Termites love loose timber laying around, especially pine off cuts, railway sleepers & timber pallets!
It is an old wives tale that if you leave timber around outside, Termites won’t touch your house.
The only way to guarantee your property is safe, is to keep your property clean & tidy of loose timber and debris, remove gardens & vegetation from against your house and to ensure you have an up to date termite barrier protecting your home.
Plus, have your home inspected at least 12 monthly by a qualified timber pest inspector.
