Drywood Termites
Drywood termites nest inside the wood and not on the ground as they don’t need too much moisture. They infest and nest in dry wood and do not require contact with the soil. These termites live in wooden frames, attics, trees, and other wooden elements.
3
Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites are larger than the subterranean termites. They are attracted to wood that is water-damaged or rests directly on the ground and tree branches that are left in direct contact with the ground. Dampwood termites also infest roof leaks or cracked drain pipes.

Every year termites cause millions in structural damages for property owners. Our Pre & Post-construction termite treatment focuses on how you identify and help protect your property from termites through effective prevention measures and appropriate use of termite treatments.






1. PRE-CONSTRUCTION 
ANTI-TERMITE

Anti-Termite Pre-construction treatment is mandatory for property developers to ensure that the occupants of the promises do not have to deal with pests that can destroy the property or become nuisance to occupants. The soil treatment is applied during the initial stages of construction to avoid terminates and other insects with high infestation to potentially occupy the building site. This is done by blocking concealed access of subterranean termites to the structure being built. Service includes cleaning:  


The soil treatment application process requires:

1. Thorough inspection of the construction site to identify current infestation points, termite route and to recommend the correct combination of chemicals and treatment process

2. Side preparation to reveal all hidden opportunities and understand soil complexities.

3. Identify application points and levels of concentration

4. Choosing the correct chemicals, and chemical combinations

5. Taking into consideration the Health Hazards and Safety Measures

6. Being engaged from the beginning of the project to the end.

2. POST-CONSTRUCTION
ANTI-TERMITES

For all the precautionary measures not taken during Anti Termite Pre-Construction, there are means to still catch up using a different approach. Post-construction treatment involves eliminating termites infestation on a building ready for habitation or premises that are already occupied. Post construction treatment is more complex than the Anti-Termite pre-construction treatment process. It is therefore critical to have specialist with significant experience in the post treatment process to treat the premisses. In South Africa, specialist are accredited by the department of agriculture to provide such services and to issue a certificate after the process. Specialist go through skills training, 6 months practical training under a qualified and experienced supervisor before they can be recognised by the department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

What are the Negative Effects of having Termites?
1. Termites can spread mould

Mold can appear in homes where termites have caused wooden structures to decompose. Termites like damp, humid environments where mold tends to grow.

2. Bites and Stings

A termite can bite or sting you if it feels threatened. A termite bite does not kill humans, but it can itch, swell, burn and feel very painful if you are prone to allergic reactions.

3. Allergies and Asthma

Termite nests release airborne Contaminants and dust that can be spread about the home via your heating and air conditioning systems. These particles can be irritating to those with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems. 

4. Structural Damage

Significant damage from termites can have an effect on the structural integrity of your home and can even cause ceilings and floors to collapse. Termites can also ruin furniture, carpeting, and flooring.

05. They Multiply quickly

Termites take a very short time to spread. Within a few days, they can multiply to colonies up to a million and they have the longest known lifespan of any insect, with some queens reportedly living up to 30 to 50 years.Homeowners need to take every percaussion possible, and be sure to act quickly in order to protect their homes.
