    Termite Wood Damage

    Why Termite Protection Matters

    Most homeowners don’t realise how vulnerable their property is until termite damage becomes visible. Whether it’s swelling floorboards, hollow‑sounding timber, or detached skirting, you’ll want a professional on the job as soon as possible. When termites are found, do not disturb them. Instead call us immediately to speak to one of our termite experts or request a free quote today.

    Recognising the Signs of Termite Infestation

    Identifying termite activity early can save thousands in repair costs. Key signs to watch for include:

    • Swarming insects or discarded termite wings near window frames or doorways.
    • Brown mud tubes on interior or exterior walls. These are built by subterranean termites to safely move between soil and your home.
    • Hollow‑sounding timber when knocked, sagging floors or visible warping around skirting boards and door/ window frames.

    If you spot any of these clues, call us immediately. The longer termites go unchecked, the greater the structural damage risk.

    Advanced Termite Treatment Options

    We offer a full range of modern termite treatment techniques:

    • Chemical Barriers: Applied around the building perimeter, non‑repellent termiticides form an invisible shield. Termites unknowingly carry the termiticide back to the colony, producing effective elimination.
    • Baiting Systems: Stations installed around your property attract termites to consume bait and return it to the nest, gradually collapsing the colony.
    • Physical Barriers: Ideal during construction or renovations, these durable installations block termite entry points long‑term.
    • Reticulation Systems (e.g., Termguard): A network of pipes around the perimeter allows safe reapplication of protection without disturbing soil or structure.

    Learn More About Termites

    Often referred to as “white ants”, termites are actually wood eating insects. They’re related to cockroaches and feed relentlessly on timber and cellulose based materials like cardboard and paper. Australian homes face frequent termite threats due to climate, soil conditions and building construction. The key to saving on repairs is regular inspections and early detection rather than waiting until damage becomes obvious.
