Termite Pest Control In Bathurst Lithgow and Oberon

 Termites
(or ‘white Ants’ as they are often called) are not ants. Termites have a highly developed social organization, which, in many ways, resembles
that of the ants and bees. All known species live in colonies, numbering from a few hundred to millions. In each colony there is a division of labour, with several distinct castes, each specializing in a particular activity. The great majority of termites in Australia live in the soil. In fact, they depend on the
soil and its associated moisture content for survival. Those species that live in the soil, are known as subterranean termites.

Termites’ diet consists mostly of cellulose, which is obtained from a variety of sources such as living trees, seasoned timber, books, grasses, etc.
Termites attack untreated wood, and usually by the time their work is visible, the timber is virtually eaten away.

Subterranean termites gain entry in homes and buildings in a number of ways e.g.

• By constructing mud tubes over masonry piers and foundation walls
• By crawling under bricks where the slab edge is buried and then into cavity walls
• Through hairline cracks which appear in concrete slabs around plumbing and electrical conduits.
