LEAKING PLUMBING

Another major risk from leaking plumbing &/or water pooling is that from Sydney north it creates ideal conditions for termite infestation. This can lead to repairs & control costs into the tens of thousands. I do not believe in turning the sub-floors of my house into toxic waste dumps. The permanant solution for termites is structural changes to create a dry, light & well ventilated environment which is unattractive to termites. Chemicals if required should be targetted baits, not area sprays & the new chemical Chloroflurazanon is dramatically safer than arsenic or organophosphates.
