The fear of invading termites is enough to fill most home owners with dread, yet they are a very real threat in a tropical climate like Australia. Unfortunately the story typically goes that by the time you notice termite damage, there is already an infestation. The trick is protecting your home in order to avoid such a situation and the most effective way to prevent an infestation is to hire a professional pest inspector.
In the meantime, watch out for:
- Mud tubes outside of your property. This is how termites travel to and from the nest
- Structural issues. I.e., sagging walls, floors or roofs, brittle skirting boards or broken cornices
- Mud splatters. These may be present where termites have attempted to stop air flow into their hive
