Have you just discovered your home has been invaded by white ants? White ant inspections, treatments and pest control plans are our specialities. We know how stressful it can be to discover an infestation on your property. The last thing you want is to choose a treatment that does not provide the best results. We have seen many cases where the species was incorrectly identified and, as a result, the incorrect treatment was provided. Each case is different, depending on the type of home you have and the species of white ant you are dealing with.
If you need fast and effective white ant pest control in and around Sydney then, give us a call.
There is no difference between white ants and termites. They are the same insect but the names, ‘white ants’ and ‘termites’ are used interchangeably(*1).
Interestingly, white ants (termites) are in no way related to ants(*1). They are more closely related to cockroaches. One thing termites and ants have in common is their caste structure. Like ants, they are a social insect with kings, queens, workers, and soldiers. Termite fossils date back 100 million years, making them the oldest insects with a caste system(*2). Being that old, it is no wonder they are so good at adapting and surviving!
