There’s no question that Queensland, with it’s wet, hot, humid conditions is an excellent breeding ground for termites.

Considering construction types in the region mainly consist of low-set or high-set Queenslanders with timber stumps, expansive decks and often timber patio additions it’s obvious why there are increasing numbers of home owners calling on the services of pest & termite control companies.

In Brisbane alone, there are five major species of termites wreaking havoc:

Schedorhinotermes intermedius, Coptotermes acinaciformis, Nasutitermes walkeri, Microcerotermes turneri & Heterotermes ferox.

We are often asked to identify whether a flying insect is a termite (see our blog on flying termites here) or whether the damage to various timbers is caused by rot or something more sinister such as termites (Image 1: Wood rot to deck, Image 2: Dry wood termite damage to tree stump).

At Conquer Termites, our technicians spend years learning how to identify the different termite species and their tell-tale signs such as the variations in their mudding, the timber damage they cause and even their smell. Luckily, we’ve been working in this area for over 10 years and have accumulated the know-how to determine the species and therefore the degree of risk to your family home or investment property.

We offer assistance with general advice, live termite checks, full termite inspections, pest control, remedial termite treatments and long term termite barrier/zone treatments - get real peace of mind, knowing you are dealing with experienced, qualified and trustworthy technicians.
