Subterranean termites are by far the most destructive timber pest in the world, and are responsible for causing the greatest economic losses of timber in Brisbane.

Statistics state one in tHicks Real Estatee homes in Queensland are attacked by termites.

One of the Investment Properties that we manage has had several run ins with Termites recently.

The Property Owner did not have a sound termite protection plan in place, so when the first termite attack occurred, they treated attack and hoped that was going to be enough.

Unfortunately the termites came back again after a few months and then again 12 months later.  Each time the termite infestation was treated but the recommendation to install a Termite Barrier was rejected.

These are some of the photos of the of the termite infestation and as you can see the damage was quite extensive.

Why your brisbane house needs a termite barrier

This last massive infestation resulted in huge costs to treat the property to initially get rid of the termites, and then more expense to rebuild walls, framing, skirtings and cornices in several rooms.

The property now has a termite barrier in place and protection from future termite invasions.
