Subterranean termites or "white-ants" are a fascinating yet highly destructive timber pest, causing major structural timber damage to domestic and commercial buildings in the leichhardt Council Region.
BEWARE Home Insurance does NOT cover termite damage to structural or other timbers inside a residential or commercial property, which could be severe • the replacement cost of termite infested structural timbers in the roof and wall may exceed $50,000.
Most homes are at high risk in the leichhardt Council Area - particularly in medium to high density areas where well established gum trees are within a 100 metre radius of the building.
The wide use of landscaping timbers and garden mulch also dramatically increases the risk. Many of the older style homes, built low to the ground, with poor ventilation, are ripe for subterranean termite attack and should be protected by Termite Preventive Barrier to AS.3660 using Termidor ... more details. |
