As a property owner in Brisbane, you must be familiar with termite and pest control advertisements. It\u2019s easy to group termite control with property maintenance tasks, but it\u2019s not the same. And skipping termite treatment \u2018just this season\u2019 is a direct invitation to termites looking to settle down.
Bob Gunn Termite Solutions knows life is busy, but it is not worth risking your biggest investment. Before you push that inspection to 2027, let\u2019s look at the reality of what\u2019s going on in the walls and foundation of your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Termites are often mistaken for ants because of their small size, but they\u2019re nothing like them. They don\u2019t let the actual owners know when they move. This is why we call them silent destroyers. By the time a homeowner or business owner notices a door frame feeling weak or sees a suspicious mud tunnel on a wall, the structural damage is usually already deep into the property <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An annual inspection is about detection before destruction. We find them while they\u2019re still in the walls, not after they\u2019ve finished eating your timber and wooden furniture. This saves you from frequent calls to termite inspection companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is the cold, hard truth: Standard home insurance does not cover termite damage. Insurance companies view termites as a preventable issue, much like a leaky tap or damaged floor coverings. If you have an infestation that costs a fortune to fix, it will come out of your pocket. Spending a few hundred dollars once a year for a professional to clear your home is essentially the only insurance policy you need against these pests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
