Where Are Termites Typically Found?
Termites can most commonly be found in any area where timber has been used, such as in the foundations of a building or on door frames or beams. They also feed on trees. They feed on both dry wood and damp wood, depending on their species, and are excellent at locating timber and reproducing.
There are more than 350 different varieties of termites in Australia and some also feed on cellulose. Cellulose is used in many household features, such as floor coverings, insulation material, furniture, cabinetry and clothing.
This means termites can be found in any area where these materials are used, both outdoors and indoors. Because they never stop eating, they can cause extreme damage to structures and belongings in any building.
How To Identify & Control Termites
Termites are very similar visually to ants and can be hard to distinguish. Termites have four wings that are the same size as their body, but they are lost after swarming. Their antennae are straight and they can be black, dark brown, white or translucent in colour. They are very small – usually 95 mm long.
They are shy and elusive creatures, meaning you may find it difficult to spot the pest themselves. Instead, it can be more effective to look out for changes in the timber around your property or to listen out for tapping sounds inside your walls. Depending on the severity of the infestation, you may be able to see live or dead termites around the affected area.

What Are The Signs You Need Termite Control?
These signs may indicate that you have a termite infestation:
Termite Droppings
Look out for small pellets that may begin to appear near timber structures on your property if you have a termite infestation. However, it’s worth noting that some types of termites use their droppings to build structures so you may not spot any.
Discarded Termite Wings
After swarming, termites lose their wings, so you may be able to spot discarded wings on the floor near the affected area which could alert you to an infestation problem.
Visual Clues of Termites
Termites leave visual clues in areas where they are feeding. For example, your walls or floors may look water damaged, appearing discoloured, droopy, peeling or loose. This is because termites cause added moisture. Also, look out for visible pinpoint holes or tunnels.
Structural Damage From Termites
There may be noticeable structural damage to the timber in the property. For example, your floorboards may buckle when walked on or beams may have become weak. Try tapping on the wood to test this - if it sounds hollow, this is a warning sign.
How To Prevent Termite Infestations
There are some easy steps that we recommend to prevent termite infestations. The most important is to remove any termite food sources that may attract them to the area. Keep dead trees or tree stumps, rotting wood and leftover wood away from your home wherever possible.
Also, be wary of paper products such as cardboard boxes and dispose of them responsibly as soon as possible – do not leave them in close proximity to your property. If you must keep materials like this, it can be safer to store them at higher levels that termites will find hard to reach.
Also, try to limit plants and greenery around your home by keeping shrubs trimmed and grass short. Termites love moisture, so keep your home dry by ensuring that the property’s drainage system is effective and there are no leaks.

Termite Control FAQs
What should I do if I think I have termites?
If you have any concerns that there may be a termite infestation on your property, contact the professionals at
All Pest Solutions as soon as possible. We can put your mind at ease with a thorough inspection and recommend the most suitable treatment. The faster you act, the better.
What is the best treatment for termites?
It’s impossible to say which termite treatment is the best or most effective because it largely depends on the situation. Baiting stations are usually highly effective but applying soil or wood treatment can often be cheaper and quicker. And of course, prevention is always better than cure. We take a tailored approach depending on the severity and location of the infestation.
How long does termite treatment last?
This depends on the treatment. Fumigation can take up to three days to complete but the problem can quickly come back if not prevented. Chemical barriers and termiticides can be effective for years with one easy application, whereas baiting stations have to be maintained if they are to be effective in the long term.
Do You Think You Have Active Termites?
It is very important if you think you have found termites, that you do NOT disturb them. Disturbing live termites can make it very difficult to treat effectively (If you have already done this, there is no problem we can’t fix). Here are some don'ts:
- Treat the area with fly spray or other household insecticides
- Remove their source of food
- Break open their mudtubes / tunnels
