TERMITES, HOW TO ERADICATE THEM
Australia is home to over 300 termite species. A common termite found all across Australia is Coptotermes. This termite has destructive eating patterns. They are often found inside buildings eating the wooden foundational structures. This termite will use tree stumps, floor supports, patio structures, timber framed walls or just about anything suitable,to feed and house their colony. Every year, there is a tonne of damage done by termites. According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), approximately 32 percent of all houses in Australia currently have some termite activity, or about 130,000 homes per year, which is a remarkably high amount.
There are a few ways to spot an infestation, be on the lookout for mud shelter tubes that termites build for protection. Cracked or bulging paint, fine outline of tunnel tracks in panel walls and timber that sounds hollow.
