Subterranean Termites or White Ants can be extremely destructive and a pest to be taken seriously.
They are a common threat to properties and households globally.
Termites feed on wood and anything cellulose such as panel floors and timber supports – cellulose is their primary food source.
These pests are one of the worst guests that you can have in your home as they can cause massive destruction to wood structures.
Should you suspect an infestation occurring within your premises in Singapore, call us for immediate inspection and respective control treatment.
These are some common signs you can look out for should you suspect an infestation occurring within your premises.
1. Mud tubes
Subterranean Termites build their shelter tubes made out of mud, dirt and debris to travel to and from their food source and nest.
These tubes are pencil sized tunnels wood structures, and concrete or stone foundations. When searching a home for these tubes, there are three types to look for:
Working tube – path between termite nest in soil and wood
Exploratory tube – path extending only from soil
Drop tube – path from wood back to soil
These tubes are found on exterior and interior walls leading up to entry points of your premises.
2. Flying Termites and Discarded Wings
Typically, the first signs of an infestation are flying termites also known as swarmers or alates and discarded wings.
They are in action when the males and females have left their nest to mate or build a new colony – which could potentially be within your premises.
Some flying termites swarm at night and are commonly attracted to light sources.
Dry-wood termites tend to swarm after rain at specific times of the year whilst other species swarm during the day.
We eradicate these destructive pests with treatment methods such as dusting, baiting and anti termites soil treatment.
Regular inspection and termite control treatment are most definitely essential should you be experiencing an infestation.
