π¨ Could Your Property Have Termites? Know the Warning Signs! π¨
Termites are often called the silent destroyers because they can cause significant damage before you even realise theyβre there.
Here are some common tell-tale signs we look for during inspections:
βοΈ Damaged or hollow-sounding timber
If timber sounds hollow when tapped or appears weak, termites may already be feeding inside.
βοΈ Small holes or unexplained timber damage
Tiny openings in timber beams, skirting boards, or frames can indicate termite activity beneath the surface.
βοΈ Mud trails or termite workings
Termites build protective mud tunnels to travel safely between their nest and food source. These are a major red flag.
βοΈ Tight doors or warped frames
Moisture from termite activity can cause timber to swell and distort.
βοΈ Discarded wings
Flying termites (swarmers) often leave wings behind near windows, doors, or light sources.
Donβt wait until visible damage becomes costly repairs. Early detection is the best protection.
