When the termites fight back!<\/h2>\n

We all know Mastotermes<\/em> is the biggest and most voracious termite in Australia. Jacob Jackson<\/strong>, from Flick Pest Control in Darwin, knew he had a battle on his hands when one particular soldier took exception to a dusting treatment.<\/p>\n

Nasutitermes<\/em> nests<\/h2>\n

The nests of Nasutitermes<\/em> spp tend to be amongst the easiest to locate. There was no chance of Leanne Sellers<\/strong> from South Coast Pest Control in Shelharbour, NSW missing these!<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the biggest I\u2019ve ever seen and I use to see quite a few down at my farm at Neriga. These are just down the road from where I live, at my favourite beach behind the surf club (which has some issues as you could imagine).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
