The Gap

Termites can be sneaky, and often the signs aren’t obvious until damage has already started. You might notice things like hollow-sounding timber, mud tubes along walls or footings, or even bubbling paint that looks a bit like water damage. If something doesn’t look right, it’s always worth having a professional take a closer look—early detection makes a big difference.

We recommend having a professional termite inspection at least once a year—even if you’ve had a treatment done. Termites can be active year-round, and regular checks are the best way to catch any early signs before they become a bigger problem. It’s a small investment for peace of mind and long-term protection of your home.

Termites are clever at finding their way in, often through tiny cracks in concrete slabs, gaps around pipes, or even through weep holes in brickwork. They’re drawn to moisture and will travel underground or build mud tubes to reach your home without being seen. Once they find a way in, they can start feeding on timber and other materials without any obvious signs at first.

General pest control usually covers common household pests like cockroaches, ants, spiders, and silverfish. It’s designed to help manage pests around your home and tackles any current activity inside. Depending on your property and the time of year, we can also tailor the treatment to target specific pest issues you’re dealing with.

The best way to get rid of termites is to start with a thorough inspection so we know exactly what we’re dealing with. From there, we’ll recommend a treatment plan that suits your home’s construction and the level of activity—whether that’s a perimeter management system, a baiting system, or a combination of both. The key is not just killing the termites you see, but protecting your home from future attacks too.
