Staying vigilent for timber pests for your Australian home
Homes in Australia are particularly prone to timber pest infestations due to the country’s warm and humid climate, which is ideal for many types of these pests. Australia is also home to a range of wood-boring insects, like termites and borers, that can damage the structural timbers of houses. Additionally, many homes in Australia are constructed using wood, which is vulnerable to attack by timber pests. To safeguard against these pests, it is essential for homeowners to be vigilant and to have regular inspections to identify and prevent damage.
