The West Indian drywood termite, is the world’s most destructive drywood termite. It is the culprit to massive economic damage to timber houses in Queensland, including properties in Ipswich.
A coastal environment like Wynnum is prone to termite and vermin attacks.

Damage to homes, whether made from weatherboard, is likely if termites, or white ants, are left unchecked.
