Termites Specialist

Termites are increasingly causing major structural damage to buildings throughout Australia and striking fear into the hearts of homeowners.

With the home so often the major family asset, and termite infestation being essentially uninsurable, homeowners are desperately seeking reliable protection against termites.

The great majority of termites in Australia live in the soil, depending on the soil and its associated moisture content for survival. These species are known as subterranean termites,and usually do not attack sound dry wood, preferring damp, damaged timber.

Termites have a highly developed social organization, resembling that of the ants and bees, living in colonies, numbering from a few hundred to millions. In each colony there is a division of labour, with several distinct castes, each specializing in a particular activity.
