What Are Subterranean Termites?

Subterranean termites are a type of termite that live in underground colonies and feed on cellulose-based plant materials, including the structural timbers of buildings. They can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, making them a significant pest in many areas.

The various species of subterranean termites do more damage than any other termite types found in Leura.

Termite Damage And Repairs.

Termites can cause significant damage to structures by feeding on wood, paper, and other cellulose-based materials. The damage is often not visible until it has become extensive and costly to repair. Signs of termite damage include swarming termites, mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, and the presence of wings shed by swarming termites.

Repairs for termite damage can be extensive and costly. The extent of the damage and the type of repair needed will depend on the severity of the infestation and the type of termites involved. In some cases, minor damage can be repaired with wood fillers or patching. More extensive damage may require the removal and replacement of damaged wood and the implementation of a termite control program to prevent future infestations.

In addition to repairing damage, it is important to implement measures to prevent future infestations, such as proper storage of wood, regular inspections, and the use of physical or chemical barriers. Hiring a professional pest control company for a termite inspection and treatment is recommended to ensure that the problem is thoroughly and effectively addressed.

Subterranean termites build elaborate tunnels or “mud tubes” that allow them to find food and to avoid contact with daylight.
With their saw-like crushing jaws, these voracious insects eat wood fragments one-by-one, until they’ve done Major damage to a building, even to the point of that the structures can collapse.

Termites Have Excellent Appetites

Yes, termites, especially subterranean termites, have a voracious appetite for wood and other cellulose-based materials. They work together in large colonies to consume these materials, which can lead to significant structural damage if left uncontrolled. In order to prevent damage from termites, it’s important to take preventive measures, such as removing sources of moisture, sealing cracks and crevices, and regularly inspecting your home for signs of infestation.

How much damage they can do depends on the type and size of the termite, and how long you had termites. They can eat up to two to three times their body weight every day.

Since subterranean termites live where moisture is available, they’re most likely to cause the most damage in and around Sydney homes, as we love are gardens and our landscaping, and so do TERMITES.

Most of the time, you won’t have a clue until the damage is already done

Where Can I Find Termite Damage On My Property?

It’s a smart idea to inspect your property periodically looking for signs of termite infestations here are a few signs to look for:

1. Swollen or warped doors, windows, or flooring.
2. Hollow or blistering wood.
3. Discarded wings from swarmers
4. Frass (termite droppings).
5. Mud tubes on walls or foundations.
6. Uneven or sagging floors.
7. Tiny holes in wooden structures.
8. Walls can smell like mould or damp.
9. Mud tubes along walls and the foundation.
10. Soft or patterns in floors and walls.

Termite Swarmers

Termite swarmers are the reproductive individuals of a termite colony that fly out to start new colonies. They have wings and are typically about 1/2 inch long. When termites swarm, it’s a sign that the colony is mature and has reached a high population density.

If you see termite swarmers in your home or around your property, it’s important to have a professional inspect the area to determine the extent of the infestation and to recommend appropriate treatment options.

Swarmers’ reproductive capabilities enable them to become queens and kings of future termite colonies.

They have wings, and thus their ability to swarm as part of the termite mating process.
Swarms of alates flying from the colony (usually in October/ December) and then can also be noted Mid-January to Early March.
While it’s true that alates swarming can be quite a site to see, especially if they’re inside you home, this may mean your too late and the damage is done.

The alates are not the termites that eat the wood in your home. Those are the worker termites.

A termite swarm is 99% evidence of an infestation in your home. Just Killing the alate swarmers won’t take care of your termite problem.

If you see swarmers outside or around your home, there is a nest or colony nearby—which means you need to call professional termite inspector,
