TERMITE ATTACK
Statistically, 70% of termite infestations in Australian homes occur in the bathroom. The need for a constant supply of moisture drives termites to areas in your home that can provide this essential element.
A house we rece......ntly treated in Brookfield, Brisbane, experienced this exact problem. The owners were not aware they had termites, let alone a nest in the shower hob until some floorboards became soft and crumbly.
The big problem for you as a homeowner is that it is quite difficult to detect termites in your bathroom. Bathroom walls are usually lined with tiles and fibro board and due to the constant amount of moisture in a bathroom, the use of timber trims are usually minimized.
That is why it is important to have your house professionally inspected every 12 months (As per the Australian Standard) by a Termite Specialist that has the right tools to detect termites in difficult areas like your bathroom(s). At Stephen's Pest Control we also use moisture meters, borerscope’s, Termatrac motion detector's and thermal imaging camera’s (TIC) to assist our specialist termite inspectors whilst inspecting your home, thus providing the most thorough & detailed termite inspections in South East Queensland.
Call us now to arrange a comprehensive inspection so you have that peace of mind termites aren’t lurking in your bathroom..
