Why Golden Square homes face real termite pressure
Golden Square grew up over some of the richest gold workings in Bendigo, and the suburb still carries the legacy: period weatherboards and miners’ cottages on old stumps, disturbed ground, and mature gardens that have had a century to establish. For subterranean termites, that means concealed timber, stable moisture and quiet entry points.
The suburb also sits on the corridor between the bush at Big Hill and Crusoe Reservoir and the city centre — foraging colonies don’t recognise suburb boundaries, and we treat active termites in Golden Square homes every year, in brick veneer as often as in weatherboard.
Whether your place is a renovated cottage near the oval or a brick veneer on a newer street, the principle is the same: an annual inspection finds activity while it’s still cheap to deal with. We start with the biology — species, nest, and why they’re there — so the treatment deals with the colony, not just the timber it’s eating.

Golden Square termite questions
My Golden Square home is a renovated miner’s cottage — what should I watch for?
Renovation joins are the classic weak point: where new framing meets century-old timber, where old stumps were left under new floors, and where extensions broke the original ground clearance. We inspect those junctions closely, because that’s where activity hides longest.
I’ve found termites in my home — what should I do?
Leave them undisturbed and don’t spray them. Disturbing termites makes them retreat and re-route, which makes the colony harder to find and treat. Cover the area if you can and call us on 0467 857 177 — we’ll identify the species and treat the colony at its source.
How quickly can you inspect a Golden Square property?
Usually within days — Golden Square is minutes from our base, and suspected live activity gets priority scheduling. Pre-purchase inspections can usually be slotted in to suit settlement timelines too.
