TERMITE CONTROL

In Singapore, termite (white ants) activity commonly goes undetected without the trained eye of a professional. In the early stages of infestation, termites keep their wood-destroying activities hidden beneath flooring and behind walls, siding and wood trim, given the fact that termite events are not as regular as sightings of ants or cockroaches. However termites are frequently viewed as the most notorious house pests. Termite infestations are common in Singapore as its humid environment provides the best conditions for these white ants to thrive. Homes are particularly susceptible to termites as they prefer to build their colonies in wooden furniture and are attracted to timbre. The mission of TOP Pest Control is to offer our clients peace of mind when it comes to termite detection and control at a reasonable price.

HOW TO INSPECT FOR TERMITES?

Termites frequently flourish in family unit furniture undetected as they are generally hard to spot. To lead your own particular termite assessments, you can start by understanding certain indications of termite invasions:

  • Mud tubes or shelter tubes are proof of termite infestation
  • Damaged wood. Termite damaged wood resonates with a dull thud (hollow sound)when tapped with a hammer.
  • Piles of wings.The shed wings indicate termites have entered their next phase of development.
Generally speaking, Subterranean termites are found at or near ground level. Homeowners ought to be watchful of mistaking the safe ants for termites. Termites typically have longer bodies and have an unprotected white abdomen. If necessary, homeowners should get help from a professional pest control operator.

As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. Always ensure to:

  • Eliminate wood to ground contact in your house
  • Keep your drainage clear at all times
  • Turn off any unused water supply
  • Get your house inspected for termites annually
