Why Termites Can Be a Concern
Termites can be difficult to notice because activity may occur within or around parts of a property that are not always visible.
Signs of termite activity can sometimes appear around timber, walls, flooring, doors, windows or other areas of a property.
Because signs can have different causes, suspected termite activity should be properly assessed rather than assumed.
Early signs may not always be obvious, which is why unusual changes around a property are worth paying attention to.
Signs That May Indicate Termite Activity
Damaged or Hollow-Sounding Timber
Changes to timber may sometimes be associated with termite activity.
Visible Mud or Sheltering Tubes
Mud or tube-like structures around parts of a property may warrant further investigation.
Changes Around Doors or Windows
Unusual sticking or changes around timber components may sometimes be associated with moisture, movement or pest activity.
Damaged Timber or Flooring
Changes to timber, flooring or other materials should be assessed to understand the cause.
Discarded Wings
Discarded wings may sometimes be noticed near areas where termite activity has occurred.
Visible Termite Activity
Seeing termites or suspected termite activity is a reason to seek professional advice.
Where Termite Concerns May Appear
Timber Structures
Pay attention to unusual changes in accessible timber around the property.
Doors & Windows
Changes around timber frames and other components may warrant further assessment.
Floors & Skirting
Unusual changes to timber flooring, skirting or surrounding areas can be worth investigating.
Outdoor Timber
Timber structures and materials around the property may also require attention.
Moisture-Prone Areas
Areas affected by moisture may create conditions that require closer attention when investigating pest concerns.
These are examples of areas where termite concerns may appear. Termite activity is not limited to these locations.

Ways to Help Reduce Conditions That May Attract Termites

Maintain Drainage
Keep drainage and water flow around the property appropriately maintained.
Reduce Timber-to-Ground Contact
Where practical, avoid unnecessary timber contact with soil and damp areas.
Keep Outdoor Areas Maintained
Keep stored timber, garden materials and other outdoor items reasonably organised.
Pay Attention to Changes
Take unusual changes to timber or other property components seriously and seek professional advice when needed.
Good property maintenance can help reduce favourable conditions, but it cannot guarantee that termites will not occur.
