The main objective of a Termite inspection is to determine if termites are present.

• Termites feed on cellulose, starches and sugars that they obtain from wood, so remove potential termite food away from buildings, their food can include timber stacks, old stumps, building refuse, garden decoration such as sleepers and logs
• Waste timber from construction activities is often left in place or stored under the building, remove all timber off cuts and formwork
• Subterranean termites obtain their moisture mainly from the soil, its important to fix leaking pipes, drains, showers, sinks etc, plus water from air conditioning units, and storm water should be directed away from the building.
• Termites prefer humid conditions, so keep the air in sub-floor areas of the building dry by not covering air vents, or improving sub-floor ventilation, drainage and access.
• Termites cannot chew through concrete laid to the Standards, so ensure concrete slabs are properly designed, compacted, and cured

Regular termite inspections are the most important part of controlling termites before they do any damage. Arrange regular termite inspections at least once a year in cooler areas and twice a year in warmer areas.

• Keep the edges of the building (slabs, foundation, piers and stumps) clear of clutter, including garden beds and vegetation
• Aardvark Pest Control technicians are trained in inspecting buildings for termite activity use their services, call an expert
• Building owners can inspect buildings themselves more frequently than a professional, if they can identify termite damage or termite activity, they should call an expert for proper insect identification.
