Termite bait is deployed around the structure of your house in the soil to attract termites who will feed on the bait and consume the pesticide. When a termite consumes the bait, they then carry the pesticide around with them and pass it on to other nest mates in their colony.

3 Most Common Types of Termites for Termite Treatment

Coptotermes

These subterranean termites are white, able-bodied workers who are responsible for the food and the colonies of termites. It can seriously damage any wooden structure it encounters.

Schedorhinotermes

These soldier termites are a significant pest in Australia. They like to build their nests beneath human-made structures as well as in tree stumps and in root crowns. These termites, like the timber they inhabit to be in direct contact with soil, which means the foundations of a property are their favored location, so there’s usually termite damaged wood as evidence of their existence.

Nasutitermes

These termites like to create colonies in urban areas, especially near eucalyptus trees. The colony is usually an above-ground mound and is roughly 30-75 cm high. Their mounds can be up to 100 cm wide.

In drier areas, they may nest in trees or stumps, but can sometimes be found in wall cavities or under floors. In some cases, they may even build nests underground in dry areas, only leaving bare earth over the colony.

Clues You Might Have Termites and Require Treatment

If you have termites, it can be hard to tell at first as they like to be in dark and humid environments. This means that sometimes when you do discover you have them, there could already be a lot of damage done.

You’re more likely to see the damage they have created rather than the termites themselves, so look for hollow or papery sounding timber. If your vacuum easily goes through the skirting board indicating it’s been eaten, this is also another clear sign.

They tend to leave excrement or ‘mud’ which creates a protective environment that traps moisture and heat, which in turn, makes your timber swell – lookout for swollen windows or doors which make them hard to shut or open.

Once you’ve discovered the termite holes and evidence of the termites and have been able to identify which type you may have, then is the time to call in the professionals.

Termite FAQs

Do termites fly/jump?

Yes, termites can fly, but they can’t jump as their legs aren’t made for that. The only termites which fly, however, are the reproductive adults in the colony.

What does termite damage look like?

As termites live and burrow in wood or near wood, you can usually find wood pellets near their nests. They also leave mud tubes or mounds around their nesting areas. You can also find evidence of termites when your doors or windows don’t shut correctly or if your walls or other wooden structures appear and sound hollow.

Can termites bite?

They do not bite humans – if they do, it would be by accident. They have poor vision, and you may have just gotten too close to one of the soldiers who want to protect and defend their colony.

What do termites want?

All termites want is to have shelter, food, water, and warmth. And that food is primarily wood as it gives them cellulose nourishment, which is found in wood and timber and literally anything that is made with it. Shelter can be from a property’s wooden structure to a lump of firewood in a log pile in your home. Your home and office are also warm, so are great places for them to nest in the cold months.
