Here in Queensland we hear alot about termites, but aside from papery walls or visual damage do you know the signs to watch out for?

One common sign of termites is a clicking sound coming from your walls. Each colony has soldiers, and these cheeky henchmen are pretty great at shaking themselves or butting the wood to alert the others of danger. Other sounds may be the muching of your woodwork!

Noticed black powerdy substances on wooden surfaces in your home? Maybe you have noticed mud tunnels? You are looking at termite poo! Depending on the species of termite, you will notice a variety of droppings - the most important thing to remember is if you notice something that shouldn't be there, get an inspection.

The next notable sign is winged insects appearing around your home after rain. These swarmers leave the colony to establish a new one. Just found the wings? Call a pro because those swarmers have found a mate and are creating the first generation of the next colony nearby!
