Identifying the species is most important.

The property owner does not need to know what species of termite is attacking the house but will be informed on what species are located so that they understand each species has many different attributes, behaviours and implications of treatment.The following is a short list of some important referances to consider before, during and after the Inspection.

1. Location and the intensity of numbers of termites.
2. Which species is present.
3. Are there more then one species present.
4. What are the food source preferances.
5. What is the food source.
6. Is food source softwood or hardwood
7. What conditions are increasing the rate of attack.
8. Where is their water source.
9. Can a nest be discovered
10. Where is the nest either positively or suspected to be.
11. Is the species a hardwood or softwood preferred species
12. Is the species a hardwood species ony.
13. Is there concealed entry points.
14. Is a nest or sub nest likely to be within the structure
15. Estimate the duration of time in the structure.

The list goes on and everthing has to be considered during the Inspection, Reporting, Recommendations and Treatments. Unless all detail is gathered it would be impossible to advise on what Treatment should be carried out. Every Termite attack has to be addressed upon its own merits. No two attacks are the same.
