Pest Services
TIMBER PESTS
Any structure can be attacked by Timber Pests.
Periodic maintenance should
include measures to minimise possibilities of infestation in and around a
property.
Factors which may lead to infestation from Timber Pests include filled
areas, areas with less than 400mm clearance, foam insulation at foundations,
earth/wood in contact with the ground, damp/wet areas, leaking pipes, etc; form-work timbers, scrap
timber, tree stumps, mulch, tree branches touching the structure, wood rot, etc.
Gardens, pathways or turf abutting or concealing the edge of a concrete slab
will allow for concealed and undetected entry by timber pests.
Any timber in contact with the
soil such as form-work, scrap timbers lying around the site or stumps should be removed from under and
around the buildings and any leaks repaired in order to minimise the likelihood
of attack by timber pests.
Refer to the current version of Australian Standard
AS 3660 for
more information.
