Termite inspection in Warrandyte finds a large termite tunnel on a stump
During a termite inspection in Warrandyte, a large termite tunnel was found under the house.
Termites have created a mud tunnel or access tube from the ground, up the stump and over the
floor bearer to gain access to the rest of the building timbers, causing extensive structural
damage.
Many people think that concrete stumps will stop termites getting into their homes, however this
is not the case. Termites just have to work harder as they are forced to make a mud tunnel up the
side of the stump. With timber stumps, termites can have concealed access through the centre of
timber stumps, which will not be seen.
