Pest Reports Sydney
Obtaining regular pest reports in Sydney is pretty much a ‘must’ if you want to monitor your home for the presence of termites. Many Sydneysiders understand that termites are a problem in the region and many home owners in high risk areas (most of us!) will have spotted termites or termite damage on their property at some stage, whether it’s inside, in the wood pile, or on the wooden fence.
Sydney is home to billions of termites and the chances are there’s a colony not far from you. If you live in a nice leafy area like the Hills District or the Northern Beaches, your home may be at even greater risk than average. Termites don’t have to be in your back yard to pose a threat. Termites attack homes up to a radius of 100 metres around their colony.
Termite colonies can be hard to locate as they’re generally concealed either in the ground, or in a stump or tree trunk – so the fact that you can’t see a termite colony doesn’t mean your home is safe. And because subterranean termites travel underground, the chances of you spotting them en route to your home is very limited. Once inside your home, they’re just as invisible.
The best way to monitor your property for the presence of termites is to continue to obtain regular pest reports. Sydney home owners frequently discover via these reports that termites have entered their home or yard. If it’s been a few years since their previous termite inspection, and the termites have been present for some time, then the damage may be extensive. Annual or twice yearly inspections can help to ensure that the presence of termites is discovered as soon as possible, allowing the home owner to arrange a timely termite treatment.
