White ants cause the most damage before you can see them
Subterranean termites in NSW work out of sight, and Katoomba homes with timber framing, sub-floors and garden beds are a natural fit for them. They can eat through foundations, timber, insulation and even pool liners. Most home insurance policies do not cover structural termite damage, so the repair bill usually falls on you. White ant treatment in the Blue Mountains is far cheaper than repairs, and the best termite damage prevention is catching activity early.
Why DIY products often fall short
Over-the-counter sprays tend to treat what you can see, not the colony behind it. Our licensed technicians use specialised equipment for termite colony detection, finding activity in walls, floors, underground pipes and mud shelter tubes. Left unchecked, early signs can turn into multiple colonies causing significant damage.
Flying ant or termite? Check the wings
The two are easy to confuse. Termites have wings of equal length front and back, while ants have longer front wings. If you are unsure, send us a photo or book a visit.
An annual inspection is the simplest safeguard, and with our 6am to 9pm, seven-day hours it fits around work and school runs. Quotes are usually back within 15 minutes of the inspection, and same-day visits are available, subject to technician availability.
