Problems with termites?
Termites are considered to be amongst the most destructive pests in the world.

- Look for termite mud tubes (tubes built from dirt and other materials) in sub-floor area, foundations, skirting boards, cornices, mouldings and roof timbers.
- Soft floor boards, bulging, staining or rippling of painted timbers.
- Bits of dried mud falling from joints in walls when tapped.
- Some species of termites make a “clicking” noise which is usually heard at night time.
Potential Harm
Untreated infestations can cause:
- Expensive timber damage and repair costs.
- Home insurance does not cover termite damage ( the risk is too high, and too costly).
- Termites can be hard to detect and can gain entry to homes, building and structures via underground tunnels originating from the nest (which can be up to 100m away).
