You may have heard the statistic that 1 in 3 homes will be attacked by termites within its lifetime, which is more than fire & flood combined. It is worth noting because it is a very unsettling statistic. It is also very true. The most important thing in any termite inspection or pre-purchase inspection is identification. Many species of termite do not require treatments as they are grass feeders or feed on specific decaying wood. These termites play an important role in the environment as they will convert fallen trees into organic matter & minerals.

There has been many times when a homeowner has mistaken ants for termites. The carpenter ant has been known to occupy similar environments as some species of termites in decayed timber. This insect will not attack sound timbers but it is still very unsettling for any homeowner to see an insect harbouring inside timbers within the home that have become or are becoming decayed. So as you can see it is very important to know what we are dealing with. Termites are primitive insects. They live in colonies that can populate into the millions. A colony consists of several categories or castes. The following information refers to the family of termites Termitidae & Rhinotermitidae.
