In the quiet suburb of Bibra Lake, Western Australia, a homeowner faced a daunting problem: suspected termite activity. Fearing the potential damage these tiny invaders could cause, they reached out to ABI Pest Control for professional assistance. Alex, a seasoned termite specialist from the company, promptly responded to the call, ready to provide his expertise in termite inspection.
Arrival and Initial Assessment
On a sunny morning, Alex arrived at the residence, greeted by the anxious homeowner. After a brief discussion about the observed signs of termite activity, Alex began his thorough inspection. His approach was meticulous, starting with the house’s interior. He checked the usual hotspots: skirting boards, window sills, and wooden furniture. Using specialized equipment, he probed the walls and floors for any hollow sounds that might indicate hidden termite galleries.
Discovering the Main Source
After a comprehensive internal inspection, Alex moved to the exterior of the property. He meticulously examined the garden, fence posts, and any wooden structures. His experience and keen eye soon paid off. In the backyard, near an old wooden shed, he found definitive signs of termite activity. The ground near the shed was soft and moist, ideal conditions for termites. Alex noticed mud tubes running up the side of the shed, a clear indication of termite presence.
Addressing the Infestation
Alex knew that identifying the main source of the infestation was just the beginning. To effectively eliminate the termites, he had to ensure that the entire colony was targeted. He explained to the homeowner that the termites had likely established a nest underground, using the shed as a food source.
With the homeowner’s approval, Alex began the process of applying a comprehensive termite treatment plan. He used a combination of liquid termiticides around the shed’s perimeter and installed bait stations to ensure any remaining termites would be eradicated. The bait stations were strategically placed to intercept termites as they foraged, ensuring the colony would ingest the poison and spread it back to their nest.
Ensuring Future Protection
After the treatment was applied, Alex provided the homeowner with practical advice on how to prevent future infestations. He emphasized the importance of maintaining dry conditions around wooden structures and regularly checking for signs of termite activity. Alex also recommended scheduling regular inspections to catch any potential issues early.

With the immediate threat neutralized, the homeowner felt a profound sense of relief. They expressed their gratitude to Alex for his professionalism and expertise.
