Termites
Termites in Australia can be both a menace and a benefit. While they are destructive, causing significant damage to properties, they also play a vital role in breaking down organic material in ecosystems. THE GOOD: they help recycle nutrients. THE BAD: they damage structures, costing millions in repairs. THE UGLY: hidden infestations that can devastate homes. Protect your property with advice from PESTMAC, the local Termite specialists, your expert solution for termite prevention and management.
