Understanding Termites

Our Termite Treatments are designed to eliminate active termite colonies while protecting homes, businesses, and industrial properties from long-term structural damage. Because termites often remain hidden inside walls, floors, roofs, and foundations, professional treatment is essential to stop infestations before significant damage occurs.

Over 10 years of termite control experience

Wood-Destroying Termites

Wood-destroying termites, including subterranean and drywood species, feed on cellulose found in timber, wooden structures, and building materials. They can cause serious structural damage by weakening roof timbers, floors, doors, and wooden foundations if left untreated. Professional detection and targeted termite treatments help eliminate colonies and protect your property.

Harvester Termites

Harvester termites primarily feed on dry grass, plant material, and organic matter found in soil. While they do not usually attack structural timber like wood-destroying termites, large colonies can damage lawns, gardens, and vegetation. Control treatments help reduce activity and prevent ongoing infestations.

Termite Q&A

Find expert answers to the most common questions about termite detection, damage, and the professional treatment methods we use to protect properties across Gauteng.

How do I know if I have subterranean termites vs. drywood termites?

Subterranean termites typically build distinctive mud tubes along walls or foundations to travel between their underground colonies and food sources. Drywood termites do not need soil contact and often leave visible piles of frass (wood-colored droppings) near infested timber. Our professional inspection can accurately identify the species present in your property.

Can termites damage my property even if I can't see them?

Absolutely. Termites are incredibly destructive pests that often operate entirely hidden inside walls, beneath floors, or within roof voids. They can feed on structural timber for months or even years before obvious exterior signs appear. By the time visible damage is noticeable, significant structural weakening may have already occurred, which is why professional inspections are critical.

How long does a professional termite treatment take to work?

Our targeted drilling and injection methods begin working immediately upon application. However, the timeline for total colony elimination depends on the size of the colony and the species of termites. We will provide you with a clear timeline after our initial assessment and treatment plan is finalized.

Is drilling and injection safe for my home's foundation?

Yes. Our technicians use professional-grade equipment and precision drilling techniques that are designed specifically for termite control. We create small, targeted entry points that do not compromise the structural integrity of your foundation, floors, or walls. All entry points are sealed upon completion of the treatment.

What is the difference between subterranean and wood-destroying termites?

Subterranean termites are a specific category of wood-destroying termites that live in large underground colonies and use mud tubes to access above-ground wood. Drywood termites are another category of wood-destroying termites that do not require soil and can infest dry, sound timber directly. Both types cause severe structural damage, but they require different treatment strategies.

Will the treatment protect my property from future termite infestations?

Our treatment process includes a dedicated prevention phase. After active colonies are eliminated, we provide detailed recommendations tailored to your property to help minimise the risk of future infestations. This includes addressing moisture issues, fixing structural vulnerabilities, and advising on ongoing monitoring strategies.
