Termite Inspection

This promises to be a record-breaking year for termites, according to an LSU Ag Center termite specialist. Gregg Henderson, urban entomology and termite specialist, said he documented 1,700 termites in one light trap on May 11 -- the most he has ever seen in his nearly 30 years of tracking termites.

Last Friday I was called by a customer in Glen Waverley for an urgent termite inspection to a house that owner noticed that the floor in the master bedroom is loose and getting worst near the extension on the fence line, where the roof is leaking water through the walls.

It is estimated one in five homes in Australia is treated for termite damage at some stage of its life and it means around 130,000 buildings each year. There are approx. 350 species of termites in Australia; fortunately only about 20 species can damage timber in houses. Another name commonly used in Australia is ‘white ants’ because of their creamy colouring and ant-like appearance.
