Termites (deemak) eat wood, paper and anything containing cellulose, and they work silently inside walls, door frames and furniture. By the time you see damage, the colony is usually well established, which makes termites one of the most expensive pest problems a property owner can face.
Our anti-termite treatment for existing buildings creates a chemical barrier in the soil along the wall–floor junction, so termites cannot travel from the ground into your building. We also treat affected woodwork directly to stop active damage.
Signs of termites
- Mud tubes on walls, along skirting or around door frames
- Hollow-sounding or soft wood in doors, frames and furniture
- Piles of small wings near windows and lights after rain
- Bubbling paint or cracked plaster with mud inside
- Damaged books, papers or cardboard in storage
Our termite control process
- Inspection of walls, woodwork and entry points to map termite activity
- Small holes drilled at the wall–floor junction at regular intervals
- Termiticide injected into the holes to create a protective barrier
- Holes sealed with matching filler
- Direct treatment of infested wood and furniture
- Advice on moisture and wood in contact with soil
Building something new?
Protection works best before the floor is laid. Our pre-construction anti-termite treatment treats the soil at the foundation and plinth stage.
Frequently asked questions
How long does anti-termite treatment last?
It depends on the chemical used, soil conditions and later construction work. Our technician explains the expected protection period for your property during the inspection.
Will drilling damage my floor?
The holes are small and sealed after treatment. We plan drilling points along the wall–floor junction to keep the finish neat.
Can you treat termites in furniture?
Yes. We treat infested furniture and woodwork directly, and recommend treating the building too, since termites usually come from the soil.
