Wahroonga's Company Cautions Sydney Property Owners To Remain Vigilant Against Termite Infestation

Termite control is normally a focus for homeowners and businesses during the warmest months of the year, but property owners and tenants in the Sydney region need to remain vigilant against termite infestation all year long.

Termites can gain entry into properties in the spring and summer as they seek nesting areas. The reproductive casts fly away from out of the nest to find new nest. In the fall and winter they seek refuge in warmer areas including spaces near fire places or air conditioner. They are generally less active during the cold period of the year. All types of buildings are potential safe haven and food sources for termites. Termite infestations are extremely costly to homeowners as well as businesses as they do tremendous damage to supporting structures.They can go undetected while doing it. The cost to repair termite damage is not covered by property insurance. They can wipeout the owner's financial resources to repair the damage caused by a termite infestation.

More often, property owners are unaware their building is gradually or quickly being gnawed to mud by these hidden pests. It's not unusual for their activity to go on for months or even years undetected. According to Home Termite Control owner Brad Anderson, "People often think if they don't see a termite's nest then there isn't atermite infestation." In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Termites don't knock on the door for entry. They use a stealth approach tracing along the foundation until they find a crack or opening that allows access to the food sources. Their food can be many different types of wood which hasn't been treated with a termite control product.
