The Queensland Government is accused of abandoning residents affected by drywood termite.
Various Queensland towns and suburbs, including Brisbane's bayside suburbs, all have slow-spreading infestations of the invasive West Indian drywood termite.
The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries ended the free fumigation program which paid for any outbreaks to be treated.
A Queensland government spokesperson says they are implementing a two-year transition program to assist the community, industry and local government in developing tools for improved detection and alternative treatments for the pest.
