Drywood Termites in Melbourne — Quick Answer
T47 Pest Control identifies and treats drywood termite infestations across Melbourne. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live entirely within the timber they consume and do not require contact with soil. They produce distinctive pellet-shaped droppings called frass. Our technicians use localised injection treatments and, where necessary, fumigation to eliminate colonies within structural and decorative timbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if I have drywood termites?
- The most common sign is small piles of pellet-shaped droppings (frass) near timber surfaces. You may also notice tiny holes in timber where frass is ejected. Drywood termites do not build mud tubes like subterranean species.
- Can drywood termites be treated without fumigation?
- Yes, if the infestation is localised. We use injection treatments directly into affected timbers. Fumigation is reserved for widespread infestations where localised treatment is not practical.
