Protecting Your Property from Termite Infestation
Introduction
What are Termites?
Social insects that feed on cellulose-based
materials like wood.
Why Are Termites a Problem?
Silent destroyers of property.
Cause billions in damage annually
worldwide.
Signs of Termite
Infestation
Termites are often referred to as "silent
destroyers" because they can cause significant
structural damage before their presence
becomes obvious. Identifying early signs of
termite infestation is crucial to preventing
extensive damage. One effective way to protect
your property is by installing termite barriers
Gold Coast to act as a preventative measure.
Here are the most common indicators of termite
activity to look out for:
Hollow-Sounding Wood
One of the earliest, common signs of a termite
infestation is wood that sounds hollow when tapped.
Peeling Paint Resembling Water Damage
Peeling or bubbling paint can occur when
termites damage the wood underneath.
Discarded Wings Near Doors and Windows
Termites swarm to reproduce and establish new
colonies, and during this process, winged termites,
or swarmers, shed their wings.
Mud Tubes on Walls or Foundations
Mud tubes, also called termite tubes, are small
tunnels built by termites to protect themselves as
they move between their nest and food source.
