Home » Library » Termites

Termites are a significant concern in South East Queensland (SEQ) due to the region’s warm and humid climate, which provides ideal conditions for these pests. The most common and destructive termite species in SEQ include Coptotermes acinaciformis and Schedorhinotermes intermedius. These subterranean termites build extensive underground colonies that can house hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Termites are often referred to as “silent destroyers” because they can cause substantial damage to wooden structures, furniture, and other cellulose-based materials without being detected. They feed on wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer intact, making infestations difficult to spot until significant damage has occurred. This can result in costly repairs and severe structural damage to homes and buildings.

Preventative measures are crucial for managing termite risks in SEQ. Homeowners should consider regular termite inspections by qualified pest control professionals, who can detect early signs of termite activity and implement control measures. Using termite-resistant building materials, installing physical barriers, and applying chemical treatments around properties are effective strategies to deter termite infestations.

Despite their destructive nature, termites play an essential ecological role by breaking down dead wood and returning nutrients to the soil. In forested areas, they contribute to the decomposition process, promoting soil health and plant growth. Balancing their ecological benefits with the need to protect human structures is key to managing termites in SEQ.
