INVASIVE TERMITE INSPECTION DOOLANDELLA
Our client had an electrician drop by to install a new oven. Getting a new appliance installed is always a good feeling, right? Things didn’t quite go as planned.
Upon removing the old oven, the electrician discovered termites.
The homeowner contacted us and our pest technician, Brett, who is always keen to deal with termites was dispatched to deal with them.
Whilst the electrician had already made an opening in preparation for the new oven install, Brett had to remove more drywall to see the extent of the termite infestation. This is what is called an Invasive Termite Inspection.
This revealed the extent of damage. The infestation was mostly concealed.
The kitchen looked neat, clean and, well-maintained but what lay behind the tiles, pantry, and appliances was another story.
As Brett cut drywall in the pantry and other areas, the full extent of the infestation came to light. The termites had snaked their way to the pantry and around the wastewater stack enclosed in the pantry to the tiled wall behind the bench and stovetop.
Brett carried out a foam treatment to eradicate the termites. He will follow up at that time to ensure the active termites have been eradicated.
With regards to termites, it is definitely best to err on the side of caution and have regular inspections.
