I see people way too often that have not had regular termite inspections. When I get to see them it is way to late. What is it as a termite professional that I have to do to make people aware that termites are an ever present risk wherever you live in Australia. I meet people every day that are faced with the prospect of paying between 4-6k to treat termites that have attacked their home, that with some small forethought could have been avoided entirely. This is ludicrous when really it can be avoided!
1. Have a regular termite inspection by a professional. 2. Take the termite inspectors advice. 3. Implement any action plan. 4. Review the plan regularly. 5. Repeat. Unless you have training in termite management do not kid yourself that you know about what termites do. Termite control is a long term profession and should not be approached lightly. Anyone can look for termites, it is so simple. What is it you are looking for again? Oh signs of termites, yeah right they are really minute and hard to see. Anyone can pick that up of course. WELL OF COURSE NOT, please people stop and see the light pest control companies are not just out there to rip you of off. There is great value in having an inspection done. Give yourself a break, if you are not trained, do not try to do it.
A special note to builders! Pest controllers do not presume to be able to build houses, Maybe an equal approach is warranted.
Homeowners please have regular inspections carried out, you will save money!
