Termite Damage is more common than you think
A study by Griffith University has identified the real impact of termite attacks in Australia.
10% of Australian houses have had or will be infested by termites, with this figure rising to 65% in some areas.
There is an emerging huge cost to buildings and other wooden structures from termite damage in urban Australia. Concerns about the environmental and public health consequences of the large quality and frequent reapplication of termiticides (chemicals for the treatment of termites) in urban Australia has led to stakeholders to identify a need to have appropriate information that reflects local conditions about their environmental and health effects.1
The research goes on to detail that the average cost in one particular area ranged from $18,000 to $60,000 per property, and it was estimated that 10% of Australian houses have had or will be infested by termites, with this figure rising to an 65% in some areas.1

Australian Termite's $780 million smorgasbord
Thousands of home owners throughout Australia are unwittingly providing Australian Termites with a smorgasbord of opportunities to eat their homes leading to thousands of dollars in damage causing an estimated annual cost of $780 million damage to houses in Australia, Archicentre claimed today.
Mr Robert Caulfield, Managing Director of Archicentre, the building advisory service of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects said,
"Archicentre estimates that 650,000 homes around Australia have been damaged by termites costing $3.9 billion in treatment and repair typically over a cycle of five years. There is usually a time period of five years from the time of detection to treatment to eradicate the termites."
The average cost of treatment for a home with termites by a pest contractor is $1500, the average repair cost per home for termite damage is $4,500.
