How To Identify Termites In Your Kogarah Home
Call AB1 Pest Control Kogarah to complete a termite inspection or treatment
Termites can cause extensive and costly damage to your home if left unchecked. The damage caused by termites is not covered by your insurance.
There are many different types of termites that may be in and around your property. They eat wood and any cellulose based products like paper and cardboard.
Some people refer to them as white ants but they are not part of the ant order (Hymenoterans). They are actually more closely related to the cockroach family of insect (order Blattodea).
Depending on the species there can be up to a million or more termites within a colony. Termites in the colony perform different roles. There are workers that dig tunnels and collect food for the colony. For protection from ants and other invaders, there are soldier termites. The soldiers can be identified with larger darker heads and large jaws or mandibles.
There are flying termites that are sent out annually to start new colonies.
Of course there is the queen that can produce 30,000 eggs per day, depending on the species.

Thermal Imaging Termite Inspections
Can you see termites with thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging cameras detect the heat that termites emit.
Termite inspections conducted with a thermal imaging camera can find termites hidden in a wall, ceiling or floor cavity.
Finding active termites without invasive damage to walls or disturbance of the termites will assist with the treatment and eradication of the termites.
When the heat signature of termites is detected we then use a motion sensor that penetrates into the area.
To effectively find and get rid of termites you need a visual and physical inspection, thermal imaging camera, motion sensor and years of experience.
