Dampwood termites can cause serious damage to homes and businesses in Sydney, especially in areas with high moisture or humidity. Unlike subterranean termites, they don’t require soil contact and instead infest damp, decaying timber. They often go undetected until the damage is extensive, leading to costly repairs. At Iconic Pest Solutions, we use advanced detection techniques and eco-friendly treatments to eliminate dampwood termites before they compromise your property. Our experienced pest control technicians provide effective solutions to protect your home, ensuring long-term prevention and peace of mind.

Identification & Detection of Dampwood Termites

Acoustic Detection

Dampwood termites create faint clicking and scratching sounds while feeding inside timber. We use advanced acoustic sensors that detect termite activity without invasive procedures. This method is particularly effective for identifying infestations behind walls or beneath flooring.

Moisture Meters

Dampwood termites live in wood that has a high moisture content. We measure timber with moisture meters to find areas where termites are likely to be active. This non-invasive tool can help identify potential infestations early before damage is visible.

Borescope Inspection

A borescope is a compact camera that can be poked into small holes in walls, flooring, or timber to check for termites. Our X-ray technology enables our team to gauge the infestation without your home sustaining unnecessary damage.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras find heat differences in structures. Active termite colonies produce heat, resulting in recognizable “hotspots” in infested lumber. The use of this method is very efficient in detecting hidden infestations of termites that normal inspections would fail to find.

Visual inspections

Our licensed pest control experts conduct thorough visual inspections to identify common signs of dampwood termites, including hollow-sounding wood, frass (termite droppings), damaged timber, and shed wings.

What our clients say about us

Where Do These Dampwood Termites Live?

Learn More

Timber Framing

Dampwood termites are drawn to exposed structural timber, especially wood that has been compromised by leaky roofs, faulty plumbing, or poor ventilation. If left unchecked, they weaken the load-bearing structures, compromising the structural integrity of your home.

Wooden Furniture & Flooring

These termites burrow deep into furniture, floorboards, and skirting boards, gradually weakening the internal structure. Water-damaged or untreated timber is especially vulnerable, so addressing moisture issues is key to preventing infestations.

Exterior Wood Trim & Siding

Outdoor wooden structures, including decks, fences, and cladding, are highly susceptible to dampwood termite activity, particularly when in direct contact with soil or moisture. If left untreated, termites migrate indoors, increasing the risk of severe infestations.

Suspect Termites in Your Home

Termites can silently weaken the structural integrity of your home before you even notice them. Postponing treatment can lead to severe infestations, making removal more difficult and expensive. Warning signs include hollow wood, termite tunnels, discarded wings, sagging floors, and excessive moisture buildup.

At Iconic Pest Solutions, we provide same-day inspections and fast treatments to eliminate termite colonies before they spread. Our licensed professionals use advanced detection techniques to locate and remove infestations, saving you from costly repairs. Don’t wait—protect your home today!

Lifecycle of Dampwood Termites

Learn More

Egg Stage

Dampwood termite colonies begin when a breeding pair (king and queen) establishes a nest within damp, decaying wood. The queen lays eggs, which hatch within 30 to 60 days, depending on environmental conditions.

Nymphs

Once hatched, nymphs go through multiple moulting stages before developing into workers, soldiers, or winged alates. At this stage, they feed on wood, contributing to colony growth. Their ability to break down cellulose makes them highly destructive to wooden structures.

Mature Termites

Workers maintain the colony by feeding and caring for the eggs, while soldiers protect the nest from predators. Reproductive termites, or alates, develop wings and swarm to establish new colonies, further spreading the infestation.

Colony Growth

Dampwood termites form large colonies that expand over months or years, leading to extensive wood damage. If left untreated, infestations can spread to multiple sections of a home, weakening its structural integrity.

Eliminate Termites With Iconic Pest Solutions

Learn More

Fumigation

Fumigation is a highly effective method for severe infestations. A specialised gas penetrates deep into the wood, killing termites at all life stages and ensuring complete eradication.

Heat Treatment

This eco-friendly approach eliminates termites without chemicals. By raising the temperature in the infested area to lethal levels, termites are eradicated without harming the surrounding environment.

Termiticide Treatments

We apply targeted termiticides to infested wood, killing termites on contact and creating a chemical barrier to prevent re-infestation.

Baiting Systems

Our bait stations use slow-acting toxic substances that termites carry back to their colonies, gradually eliminating the entire population over time.
