Do you know if your home is being slowly eaten by termites?
Termites (commonly known as white ants) are one of the most destructive pests in Australia. They cause millions of dollars damage to homes and structures throughout Australia every year, which is why termite protection is so important.
According to CSIRO 1 in 3 homes will be affected by termites within the economic life of the structure. Termites are found in Ceduna and throughout all of South Australia, all too often, the presence of these home invaders goes undetected until damage is discovered by chance. This damage is not covered by most insurance companies, therefore it’s best to ensure all preventative termite protection methods have been established.
How do you tell if you have termites?
Termites eat timber, hollowing it out from the inside this can cause the timber to appear like it is bubbling or wrinkled. Sometimes the termites eat through and will patch the hole up with mud. Inside a home most people find termites in flooring, skirting boards and doorframes.
