Frequently Asked Questions
- Where are dampwood termites commonly found?
- Dampwood termites are found in timber with high moisture content — rotting stumps, damp subfloors, leaking bathrooms, and decaying fence posts. They rarely infest sound, dry timber in well-maintained homes.
- Are dampwood termites as damaging as subterranean termites?
- Dampwood termites cause localised damage to moist timber but are generally less destructive than subterranean termites, which can attack an entire structure. However, any termite activity should be professionally assessed and treated.
