Extent of Termite Damage in This Home
From Live Termites Collingwood Park
During a standard house spring clean, the owners located what looked like termite damage around architraves and doors. The owners were a bit shocked to find live and old extensive damage that started with ‘something doesn’t look right’. The owners’ good observation skills resulted in live termites being found.
After a spot treatment, and us being engaged to repair associated damage, it was discovered the initial spot treatment had been unsuccessful. Collaborating with a professional termite treatment company meant that live termites could finally all be treated and the potential multi-room termite damage fully investigated.
