🚨🐜 TERMITE FLIGHT ALERT! 🐜🚨
Melbourne homeowners, did you notice flying insects around your home last night? 👀
With the warmer weather arriving, we experienced a termite flight last night! 🌤️
You may have noticed swarms of flying insects gathering around outdoor lights, windows or your property.
⚠️ These could have been termite alates! Also known as winged reproductive termites, alates leave established colonies in search of a new place to start a colony — potentially YOUR home! 🏡
🔎 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
✅ Don't just spray them! Killing the flying termites won't eliminate the colony they came from.
✅ Switch off unnecessary outdoor lights to help reduce attraction during future flights.
✅ Look for warning signs such as discarded wings, mud tubes or hollow-sounding timber.
✅ Book your annual termite inspection! If it's been over 12 months since your last inspection, now is the perfect time.
🐜 DID YOU KNOW?
Termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage before homeowners even realise they're there!
🛑 A termite flight doesn't necessarily mean your home has termites, but it's a timely reminder to stay protected!
Let the team at Pest Police Australia help protect your biggest investment with a professional termite inspection.
