havoc on your property without you even noticing. In Brisbane, two termite species rule the land: Coptotermes and Schedorhinotermes.
Let’s dive into the world of these notorious pests, their destructive capabilities, and how Log Fumigation stands out as your ultimate termite control expert.
Coptotermes and Schedorhinotermes: Brisbane’s unwanted houseguests
When it comes to termites in Brisbane, Coptotermes and Schedotermes take centre stage. These tiny terrors can cause extensive damage to your home or business if left unchecked.
- Coptotermes, often known as the “super termite,” is known for its voracious appetite and ability to consume wood at an alarming rate.
- Schedorhinotermes, on the other hand, is a sneaky infiltrator that loves to build its nests in moist, humid areas.
Together, they form a formidable force that can compromise the structural integrity of any property.
Identifying a termite infestation: the signs you can’t ignore
To protect your property, it’s crucial to be vigilant and watch out for the signs of a termite infestation. Look for “mudding” or tunnels made of mud-like material on walls and foundations — a clear indication of termite activity.
Additionally, keep an eye out for leaky showers and taps, as the presence of excess moisture can attract termites through any tiny openings. Don’t underestimate the potential damage lurking behind those seemingly innocent leaks!
Termites unleashed: the risks of ignoring an infestation
Ignoring a termite infestation is like playing with fire. These pests can cause significant damage to your property’s structure, leading to expensive repairs. Left untreated, termites can weaken the very foundation of your home or business, compromising its safety and value. Protecting your investment means taking swift action against these destructive intruders.
Eradication and prevention
At Log Fumigation we believe that protection starts before an infestation, not just in response to one.
We recommend:
- Regular inspections, ideally every six months due to the humidity in Brisbane, are vital for staying one step ahead.
- Keep conductive materials away from your property. Timber propped up on the side of your house can act like a bridge, allowing unobstructed access into your home’s structure.
- Termite barriers involve soil trenching and termiticide. It’s a similar concept to a moat. With reinspection every 12 months and an 8-10-year warranty, they offer peace of mind for the long haul.
