What happens when Termites get into walls? - Alan Ferguson

Thu 19 Apr 2018

Alan Ferguson knows a thing or two about termites and advises that these critters crawl up the wall cavities of your home, thinking your home is one massive tree! Yes, it's something instinctively ingrained in termites and hence is a natural (and frequent) occurrence. Termites enter through the entry points outside your home, skirting points and structural areas, and will look to fill the voids within the walls. Their subterranean presence also means that you may find termites dwelling in foundational sections, made of wood of course. As they tend to migrate upwards, you'll see their population proceed through walls and roofs.

Now how do you know if termites are in your home? First and foremost, you should seek the advice of a trained and qualified pest management service to perform a thorough inspection. More obvious, however, are defamation of walls, feeling of vibrations through walls, corners of walls popping and mud appearing as mounds in certain areas of the home.

Alan proceeds to present John with a video example of termites that have taken residency behind a power point in a family home. The power point was giving the homeowner little shocks every time he needed to use it.
