Termites are more common than many people think. In Australia, it’s estimated that one in three homes will experience a termite problem at some point. Unlike other pests, termites don’t make themselves obvious—they work quietly, hidden behind walls, floors, and foundations. By the time visible signs appear, the damage is usually already severe and costly.

A termite inspection is your first line of defence. Professional inspectors know exactly what to look for and use specialised tools to detect even subtle signs of termite activity. Early detection saves you money, stress and ensures your home stays safe and sound.

Signs You Might Have Termites

While inspections are the best way to identify termites, there are a few signs you can watch for:

• Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
• Mud tubes along walls, foundations, or fences
• Discarded wings near windows and doors
• Small piles of frass (termite droppings)
• Sagging floors or hard-to-open windows and doors
  

If you notice any of these, it’s time to act fast.
