Every spring, something stirs beneath the foundations of Canberra homes. As temperatures climb and the first warm rains arrive, thousands of winged termites take flight in search of new colony sites, and for ACT homeowners, this marks the beginning of the highest-risk period on the termite calendar. If you have ever spotted a swarm of...
Your food licence is one pest sighting away from a closure notice. For Canberra hospitality operators, that is not an exaggeration.
