Termites are fast moving insects. One would think that when constructing a brand new home it would take a while for a termite colony to take notice before moving in to attack, but that's certainly not the case for one Sydney couple.
When ASSASSIN PEST CONTROL got the call to inspect a 2 year old home, we weren't at all surprised to find an infestation already taking place. On this occasion however it was a little more severe than would normally be anticipated with our technicians discovering 26 entry points made by subterranean termites over 180 lineal meters around the house!
The location of this beautiful home is semi rural on a large property, surrounded by many large trees & woodlands. For this reason the house was in fact placed in an ideal position for termites to take hold, and without the necessary termite defense system in place (termite baiting stations such as Exterra) it was basically a free reign for entire colonies!

The Truth about Termites

- Category: News
There are about 2000 known species of termites throughout the world. There is a concern in 7 out of 8 states and territories in Australia. Subterranean Termites, are extremely destructive, because they tunnel their way to wooden structures (like your home), into which they burrow to obtain food. Termites all share a virtually insatiable appetite for wood and other cellulose-containing materials. Given enough time, they will feed on the wood until nothing is left but a shell.
Incredible termites - don't let them make your home theirs!

Here is a video made many years ago by David Attenborough. It shows some incredible footage of a termite colony at work.
This is a perfect example of what can happen inside the framework of your family home if termites are not detected & treated.
