Termites are insects that infest your house and surroundings in their thousands or even millions and tear down all of your wooden furniture or as many as they can before they are caught.
When you suspect you have these creatures walking your house freely, there are many things you can do that will either reinforce your support of these white ants or ensure they are kicked out.
If you choose the former (reinforce their support), then all you have to do is ignore them.
Sit in your house and forget that termites ravage your wooden furniture, tearing it to pieces.
The only problem is, you won’t be able to sit for long before they come for your chair too.
However, you can ensure these creatures are wiped out.
If that is the case, the first thing you need to do is a termite inspection.
What is a termite inspection?
A termite inspection is simply a visual inspection of every suspected termite-infested area in your home and surroundings.
Professional inspectors look out for your wooden furniture by conducting a strategic and comprehensive inspection of the interior and exterior of your property to check if any termite activity exists.
A termite inspection is a significant part of dealing with termite infestation and should be done to ensure that these unruly insects are at least on their way out of your house.
Thorough termite inspection includes checking the basement, ceiling, backyard, garden and tree areas, and any wooden space where these insects could be hiding.
What else is involved in a termite inspection?
Sometimes, just doing a visual termite inspection won’t cut it. You must go deeper than using your natural naked eyes to determine if termites are in a specific place.
You can use other methods to bring these creatures out of their hideout, and the most common is thermal detection.
Using thermal imagery, you can detect the heat given off by termites in their hiding places.
Thermal termite detection might not be as cheap as standard visual detection, but nobody can deny that it is the most effective form of detecting these insects.
Wherever they may be hiding, using thermal imagery, you can get them out easily and start the process of burning them out without any stress.
Also, with this method (thermal termite detection), you do not have to open places and dismantle your wooden furniture in your home to get a good view to see if it is termite infested.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you find professionals who can work using thermal imagery to make your termite inspection process swift and easy.
How long does it take to do a termite inspection?
A standard termite inspection (comprehensive, for that matter) does not need to take long. You can get your termite inspection done easily within a good hour of work.
