If you think that your newly renovated home or newly bought commercial property is not under immediate threat from smart termites, think again! Sometimes, the worst affected properties are the ones which showed least possibility of the debilitating attack. Termite treatment in Sydney is a thriving business, thanks to the perfect moist and warm conditions in the city which makes properties on the shore most susceptible to the infestation.

The services of professional services should not be looked for after the damage is done. Sometimes, you can choose to prevent the damage by scheduling timely inspections. An adept professional who is experienced in investigation, wastes no time in finding the nooks and corners where termites usually hide themselves. To outsmart the termite, a pro uses state-of-the-art tools and equipments and sprays termite killer chemicals in the affected areas.

But you can also cater to the services of a pro organization before you decide to buy a property or renovate an old one. In fact, an invasive pre-purchase building and timber pest inspection by a pro is the most cost-effective option in front of you. Sometimes, unknowingly, an owner buys a new property only to realize later on the havoc created by the termites on timber floors which need total replacement. A pro team knows the most susceptible areas and investigates the same thoroughly – damp areas in the basement, cracks in the walls, cracks in the tiles, damaged roof, showers with leakage, poor drainage system, damaged gutters, discoloration, holes in timber, sagged doors, damaged paint, and other such common indicators.

Due to the prevalence of infestation in the Sydney area, there’re a number of companies which promise effective termite treatment in Sydney. But as the procedure involves initial expenditure, caution is required in selection of the best service. The service must comply with Australian Standard AS3660 regulations. The detailed report on any indicators of termite infestation must mention the specific species, spread, and exact location of the same. A pro is bound to include the best solution for complete eradication and prevention of the same attack in the future. The comprehensive report must mention the remaining areas which were inaccessible and were unchecked.

Now, there’re a number of ways in which investigation can be carried – thermal technology and visual inspection are the most common. Thermal option might be a little costlier, but it is sure to give exact results in lesser time. The technique involves locating the pests via heat and moisture measurements – a method which can never fail to detect the presence and precise location of the pest. As pest attack isn’t included in home insurance, timely and regular inspections are the best alternatives to a mammoth bill you might have to pay after the attack.
