Termites... What to look for!!
* Mudding - Termites use their saliva to glue these tunnels together for travel.
* Swarmers - You may notice winged adult termites.
* What they eat - they don't just eat away at structural timbers: they can also chomp
their way through furniture, paper products, fabrics, clothing, footwear and even
non- cellulose materials like soft plastics, building sealants and rigid foam
insulation.
* Hollow-sounding timber (meaning they've eaten away at the timber).
* Sagging floors or doors.
* Easily-damaged skirting boards, door jams or architraves (because termites take
away the structural integrity of timber, a small knock to these areas can cause
damage).
