Termites

Three main groups of termites: Subterranean Termites, Drywood Termites & Dampwood Termites.
Subterranean termites are the most destructive of the three groups.
Termites are social insects live in a highly coordinated colony with caste system.
Swarmers (alates) will leave the nest usually in the evening after the rain. After a short flight, the male and female termites pair off and look for suitable nesting site.
Initially, the queen will lay a small batch of eggs. The king and queen will take care of the eggs until they mature. The first batch of eggs will hatch as worker termites. The other groups of termites will develop at a later stage.
Once the worker termites mature, the queen and king will no longer take care of the eggs and young termites. Their primary function will then be reproduction. The worker termites will look after the eggs and young termites.
Soldier protects the nest against enemies such as ants.
The queen could lay up to 20,000 eggs per day in the colony. The queen can survive up to 20 years in the colony while the workers and soldiers generally can live for 2 years.

Why Control Them?

What we do:

Perform a thorough inspection of the premises to locate termite activity/trails/nests and identify termite species.
Carry out mainly baiting treatment for subterranean termite infestation
Carry out dusting, foaming, injection, or other termiticide treatment depending on the situation and termite species, eg. drywood termite, garden termite species.
Anti-termite Soil Treatment and Corrective Treatment
Advise client on preventive measures, areas of improvement or maintenance for better termite prevention.
