Termites are beneficial to the environment as they break down detritus and add essential nutrients to the soil. However, the same feeding behaviour is harmful to our homes as it causes severe damage to our properties. Termites commonly feed on wood and can compromise the safety and strength of the structure of a home. Unfortunately, this can lead to expensive repairs – and if left untreated, the home can become unrepairable.
Besides the obvious potential damage that can be caused to timber frame homes from termite activity, there is a misconception that steel frame home cannot host termite infestations. Termites can traverse through plaster and along metal. Additionally, termites feed on wooden floors, cabinets, ceilings and wooden furniture in these homes. It is also very common to find termites in yards, including sheds, timber retaining walls, old tree stumps, pergolas and wine barrels.
Often in the initial stages, the damaged caused by the termites goes unidentified, however, later with time, considerable damage can occur. Did you know that your home insurance does not cover you for termite damage? This is why regular termite inspections and termite protection systems are essential for protecting your most important asset. We recommend to homeowners suspecting or experiencing termite infestation to contact The Local Guys – Pest Control professionals immediately. Do not try to rectify your termite issue on your own as this can become a costly mistake. If you do find termite activity on your property, it is best not to disturb them as this can cause the colony to retract, which can cause further damage elsewhere.
Termites are incredibly destructive pests, and if left untreated, can cause irreversible structural damage to homes and commercial properties. Identifying a termite problem early and hiring a pest control professional assists with fast and effective treatment.
