I've Found Live Termites
Finding live termites on your property can be alarming, but don't panic. The most important thing is to avoid disturbing them. Disturbing termites causes them to retreat deeper into your home and makes treatment harder. Follow the three steps below to deal with the problem effectively.
Step 1: Exterminate the Live Termites
The first priority is eliminating the active termite colony. Bait systems are one of the most effective methods because termites carry the treatment back to the nest, wiping out the entire colony including the queen. Liquid termiticides can also be applied to the soil around your home to create a lethal barrier.

Step 2: Treat the Affected Areas
Once the colony is under control, treat the affected areas to eliminate any remaining termites and protect the surrounding timber and soil. A liquid termiticide applied to the soil creates a residual barrier that continues working long after application.

Step 3: Prevent Future Infestation
After treatment, put a permanent prevention system in place so termites cannot return. A combination of in-ground bait stations, soil treatment, and sealing entry points gives your property ongoing protection and gives you early warning if termites come back.
