Ant cap compromise
Ant capping must be fitted with out any gaps or breaks that termites can access.
Ant capping won't stop termites but it is a visual deterrent which the termites must climb over therefore exposing their mud trails and their activity.
It can not be understated the importance of visual inspections around the property regularly.
Low set houses are particularly vulnerable due to the limited access in the sub floor.
Regular pest inspections and treatments by licenced professionals are essential.
Regular building inspections are important especially in rental properties, where the house holders may not be as vigilant as the owners, in detecting any discrepancies in the building.
