Melbourne Termite Control
Of all those varieties of termites, only a handful cause damage to properties. Sometimes known as white ants termites are actually a completely different insect group that are not directly related to ants. In evolutionary terms, termites are more closely related to cockroaches. Here at All Pests we can you with both, a regular pest inspection is the best way to make sure none of these creepy crawlies find thier way into your woodwork.
There are over 300 species of termites in Australia.
Termites are one of the most successful species on the planet and can be found on every land mass on Earth with the exception of Antarctica.
Termite colonies that require high humidity will only flourish in locations where there is a constant supply of moisture. These termite workers are generally thin-skinned and without sufficient humidity they with quickly dehydrate and die.
When searching for warning signs for termites a major cause for alarm is the presence of damp areas close to or on structural timber. Our Melbourne termite inspection team will search your property not only for termites, but also notify you of areas where you may have potential to encounter termite infestation.
Termite Species
Coptotermes acinaciformis
This Termite is a subterranean species of termite that is native to Australia and can be found throughout Australia, with the exception of Tasmania and parts of coastal Victoria.
This species of termite will typically build its nest underground or in the base of a tree stump, building subterranean passages that extend outwards from the central nest up to 50m.
When conducting termite inspections in Melbourne, this particular termite is one of the most common culprits we encounter. A termite colony can contain more than a million termites and if left unchecked can cause serious damage to your property.
Termite Warning Signs
This termite species requires high humidity in order to survive. Properties with older plumbing or properties susceptible to leaks should have regular termite inspections carried out in order to ensure that termites do not find themselves a foothold.

Termite Control & Removal
When you discover a termite infestation, the most important thing to do is not panic. Despite the fact that they will almost certainly have caused some damage, your property should be fine if you act quickly. The best way to do this is to contact pest control professionals who can remove the infestation by destroying the colony. There are also treatments that you can purchase, but the only way to know if the problem is truly gone is to seek professional assistance.
Knowing a little about pests is always beneficial when dealing with them. This will not only help you formulate and understand the best pest control techniques, but it will also give you a good idea of what they are and how concerned you should be. Termites, on the other hand, are well-known for the extensive damage they can cause to properties, which is why they are so feared. Colonies frequently number in the millions, which is a good thing in some ways because it means they won't be able to hide for long.
