Not sure if it’s termites or ants? Our team can help identify what you’re seeing before it becomes a bigger problem.
Ideal when you want certainty – not assumptions.
It’s natural to want to act straight away – but spraying or disturbing termites can make things worse. If termites are alarmed, they instinctively retreat back to their nest and remain hidden until they feel safe again.
When this happens, even a professional Termite Technician (and you should call one) may lose the chance to correctly identify the species or locate other concealed activity throughout your home. Leaving them undisturbed ensures we can assess the full extent of the problem and treat it properly the first time.
This is why a professional termite inspection is always recommended before any treatment.
Once termites have been identified, the correct approach usually involves a termite inspection, an initial treatment, and a long-term termite management system. Learn more about each step below.
Termites are often mistaken for ants, especially when they’re pale or flying. The safest approach is not to guess — a trained termite technician can quickly identify what you’re dealing with and whether there’s any risk to your home. Check our termite ID page
A professional termite inspection removes the guesswork.
The most important thing is not to disturb them. Avoid spraying or pulling anything apart, as this can cause termites to spread and hide. Leave the area as it is and arrange a professional inspection as soon as possible.
Finding termites doesn’t automatically mean major damage, but it does mean they’re nearby. Early action allows the problem to be assessed and managed before it becomes serious.
Termites work quietly and can cause concealed damage over time if left untreated. It greatly depends on the size and maturity of the termite nest attacking your home. The good news is that when detected early and treated correctly, serious damage is often prevented.
