Termites are Australia’s #1 silent destroyer, causing more property damage than fires, floods, and storms combined! Often called “white ants,” these hidden invaders chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected—costing homeowners $1.5+ billion annually in repairs.Termites are Australia’s most destructive timber pest, causing more property damage than fires and storms combined. These silent invaders work 24/7, often undetected for years, chewing through structural timbers, flooring and even furniture. Australia has over 300 termite species, with subterranean termites being the most destructive. A mature colony can consume a house’s worth of wood in months. Warning signs include mud trails, hollow-sounding timber and discarded wings. DIY treatments fail because they miss hidden colonies – professional inspection using thermal imaging and moisture meters is essential. Our comprehensive termite management combines chemical barriers, baiting systems and annual inspections with warranty protection. Don’t wait for visible damage – by then, repairs often exceed $10,000.
