FAQ

What conditions do Termites love?

Damp areas that provide soft timber for them to eat

Why is South East Queensland so high risk for termites?

SEQ is one of the highest-risk regions in Australia due to a combination of factors: a warm, humid climate that termites thrive in; clay-heavy soils that retain moisture; abundant native and ornamental timber trees; and a large proportion of older timber-framed homes. Species like Coptotermes are highly active throughout the region.

Can termites damage a brick home?

Yes. While termites cannot eat brick or concrete, almost all brick homes in SEQ use internal timber framing, floor joists, roof trusses, and wall plates, all of which are prime termite targets. Termites enter through expansion joints, weep holes, plumbing penetrations, and soil-to-timber contact points. Brick veneer homes are just as vulnerable as weatherboard homes internally.
