Termite Information

---

A termite infestation and associated damage can be devastating to your home or buisness. Termites are often called the “silent destroyer” because they may be secretly hiding and thriving in your home or yard without any immediate signs of damage or activity. The CSIRO reports termites cause more damage than fire and that one in five houses have termite damage with an estimated damage cost of more than 100 million every year. 

All termites consume cellulose-based materials and a termite’s mouth is capable of tearing pieces of woody material and this ability is what causes concern in our dwellings. While termite workers only measure approximately 1cm to just a few millimeters in length, their feeding habits are capable of causing costly damage to property. All homes regardless of their construction type can provide cellulose food for foraging termites. Subterranean termites will forage in a grid type pattern looking for these food or moistures sources.
