Leading Termite Inspections Melbourne And Victoria
Termites are the most destructive insect pests of houses and buildings in Australia. The incidence of infestations has increased from 3% in 1954 to above 30% currently, despite the technical advances in their detection and control.
No new property owner wants to be faced with an unexpected termite infestation and the costs involved in repairing the damage. Hidden termite damage can run into the thousands of dollars to repair. If you are buying in a designated termite-prone area it is best you book a termite inspection.
Termites Can Cause Massive Destruction to Properties
Termites can quickly damage a property. They travel considerable distances to find timber to feed on and within a short time can cause irreparable damage to timber frames, to the point of compromising structural integrity of the building.
It can be very difficult to identify a termite infestation because they travel underground and often enter a building unseen.
It’s also important to know that many financial institutions won’t lend money to purchase a property without a professional pest inspection report.
