Termite Treatment Nerang

Termites, also known as white ants, are a pest you want to avoid at all costs. They cause more property damage than fires and floods combined and termite damage isn’t covered by your home insurance because it falls back to preventative measures.

In the long list of home maintenance and repair costs – roof repairs, lawn maintenance, leaking pipes and more – you might think it’s easier to put termite control on the back burner. Is it really with the time and money? The short answer is yes. Thankfully is a simple and affordable option to keep on top of termites and make you better off.

Termite Species in Nerang

South-east Queensland has two types of termites, Subterranean Termites and Drywood Termites, both of which we find regularly in Nerang homes.

Subterranean Termites

As the name suggests, these termites live underground and need contact with soil and a constant source of moisture. They migrate above-ground via mud tubes and infest houses and other buildings. There are 10 known species of Subterranean termites in Queensland,  the most common species being Coptotermes acinaciform and Schedorhinotermes spp.

Drywood termites

Alternatively, Drywood termites do not require contact with the ground or soil moisture, instead preferring to nest in a single piece of timber. They can infest buildings through flight, as a caste called swarmers that have wings and expand the colony, or through the introduction of infested timber or furniture. Colonies are around a few hundred individuals, which is much smaller compared to Subterranean termites but they can still be just as damaging. The most common species of Drywood termites are Cryptotermes brevis (West Indian Drywood Termite) and Cryptotermes primus (Native Drywood Termite).

Termite Baiting

Termite baiting is one of the most common methods of termite pest control. In Nerang, termite baiting can be taken out professionally by a pest control technician who inspects your property and sets up baits, however, yearly check-ups and exterminating a colony can be quite costly.
