Termite Management

We Perform Termite Control in Lake Macquarie

The Truth About Termites

Termites are fascinating creatures that have their place in the ecosystem – just not in our buildings. Benefit Pest Management provides termite control around Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast and the Hunter and Newcastle regions.

While termites are also called white ants, they’re not actually related to ants at all but are more closely related to cockroaches. Termites play a valuable role in nature by breaking down timber and aerating the soil. They are attracted by carbon dioxide which is typically found in decayed timbers and damp areas.

We recommend an annual termite inspection and treatment as part of your pest control program to ensure that termites remain where they belong. At Benefit Pest Management we not only eradicate your pest problem but we also have a large range of preventative measures including baiting, monitoring programs, trench and flood treatments and more! Speak with us today to arrange an inspection. We service properties in Lake Macquarie, Gosford, Tuggerah, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens, Singleton, Scone, Cardiff, Belmont and surrounds.

How to Tell if You Have Termites

It can be difficult to know if termites are eating you out of your house. At Benefit Pest Management, we know what to look for and what to do if termites are located.

Take a look outside. If you’ve noticed a trail of mud stain around brickwork, then it is a sign that termites have found an entry point into your home or business.

These insects are very adept at hiding their activities. Bubbling on paintwork on interior timber surfaces such as skirting boards or architraves could be an indication that termites have eaten them away.

If you’ve noticed these two signs, we recommend contacting us immediately for a thorough inspection. Don’t try to deal with the issue yourself by spraying or disrupting their present location. Disturbing termites risks spreading the insects to other areas of the house.
