Although the buildings are made of timber, to date none of our clients have had an issue with termites. There are the following reasons for this:
- We treat our buildings with CTX, “organic solvent-based solution containing specifically blended insecticidal and fungicidal active ingredients that provides a colourless surface treatment for protection of seasoned timber against wood borer and termite attack as well as discolouring fungi and mould growth.”
- The buildings are off the ground, so not only can you visually inspect underneath to prevent termite mounds, but also this acts as a barrier for the termites getting to the wood.
- No timber touches the ground, termites would have to climb a metal substructure which is uncommon to get to the timber.
