Termites cause significant structural damage by feeding on wood. Subterranean and drywood species are common in South Africa. Early detection and professional treatment are essential. Verminator offers inspection and treatment services.
Termites are pale, soft-bodied insects often mistaken for ants. Workers are wingless; swarmers have wings and emerge in spring. Look for mud tubes on foundations, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings, or frass (sawdust-like droppings).
Termites seek cellulose (wood, paper). Subterranean termites need moisture and build mud tubes from soil to wood. Drywood termites nest inside wood. Wood-to-soil contact, moisture, and untreated timber attract them.
Termites can cause severe structural damage, compromising beams, floors, and walls. Damage is often hidden until advanced. Repair costs can be substantial. Early intervention is critical.
Verminator offers inspection to identify species and extent, baiting systems for subterranean termites, wood treatment for drywood termites, and preventive measures. We tailor the approach to your property and infestation type.
