Dear All
Since I am in the pest control industry. I better do my part here.
After seeing the thread photo on building ZERO by Tony.
It reminded me to inform you guys. Subterranean Temites are real Damaging Pest around and very discreetly.
Advice ....
***NEVER ever store your boxes of planes especially balsa against the wall.
termites got the instinct to explore their food thru walls then come out from the corner or skirting and start eating the contents nearest to the walls.
Keep your hobby slightly away from the wall.
This is so because all buildings got cracks that these guys will travel.
15th floor attacked by these soil insects is a norm.
The reason why you should keep a distance away from wall is to inspect regularly. Take a peep every now and then to see if you find MUD trails from the wall to your STUFFs. If it is... high chance... At least you try to detect the earliest possible time before they really enjoy... Subterranean Termites will find more favourable at dark and lesser movement areas like stores, behind pianos..
*** If possible, stack your boxes or planes above a coffee or living room table. (metal ones)
Again this is for you to inspect/Take a peep regularly.
Never think that Subterranean Termites are Rare stuffs. Being in the Pest Control industry the level of infested calls are sizable. Only thru one company, what bout the rest of the hundred plus pest control companies..
These two advice to make sure our Precious hobby dun become honeycombed. It does not prevent them from coming into your house. It only allows you to peep at the space for any Termite Mud trails to react promptly.
Hope this msg is clear to alll.
Good day guys
