Termite risk and pest inspections in Donnybrook VIC

Homes across these estates are built with a termite management system, and a notice recording it belongs in the meter box. Our most common serious pest finding in Donnybrook is a barrier that has been bridged, usually by soil, render or paving, so termites cross it unseen. We have also recorded protection breached during construction at lock-up stage.

A bridged barrier is worse than none, because everyone assumes it is working.

Cladding to ground clearance is the measurement that keeps the barrier visible.

Protection gets breached by trades after installation, which is why lock-up matters.

Damp soil, poor drainage and stored timber do more to invite termites than the house does.

FAQ

Termite risk and pest inspections in Donnybrook VIC: common questions

What does bridging mean?

Something has covered the barrier so termites can pass over it undetected. The system is intact and useless.

Is the barrier checked during a build?

Yes, at frame and again at lock-up, because trades breach it after it goes in.

Will you treat anything you discover?

No. We inspect and report. Any treatment, and the warranty attached to it, has to come from a licensed pest controller.
