Termites
Queensland Building Authority services # 739 420 On this page I will only briefly touch on what termites are and their habits.
Termites or more commonly known as white ants (this description is inaccurate as they are no relation to ants at all) are a potentially home destroying insect. One in three homes will be infested by them in its life time. You as a home owner can not be complacent or you could pay a hefty price. Termites are capable of severe structural damage within as little as three months. Of course each individual case is different and depends on species and other factors just how much damage can occur.
I have unfortunately dealt with houses that engineers have recommended to bulldoze due to termite damage. This experience is heart wrenching and is something I am working very hard to eradicate from our industry. A slab on ground house is the easiest house for termites to access but all fairly easy for termites to attack. The latest figures suggest that the annual cost of termite infestation in this country now exceeds one billion dollars. With the average individual amount of damage now approaching the $10,000.00 mark.
Termites are a social insect living in colonies sometimes in excess of 1,000,000 individual termites. The worker termite is responsible for feeding the colony looking after the royal chamber and they are the culprit that causes all the damage to your home. Please take the time to read each section carefully and we will help you cut through the bull and make an informed decision on who will be undertaking your termite management. You need some one you can have faith in and you know will give you a fair go.
