Termites in Brisbane and the Dry Weather

Wed 02 Oct 2019
The month of September was not a good month for rain around Australia. The devastation in the bush is well known. Other issues have come from it too though and it might surprise you. If you've noticed some changes with termites in Brisbane, you can blame the dry conditions for that.  

When the months start to get warmer, that's when the termites in Brisbane start to get most active. With normal weather patterns, this time of year we get the rain and then we get the heat. Entering into spring with those conditions leaves us with humidity. Its in the humidity that flying termites begin to colonize.

The big change with the current weather pattern though is that we have been missing the rain. This has led to one of the driest Septembers in history. That change has then set in motion some changes with the colonization of termites in Brisbane. Rather than nest outside of properties, they've made their way indoors.

Most termites usually begin their nest within a tree or some type of outdoor area. With the lack of humidity in the air, termites in Brisbane are seeking a water source now. This is why they've been heading inside the homes of people all over Brisbane. As expected, this is wreaking havoc on people's homes from Newmarket all the way to Narangba.
