How It Works

Termite Inspections by Pest-Ex usually take 1-2 hours to complete. We inspect the external areas of your home and building for evidence of termites or areas that will attract termites.

We inspect the internal areas of your home also and use detection tools to detect termites accurately. The last part of our termite inspection includes inspection of the roof cavity as it is common for termites to access the roof area through the brick walls of your home.

Termites love moisture so we inspect for areas of moisture in or around your home also. Moisture scan tools can detect the early signs of moisture or even commonly detect termites through your walls. As termites emit a wet mud when eating timber this is the first sign we look for in the walls of your home. Plumbing or water leaks around your home will also attract termite attack. We also have access to termite motion and camera tools that detect termites behind a wall or an inaccessible area. Some common tools used for termite inspections include Termatrac (Motion sensor device) and Thermal imaging infrared cameras.

If we find termites rest assured! We have the treatment experience tools and products to eliminate them from your home correctly. We will issue a written quotation for any treatment recommendation for your consideration.

Our Methods

• Termite baits are installed around your home with an attractant for termites to enter the stations. Pest-Ex service your termite bait system regularly and apply a bait to active stations found around your home each month. Termites will feed and spread the bait back to the colony and eliminate the nest before termites access your home.
• If your home has termites internally we install termite feeding boxes to the live areas also and this speeds up the feeding process and will eliminate the termites from your home or building quickly.
• Termite baits will also eliminate future termite colonies from around your home. Termite baits are always working against the threat of termite attack and so are Pest-Ex.

• Depending on the construction methods used to construct your home will depend if it is suited to a chemical termite barrier.
• We use a slow acting chemical in the ground so termites are able to spread the product back to the nest. Cheap termite chemicals are detectable to termites and termites will go under or around the cheap products used in the soil.
• We trust and recommend only leading termite chemical companies like Bayer and BASF the world leaders in termite control products.

Know The Threat

The Philippines is home to some of the worst termite species in the world, These termites may look the same to an untrained eye but in fact termite types are actually quite different in shape and size and most can consume the timbers in your home quickly.

Termites eat wood and then digest the timber providing a food source for others and their young. They also use this mud to construct shelter tubes and mud nests under or above ground. It is common to see small mud tunnels on a wall that allow termites to feed on wall frame timbers and roofing timbers of your home. It is important if you do see a mud tunnel not to disturb it and call a professional.

It is important not to attempt DIY termite control or treatments for these reasons:

• Some homeowners will spray the termites killing 20-30 termites. A termite colony queen will lay over 2,000 eggs per day and more termites will return to the sprayed area or even worse they will retreat the area and attach another area of the home.
• Using a professional will give peace of mind knowing the colony nest is eliminated.
• All termite types are different and some are best treated by liquid non repellent chemicals and some termite types are best treated using termite bait.
