Termites in your house - Warning signs and damage 

Yay, something else to keep me awake at night! Eye opening video, thanks.

This is also a major problem across SE Asia. They had already eaten 4 teak door frames even before we moved in to our brand new house. Same with neighbour's houses. All fixed now with pesticide and less attractive metal frames. The big nest was removed last year from an adjacent piece of land, it went down and across for many metres underground. Kind of unbelievable how large their city and army was. Cheers Bill, hope your new home is termite-free.

Terrifying!! Thanks for the tips Bill.

Well that's why I like Tasmania.No termites in my rental properties to ever worry about .

Great video Bill. Copto termites are the most aggressive I've been told from an expert. We had them in the garden so got them treated and installed a barrier system around the house. Just get annual checks from an expert now and all is good.

Thanks for this knowledge packed video Bill, I learnt so much about termites.

Very informative video!! I'll be qualified as a Pesty soon, after that i'll be doing my Termite qualifications. You've given me some good knowledge.

Fantastic video. Looking at my home around cornices. Lol.

Great awareness Bill, I would suspect the damage is catastrophic and very costly to the homeowner. 👍

Another great video, thanks Bill

The mud trails are the kicker, I check out side regularly

Really interesting and informative video. Thanks 👍

I live on a bush block and my yard is full of termites. It is a constant job keeping an eye on the house, making sure there is no trails in and ensuring there is nothing to give them easy access.

Thank you for the informative video

Thank you very much. Very well done 👍👌🙏

Holy moly. Interesting stuff!

Far out! That must have been some damp wood!

thanks good info.

Thanks for showing us Bill. Scary stuff. I've got a termite barrier as my house was built in the last 8 years, plus yearly inspections. Do you think the terminate plasmite barriers work well?

Hungry little buggers.

Wowww so easy to write it off as water damage without opening the wall

My place looked even worse than this. The extent of the damage was devastating. . The bathroom @ the laundry was completely destroyed. They even got under the carpet in the bedroom. Cast half a years salary to fix it. 😢

On ya Bill 👍

What an absolute mess. 😥

I think if you have a thermal camera you'd see them in the wall... That size infestation would be obvious on the thermal camera.

Will this be detected by having a yearly termites inspection?

Treated timber or hardwood

Are you better off when the house is elevated off the ground?

the bubbling/moisture on the skirting and cornice, was that moisture caused by the termites or form water that attracted them?

How much would it cost to fix all that?

Hi, is the frame not treated timber?

👍🏽👍🏽

Nightmare would be your neighbour planting termites on your property. Would steel frame buildings prevent this?

I do not share your fascination, my preference is to be horrified.

Sagging ceiling and cracking in the cornice, that looks like my ceiling but I know in my case it was of really crappy builders. How old is the house Bill? It must have been built before treated wood became a requirement.

“Uuuunnnggghhh… puff puff… Urrrrghhh… deep breath… Come on… almost… there… HNNNNNGGGG!!! SPLAAAAAASH!!! sloppy sounds Plop… plop… splat…” (I’m shitting to this)

Haha that’s very scary
