Termite Control in North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast

​

At Provecta Pest Management, we recognize that termites can cause significant damage to homes and businesses, particularly in the warm and humid climate of North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Our expert team is here to help you identify, manage, and prevent termite infestations effectively.

​

Common Termite Species

• Subterranean Termites: These termites live underground and are the most common type found in Australia. They create mud tubes to access wood and can cause extensive damage to foundations and structures.

• Drywood Termites: Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live in the wood they consume and do not require contact with soil. They can be found in wooden furniture and structural timber.

• Dampwood Termites: Found in decaying wood with high moisture content, dampwood termites typically infest wood that is in contact with the ground.

​

​

​

Signs of Infestation

• Mud Tubes: Look for mud tubes on walls or foundations, which are used by subterranean termites to travel between their nests and food sources.

• Wood Damage: Hollow-sounding wood or wood that appears blistered may indicate termite activity.

• Frass: Tiny wood-colored pellets (excrement) may be found near infested wood, particularly from drywood termites.

• Swarmers: The presence of flying termites, especially in spring, can indicate a nearby colony.
