Termite Control & Extermination
Termites work silently around the clock -- eating through your homes structure while remaining invisible. Early professional treatment is the only reliable defence.
South Africas Most Destructive Pest
Termites cause more structural damage to South African properties than fires and floods combined -- and most home insurance policies specifically exclude termite damage. A single mature colony can contain several million workers eating 24 hours a day, and infestations typically go undetected for months or even years before visible damage appears.
Gautengs summer rainfall season is prime termite swarming time -- flying alates (winged termites) emerge in large numbers to establish new colonies. If you see flying termites or discarded wings near windows and lights, a colony is already established nearby.
Eco Pest Controls specialist termite team uses the latest detection methods and treatment systems to eliminate termite colonies completely and protect your property long-term.
Termite Species We Treat
Subterranean Termites
The most destructive and common in Gauteng. They live underground in large colonies and build mud tunnels to reach timber above ground. They attack structural timber, flooring, door frames, and any cellulose material. A single colony can contain millions of workers.
Dry-Wood Termites
Live entirely within timber -- no soil contact needed. Found in furniture, door and window frames, roof trusses, and structural wood. Often introduced via infested second-hand furniture. Identified by pellet-shaped frass (droppings) near infested timber.
Signs of Termite Activity in Your Property
How We Eliminate Termites
Chemical Soil Barrier
Liquid termiticide injected into the soil around and beneath the foundation -- creates a barrier that kills termites on contact and prevents re-entry. Effective for 5-10 years.
Termite Baiting System
Bait stations placed around the perimeter. Termites carry the bait back to the colony, eliminating the entire colony including the queen. Ideal for sensitive environments.
Reticulation System
A network of perforated pipes installed beneath slabs that can be recharged with termiticide as needed -- long-term protection for new and existing buildings.
Spot Treatment
For dry-wood termites -- targeted injection of termiticide directly into infested timber, eliminating the colony without disrupting the rest of the property.
