Termites

Do You Still Need a Termite Inspection in Winter?

Termite activity slows in cooler months, but colonies remain active below ground and inside insulated parts of the structure.

Termites don't disappear in winter

While surface activity can appear to slow during cooler months, subterranean termite colonies remain active underground and inside warmer, insulated parts of a structure such as subfloors and roof voids, where temperatures stay more stable year-round.

Why winter is actually a good time to inspect

A winter inspection can catch damage or activity that built up unnoticed over the warmer months, before it progresses further. It also means any treatment or barrier work is in place well ahead of the spring activity increase.
