Have you seen a termite that is flying around your area? Do you know how this flying insect looks like and why this kind of insect is spreading?
According to our source, flying termites are winged insects that consume plant materials based on cellulose. These pests can cause structural damage to any property. Your furniture, any door, floor, or window frame can be feeding areas for termites. This article discusses ways to identify and recognise termite damage and protect your property from flying termites or termites, in general, destroying your property.
Once thought that termites had a particular season, they would be more active, but we have seen termites active all year round in Canberra. When we were initially locked down with COVID19, we had people working from home who were renovating, and that was when property owners discovered either flying termites or live termites that they had not noticed before.
In reality, if the property owners were not home renovating due to COVID19, they would not know they had termites silently attacking their property, causing more damage the longer the termites went undetected.
Termites grow their colonies in trees where the Queen termite is capable of producing up to 30,000 live termites a day! And of course, with this number of hungry termites in the nursery, the job of the soldier termite who can travel up to 60 meters from the nest in an effort to find timber to feed the growing number of baby termites.
Did you know that termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fires, floods, and other natural disasters?
FLYING TERMITES or sometimes known as flying ants are an indication that termites are in the area. In that case, this should alert you as a warning sign of two potential dangers:
- That you have termites in close proximity
- The flying termites are looking to start a new colony.

1. Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is the latest technology to pick up body heat and movement from termites. It will pick up plumbing and electrical issues, which is a bonus for people buying a property to be aware of any costly problems before purchasing a property.
2. Visual Inspections
This requires using various tools to look for abnormalities in the support beams, plate, door, wall, floor, and window frames. Like thermal imaging, the visual inspection will go outside and check the property’s exterior, garage, fence line, and trees.
With the inspections come recommendations on their findings to fix problem areas that can attract termites.
