24.01.2022 Ipswich traditionally has many beautiful heritage homes and most of these are located on hardwood timber stumps. There is a common misnomer that termites don't damage hardwood. Well, incredibly a lot of these stumps while up to 100 years old or more and incredible hard, are still damaged by termites.

15.01.2022 A call out last week to a Pole home in Mt. Crosby found termites gaining access to the home via a Pine CCA treated post. While the termites might not damage the Treated post externally. Termites can still use the cracks in the post and other timbers abutting the post to access the home. Ant capping is not used in this style of building.

09.01.2022 Termites on the move. From experience, after prolonged dry spells, as soon as we start to have consistent rain periods, termite activity becomes more apparent. This is often because termites have too much moisture in their workings and will bring their nesting to the surface to stabilise the nest moisture level, essentially drying it out. Over the next couple of weeks it is time to walk around looking for mounds and termite activity particularly around trees, and in gardens. Lift up and timber stored on the ground. If you notice something you are concerned about, please contact us.

06.01.2022 With the weather cooling down shortly, those lucky enough to have fireplaces might be organising their firewood to be delivered. Ensure the Firewood is stored up off the ground away from the home. Termites love when we prepare a meal of wood close to the home for them, like at this home in Ipswich yesterday.
