Why Australian homes need timber pest inspections
Australian homes are more prone to timber pest infestations for several reasons. The warm and humid climate of Australia creates ideal conditions for the growth and reproduction of many types of timber pests, including wood-boring insects like termites and borers, which can cause significant damage to the structural timbers of homes. Additionally, the use of timber as a building material in many Australian homes makes them more vulnerable to attack by timber pests. To protect their homes and prevent damage from timber pests, it is essential for homeowners in Australia to be vigilant and have regular timber pest inspections.
