Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does termite species matter?
- Different termite species have different nesting habits, food preferences, and vulnerabilities. Subterranean termites require soil treatments, while drywood termites may need localised or fumigation treatments. Correct identification ensures the right treatment is applied.
- How can I tell if I have termites or white ants?
- Termites and white ants are the same insect — "white ant" is a common Australian term for termites. Signs include mud tubes on walls, hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings near windows, and visible damage to wood structures.
- Can I identify termites myself?
- While you can spot signs of termite activity, accurate species identification requires expert knowledge and sometimes magnification. Misidentification can lead to ineffective treatment, so professional identification is recommended.
