Termite Nest Found on Top of Rocks and Pavers

May 3, 2018 By Luke Taylor

A Subterranean Termite called, Microcerotermes build nests in trees and ground mounds. This Microcerotermes nest was found in a backyard building above rocks and pavers. Many people believe termites only travel over timber or up through timbers, however this is completely incorrect.

Termites travel over steel and treated timber to get to food and moisture, they are unpredictable and fearless.

This termite colony has not only worked its way through the rocks it has formed up and through the pavers installed on the ground. Microcerotermes Species are said to be a little slower than other Subterranean termites like Coptotermes species that destroy homes rapidly.

Be sure to put your best foot forward and get every termite nest on the property treated by a licensed termite management expert.

Microcerotermes Species will damage a pine frame home, never take the risk, If in doubt call 1300 552 234.
