Protect Your Home from Termites
Termites are among the most destructive pests in Australia, and they are widespread in Melbourne and throughout Victoria. Each year, termites cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to Australian homes — damages that are typically not covered by home insurance. Regular termite inspections, preventative measures, and effective treatments are essential to safeguard your home from termite infestations.
Common Signs of Termites in or Around Your Home
- Hollowed/Collapsed timbers – Termites excavate wood, often leaving only a paint-thin outside layer of wood intact, the first indication of an termite damage is the sagging of structural bearers and joists in floor or roofing timbers, or the accidental discovery of hollowed-out skirting boards or door frames.
- Presence of Alates – when a colonising flight occurs in or around the building, often before a storm or at dusk after a hot day in summer. If dead alates or their equal sized wings are found, this means where the colony is often very close.
- Termite Shelter Tubes – Almost always originating from the ground and are found on walls and foundations. These tubes protect termites from most predators and maintain high humidity and darkness during their coming and goings from the colony. Ants metal shields over the foundations may also be crossed by means of these tubes.
- Other Presences of Termite Activity
- Flight holes in trees or arboreal nests
- Moisture – large mud-packed areas inside wall cavity
- Flight tubes on walls in a building
- Earthen packing inside or on the outer of garden woods.
