What are some signs I may have a problem?

In between your annual inspection, or after a treatment, Perth residents can still remain vigilant and look out for some tell-tale signs there may be a possible infestation.

Before going through your home, familiarise yourself with the type of damage they can cause, what termite damaged wood looks like, as well as their tunnels and mud leads. Once you know what exactly you are looking for, from wood damage, wings and nests to mud leads, go through your property and see if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Remember, it’s not just important to check the inside of your home as termites, first have to find a way in from the outside. Take a look at your backyard and see if there are any nests on the trees nearby. This may also be the opportune time to identify any areas that are going to encourage an infestation.
