How to Inspect Your Home For Termites

We recommend you use our termite inspection services as it can be difficult for untrained eyes to spot the presence of termites, especially subterranean termites. If you are going to do this yourself here’s what to look for…

• Mud around skirting and door frames.
• Paint peeling off the Gyprock.
• Tap wall with hand and hear mud drop.
• Hollow sounding wood.
• Damaged paint or holes in timber.

WHAT TO DO TO PROPERLY INSPECT YOUR PROPERTY FOR TERMITES

• You’ll need to get into crawl spaces and probe with a pick or screwdriver
• Pay special attention to wood close to the ground
• Check all sills, subfloors, window frames, decks and posts
• See if there’s any wood close to your property such as old tree stumps
• Check any gaps in brickwork close to the ground

If you find termites or see signs of termite activity DON’T PANIC. Termites eat quite slowly. The worse thing you can do is spray the termites with fly spray. Simply call us on 02 6887 2825 or call Nathan directly on 0438 841 798 and we’ll carry out a full inspection and be able to advise you on the best solution for your property.
 

TERMITE INSPECTIONS DUBBO

The investment you made in your home is for life. Having spent a considerable amount of money and committed to repayments for many years, the comfort standards you enjoy and quality of life must be optimal. Pests can change things in homes of all sizes.
Regardless of whether you have a mansion or live in a more modest residential property, their presence spells trouble and expense. That’s why it is important to seek out professional termite inspection services in Dubbo, even when everything appears to be just fine. Termite Prevention is always better than the cure and a lot less costly, too.

WHY CALL A PROFESSIONALS FOR A TERMITE INSPECTION

At Dentec Pest Management, we are your local, family-owned and operated pest control business. We have been operating professionally for over twenty years in the community and have achieved fantastic results for a diverse range of clients. We put our customers first and no matter how routine the work we carry out is, we are committed to affording you a high-quality treatment and service that cannot be beaten.

Whether you are a homeowner or a business owner, your priority should be to insulate your premises from unwanted pests, but if you are already struggling to deal with them, then the simplest way to restore comfort and safety is to reach out to us for help.

HOW REGULAR TERMITE INSPECTIONS ADD VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY

Here at Dentec Pest Management, we understand that every household has a budget that they try to stick to every year. In the absence of a pest problem it is easy to justify not spending any money on preventative treatments and inspections, but rest assured, this is not money that is squandered, but rather, a smart investment that you will benefit from.

A routine termite inspection enables you to get ahead of the problem when it first emerges. In Australia, our hot and humid climate makes for ideal conditions for termites. CSIRO reported that there are somewhere in the region of 32% of houses that have a termite presence, and in some of these the problem has not been detected.

Finding a problem that is building could save you thousands of dollars. Termites are relentless in their attack on timber, which could compromise the structure of your home. Most insurance policies do not cover termite damage, so if you suddenly realise that you are facing costly repairs, you may have to pay for it out of your own pocket.

DIY products are generally ineffective. No matter what brand you choose, they are all based on the same formula and push back the problem in the short-term, rather than deliver any sort of long-term results. Therefore, they are a waste of your money, and the time required to use them. Professional termite inspections make a real difference and enable you to tap into safe, effective solutions that consistently deliver results.

SAFE, RELIABLE & EFFECTIVE TERMITE INSPECTIONS

We offer a safe, reliable and effective termite inspection service to our Dubbo neighbours, so drop into our office, give us a call or send us an email to learn more. We look forward to bringing the best professional service in your area to you soon.

OUR INSPECTIONS WILL HELP YOU LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR TERMITE PROBLEM

Have you noticed that something is “off” in your home lately, or do you have a sneaking suspicion that it may be harbouring unwanted guests? If so, you aren’t alone. Many homeowners throughout Dubbo and the surrounding areas experience this creeping dread on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the “creeping” part of that dread is all too real when you find yourself dealing with termites. A termite infestation can spell significant problems for you and the other occupants of your home, which is why you should act the moment you suspect termites may be present.

WHAT ARE THE USES OF A TERMITE INSPECTION?

What does it mean to take action when you suspect termites? The first thing you should do is verify that termites are the problem. If you have not seen the termites firsthand, it is possible that you may be dealing with pests of another kind. There is one easy way to determine whether you are struggling with termites or some other kind of pest: arrange for a pest and termite inspection at your property. Finding professionals to conduct your termite and pest inspection can provide you with concrete information that you can use to take decisive next steps in the process of cleansing your home.

How can you hire effective pest control professionals for your termite inspection? There are several ways to tell quality pest control professionals apart from those who may not produce ideal results. Looking for these features can help you choose pest control and termite inspection professionals who will be able to give you the help you need:

• Choose pest management professionals who have spent years (or even decades) performing their duties and learning how to become as efficient as they possibly can be. Experienced professionals will be able to work faster and more thoroughly than others, ridding your home of termites in a shorter time and lowering the likelihood that they will return.
• Work with services that offer detailed and meaningful customer service. Your pest controllers should be willing to speak with you about the problems you are experiencing and provide you with advice on what to do before and after their visit.
• Choose a service that demonstrates explicit knowledge of termite baiting. Baiting termites is an excellent way to draw them out and deal with them once and for all.

HOW MUCH DOES A TERMITE INSPECTION COST?

Time is one of, if not the most important factors when it comes to getting a termite infestation under control. The problem is, unless you are fortunate enough to recognise the signs, or happen to spot them, then their presence can go undetected for some time and cause a lot of damage that will be expensive to repair. That’s why when customers ask about the cost of termite inspections, the team here at Dentec Pest Management always encourages those who got in touch to think about the potential cost they may face if swift action is not taken.

With Dentec Pest Management, you gain a prompt, professional service that you can depend on to provide you with friendly advice and a team of licenced technicians who only use chemicals that have been registered by the APVMA.

Termite inspection cost may be what you are using to make a decision about whether to invest in professional termite control services or not right now, but trust us, that investment will pay dividends year after year, and afford you a better standard of health, safety and security in your home.

Get Checked Regularly: The Importance of Termite Inspections

The way to beat termites is to keep on top of the job because termites are relentless. Spotting signs of trouble and doing something about it is vital, but you may not know what to look for, and there may even be telltale warning signs on your property right now, but you don't realise their significance. That is our job. We know all the signs. We can see when trouble is about to start by picking up on signs like termite wood damage and we can see when it has already begun and it is too late for a termite treatment for wood.

The logical answer is to call us in, as experts, to carry out a termite inspection of your property.

Booking a Termite Inspection

If a colony of termites have your property in their sights, they may be in the yard, making a meal of your trees or outhouses before moving on to the main event. When we do a termite inspection for you, we can identify trouble by reading the signs, so we can head them off before they do any real damage. Or, if the attack is already well underway, we can stop it in its tracks, and you can rectify the situation by repairing or replacing whatever has been damaged, safe in the knowledge that the current battle has been won.

All you have to do is call Dentec Pest Management or email us and we'll get back to you to discuss what you need. If you want to go right ahead and book a termite inspection, you can do that online.

Prevention is Better Than Cure - But Cure is Good Too

Talking about battles may seem dramatic, but pest control with termites is like a war and you have to take them on in battles from time to time. Miss a battle and you could lose the war, your property ruined. We don't want that, and we can help you make sure it doesn't happen.
