Termite Threat

Subterranean

Subterranean termites live in colonies in the soil. They require moisture from the soil to survive, and can tunnel up to 100 metres to reach feeding sites. To reach food above ground, they build mud tubes to protect them from exposure to light, air and enemies.

Drywood

Found coast to coast throughout Australia, Drywood termites live inside dry wood. Their colonies can be dispersed within your home and can spread, infesting more than one area.

Dampwood

Dampwood termites exist in trees, stumps and areas where timber is in contact with moist soil. Sustained moisture supply necessary. Also occurs in wall cavities and beneath houses.

Termite detection: What are some signs of termites?

Unless there are signs of active termite infestation, you probably won’t detect termites because they forage and hang out hidden from view. The most common way of detecting termites include discarded wings. Not so obvious signs include wood that sounds hollow when tapped, cracked or bubbling paint and termite droppings that look like sawdust (frass). You may also see mud tubes that look like the image pictured above.

What do termites feed on?

They feed on cellulose-based material like wood, books, boxes and furniture. Termites are constantly foraging and have been found over 30 metres from a colony.

Why are termites a threat to my home?

Termite colonies work 24 hours a day, and signs of termite infestations can go undiscovered until serious damage is done. Because homeowners insurance typically does not cover termite damage, termite detection and continued termite treatment are the best ways to help protect your property.
