Mud tubes, discarded wings and damaged timber can be signs of termite activity. Photograph the evidence and arrange an inspection; not every mark confirms an active infestation.
Start with the evidence
Look at accessible wall junctions, door frames and stored timber. Keep a note of where the evidence appears. Avoid disturbing suspected tubes before the inspector has assessed them.
Look beyond the visible timber
Moisture and access routes can matter as much as the damaged wood. Share information about leaks, construction work or previous treatments.
Get a defined scope
Ask what the inspection covers, which areas need access and what follow-up is recommended. Your quote should explain treatment and any exclusions.
Make the next step a useful one.
Keep a short record of what you have noticed and ask JSS to assess the property. Your service scope, price and any treatment-specific safety instructions should be clear before work begins.
