Often mislabeled as “white ants,” subterranean termites are sophisticated social colonies—featuring queens, workers, and soldiers—that pose a silent, escalating threat to homes and buildings. Left unchecked, these pests can inflict severe structural harm, turning solid timber into fragile, hollow shells. Coastal communities, like those across KwaZulu-Natal, face heightened vulnerability due to dense urban development and warm, humid conditions that accelerate termite activity.
Unlike drywood pests, subterranean termites operate from hidden nests deep underground. They invade properties via mud-lined tunnels, leaving unmistakable evidence: timber riddled with soil-packed galleries, a layered “honeycomb” texture where only the soft springwood is consumed, and damage strictly aligned with the wood grain—not across it. Critically, these insects must return to their subterranean colonies to survive, making their entry points your first line of defense.
Star Fumigation’s Precision Protection
Pre-Construction Shielding (New Builds):
In KZN, proactive defense is paramount. Before pouring concrete slabs, our certified technicians saturate the foundation soil with advanced, eco-conscious termiticides. This creates an impenetrable chemical barrier, blocking termite access at the source, ensuring your new build starts life termite-free.
Remedial Eradication (Existing Structures):
When termites breach an established property, Star Fumigation deploys targeted countermeasures:
We provide fast, effective ant control and wood pest treatments to eliminate infestations at the source. Our quick-response service ensures minimal disruption while protecting your property from further damage.
