In Australia, dry wood termites thrive in areas with dry wood, such as structural timbers, furniture, and

wooden fixtures in homes. These pests pose threats to humans both hygienically and economically.

Hygienically, dry wood termites can compromise the structural integrity of wooden materials, leading to

potential safety hazards. Moreover, their presence can cause stress and discomfort for homeowners.

Economically, the cost of repairing or replacing damaged wood and professional pest control services to

eradicate infestations can result in significant expenses. Additionally, the structural damage caused by

dry wood termites may decrease property values and impact resale opportunities. Regular inspections

and preventative measures are essential to mitigate these risks.
