Termite Nests - Where To Spot Them

Finding Termite Nests Around Homes

In this article, I’ll tell you about the types of termite nests you might come across and what they look like generally. 

Termites in the Garden or Bush

You may also encounter some other types of termites if you find yourself in gardens or bushland:

• Terminates genus termites are present throughout all of Australia, and they can be difficult to distinguish. They are commonly dark brown to black, and they leave black mud trails on garden timbers. Their nests are usually football shaped and often inside large hardwood garden timbers not trees.

• You may find soft mud mounds constructed by Nasutitermes expeditious.. Some of these termites forage above ground and are occasionally known to attack buildings.

The Takeaway

Termite nests don’t look like the big mounds you might expect to see. Termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage, so it’s worth taking the time to learn how to prevent termites and how to spot signs that termites are in your home.

If you see anything suspicious take a picture and send it to a termite professional, such as like ourselves. We provide free photo ID evaluations, and it could be something minor but why take the risk?
