Termite risk and pest inspections in Wyndham Vale VIC
Many new homes in Melbourne are built with a termite management system, and a notice recording it should be fixed in the meter box. We have recorded that notice missing at Wyndham Vale handovers. On established homes the bigger issue is moisture: weep holes buried or sealed, downpipes on the ground and garden beds against the walls give termites cover.
Check the meter box for the termite management notice.
Keep weep holes clear and above garden beds and paving.
Connect every downpipe to stormwater.
Move timber, mulch and stored materials away from the walls.
A timber pest inspection reports evidence and risk on the day only.
