All Round Building and Pest’s Frequently Asked Questions about Termites and Termite Control
Q. Everything looks OK, how do I know if I have termites?

A. You may not see any signs of termites until it’s too late. The only way you can be really sure you don’t have termites is to have an annual Timber Pest Inspection by a qualified timber pest inspector.


Q. What’s the first step?

A. The first step is a thorough, detailed, systematic inspection of your home.


Q. How long does it take?

A. Depending on the site, the first inspection for timber pests will take between 1 and 1.5 hours


Q. Will I get value for money?

A. What is your home worth? Can you afford to not give your home a yearly safety check. It’s a critical part of maintaining your home. Contact our office for a free phone/email quotation.


Q: How long before the treatment takes effect?

A: This once again varies depending what type of pest you are having treated. For more information on this please call the office to speak to our consultants. For some insects such as cockroach’s you may see more activity after the treatment as they come out of their hiding places to die.


Q: Are termites and white ants the same thing?

A: Yes, they are the same pest, they just happen to be known by two different names and therefore the treatment and prevention of these pests are the same.


Q: Will the rats/mice die inside my house?

A: This is a difficult question to answer however in our experience the likelihood of this is low.
