This is an email received through our termite identification service. Beecroft is a leafy suburb in Sydney that is a haven for serious termites – here is an answer to Glenn’s question.
I have a large tree (I think it’s a Stringy Bark) that looks healthy in all regards. The lower trunk is around a metre diameter and the bark is infested with termites as far up as about 20 feet. There is no nest up in the branches. This tree is huge, at least 20 metres high and I am concerned that the termites may be inside the trunk. If they weaken the tree it will fall on my neighbour’s house. My priority is to save the tree.
