How To Kill Termites At Your Home

There’s nothing quite as damaging to a building structure as termites. These pests live to chew through wooden and plant-based materials until there’s nothing left but sawdust.

Termites caused over $100M worth of property damage in Australia last year, more than flooding, fires or cyclones, which is not covered by insurance. Termites are classified as an insect and therefore preventable damage. Regular termite inspections are one way to prevent termites, however, there is also an equally effective and affordable solution – termite bait stations.
