Tips for protecting your home from termite attack
Any structure can be attacked by Timber Pests. Periodic maintenance should include measures to minimise possibilities of infestation in and around a property. Factors which may lead to infestation from Timber Pests (‘Conducive Conditions’) include:
You should endeavour to ensure the above conditions DO NOT occur around your property.
We also recommend a full Inspection and Report should be carried out every six months – Regular inspections DO NOT stop attack, but may limit the amount of damage by detecting problems early.
Engage the services of a professional pest control firm to provide a suitable termite management program in accordance with AS3660 to minimise the risk of termite attack. The provision of a complete termite barrier will impede and discourage concealed entry into a building. It cannot prevent an attack as termites can still bridge or breach barriers but they can be detected more readily during routine inspections.
