Understanding Termites & Protecting Your Property
​
What Are Termites? Termites are highly organised social insects often mistakenly called "white ants." Unlike ants, these silent destroyers work continuously, 24 hours a day, consuming cellulose-based materials such as wooden structures, flooring, and even paper products. A single termite colony can contain millions of individuals, collectively causing extensive structural damage that often goes undetected until significant harm has occurred. In Australia, termites cause more damage to homes annually than fire, floods, and storms combined.
​
Our Trusted Termite Inspections Pacific Pest Solutions delivers thorough, Australian Standards-compliant termite inspections using advanced detection technology including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and radar detection systems. Our certified inspectors meticulously examine your entire property—from foundation to roof space—identifying early warning signs invisible to untrained eyes. Following each inspection, you'll receive a detailed report documenting current conditions, potential risk factors, and customised recommendations for your specific situation.
​

Early detection significantly reduces repair costs—catching termites before structural damage occurs saves thousands
-
Proper identification ensures appropriate treatment—different termite species require specific approaches
-
Comprehensive documentation supports insurance claims and property transactions
-
Preventative recommendations help eliminate conditions that attract termites

Visual Termite Inspections
​
At Pacific Pest Solutions, our comprehensive visual termite inspections involve a meticulous examination of your entire property by our highly trained technicians. These thorough assessments include detailed inspection of all accessible areas including the building perimeter, subfloor spaces, roof voids, internal living areas, and external structures.
Our experts are specifically looking for visible signs of termite activity such as mud tubes, damaged timber, hollow-sounding wood, and termite leads. We carefully document our findings with photographs and provide you with a detailed report highlighting any termite activity, conducive conditions, and recommended actions. This foundational inspection method remains essential for identifying current termite presence and potential risk factors on your property.

Thermal Termite Inspection​
Pacific Pest Solutions employs advanced thermal imaging technology to take termite detection to the next level. Our thermal inspections use specialised infrared cameras that detect subtle temperature variations within structures that may indicate termite colonies or moisture problems invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology allows our technicians to scan walls, ceilings, and other concealed areas without causing damage to your property, revealing potential termite activity hidden within building elements.
The thermal imaging process is particularly valuable for detecting termites in their early stages of infestation before significant structural damage occurs. When combined with traditional visual inspections and moisture meters, thermal imaging provides the most comprehensive termite detection system available, significantly increasing the accuracy of our assessments.

Professional Termite Management: What You Need to Know
​
What To Do If You Discover Termites Finding termites in your home can be alarming, but taking the right steps is crucial:
-
Contact Pacific Pest Solutions immediately for professional assessment
-
Avoid disturbing the termites or attempting DIY treatments
-
Document where you've spotted activity
-
Remember: disturbing termites causes colonies to scatter and relocate, making professional treatment more difficult
Why Professional Treatment is Essential Self-treatment of termites is strongly discouraged for several critical reasons:
-
DIY products target only visible termites, not the hidden colony and queen
-
Professional-grade termiticides are only available to licensed pest controllers
-
Termites operate hidden within walls, under floors, and inside timber elements
-
Different termite species require specific treatment approaches
-
Australian homes present unique challenges with multiple potential entry points
Fascinating Termite Facts
-
A single termite queen can live 25+ years, producing over 2,000 eggs daily
-
Coptotermes species are Australia's most economically damaging termites
-
A colony can consume up to 15 kilograms of wood annually
-
Termites work continuously—24 hours a day, 365 days a year
-
These ancient insects have existed for over 250 million years
Spotting the Warning Signs
Be vigilant for these key indicators of active termites:
-
Mud tubes on foundations, walls, or timber structures
-
Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
-
Tight-fitting doors or windows from termite-caused warping
-
Papery or bubbling paint surfaces
-
Small piles of granular termite droppings (frass)
-
Discarded wings near windowsills after seasonal swarms
