Why Act Now

Your Home Is Under Threat — Right Now

Termites are South Africa's most destructive structural pest. A mature subterranean termite colony can consume up to a kilogram of wood per day — working silently, invisibly, 24 hours a day inside your walls, floors, and roof structure. By the time visible damage appears, the structural integrity of your home may already be seriously compromised.

Most South African home insurance policies explicitly exclude termite damage. This means every rand of structural repair comes entirely out of your pocket — repairs that can easily exceed R50,000 to R500,000 for heavily infested properties. Professional treatment is not just advisable; it's essential.

Residential Termite Treatment Options

We tailor our treatment approach to your specific termite species, property type, and level of infestation. All treatments include a comprehensive inspection and written report.

Professional Termite Inspection

Soil Chemical Barrier
🌱

Soil Chemical Barrier

A chemical barrier is created in the soil around and beneath your home using Termidor® or equivalent professional termiticides. This odourless, non-repellent treatment is carried back to the colony by worker termites — achieving total colony elimination.

Termite Baiting System
🎯

Termite Baiting System

In-ground bait stations are strategically installed around your property perimeter. Worker termites carry the slow-acting bait back to the colony, eliminating the entire colony over 4–12 weeks — including the queen.

Wood Treatment & Injection
🪵

Wood Treatment & Injection

Affected timber is treated with boron-based solutions injected directly into galleries and infested wood — killing active termites, sterilising the feeding zone, and providing long-term wood protection.

Sub-Floor & Void Treatment
🧱

Sub-Floor & Void Treatment

Specialised treatment of sub-floor spaces, wall cavities, and roof voids where termites establish mud tube networks and secondary entry points. Critical for older properties with accessible sub-floors.

Early Detection

Warning Signs in Your Home

Termites are masters of concealment. By the time you notice these signs, the colony has often been established for months or years. If you spot any of these warning signals, contact us immediately for a professional assessment.

⚠️ Mud tubes running up walls, foundations, or into roof voids — pencil-thin tunnels of soil and debris.
⚠️ Hollow-sounding timber when you knock on floors, skirting boards, or door frames.
⚠️ Discarded wings near windows, lights, or doorways — a sign of a recent termite swarm.
⚠️ Bubbling or peeling paint that looks like water damage but has no moisture source.
⚠️ Small holes in timber or drywall with fine powdery residue (frass) nearby.
⚠️ Doors or windows that suddenly become difficult to open — termites cause timber to warp.

FAQ

Residential Termite Questions

Treatment costs depend on property size, termite species, and treatment type. Inspections start from R850. Soil chemical barriers start from R3,500 for smaller homes. Baiting systems are quoted from R5,500. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after an inspection — contact us to schedule yours.

A standard soil barrier treatment for an average home (200–250m²) typically takes 4–6 hours. Baiting system installation takes 2–3 hours. We can usually schedule within 3–5 business days of your enquiry.

Yes. We use SABS-registered, professional-grade termiticides applied by certified technicians following strict safety protocols. You'll be advised of any specific precautions (typically vacating the property for a few hours) before treatment begins.

For most soil barrier treatments, you'll be asked to stay away from treated areas for 2–4 hours while the product dries. We'll give you specific instructions at the time of treatment based on the product used.

Our soil chemical barriers are typically warranted for 5 years (renewable annually). Baiting systems come with an ongoing annual monitoring plan. Full warranty details are included in your written treatment report.

A properly applied soil barrier or baiting system provides excellent long-term protection. However, termite pressure in South Africa is significant, particularly in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo. Annual inspections are strongly recommended to detect any new activity early and maintain warranty validity.
