Emergency Guide: While You Wait In Avondale Estates
Tell everyone in the residence what was found, which rooms to avoid, and that a specialist is coming. Youngsters especially should know not to handle damaged timber or insects. A brief, calm explanation stops curious hands from disturbing the very clues the specialist needs.
If the specialist finds no current feeding, say so and ask what to watch for. Old galleries, ant damage, or damp boards can mimic an emergency, and a visit that rules out activity still has value: it names the real cause and sets a sensible watch routine for the rooms concerned.
Prevention after an emergency means fixing drips, keeping timber clear of soil, and arranging regular checks, so the next colony is caught early. Small habits count: clear debris from foundation walls, store firewood away from the residence, and keep gutters carrying water away from walls.
On the morning after the visit, walk the affected rooms slowly and look for new wings, pellets, or tunnels, without moving treated boards or stations. Note anything changed since the specialist left, and telephone with that update rather than waiting for the scheduled follow-up if fresh activity is obvious.
