Why Elmore homes face real termite pressure
Elmore sits on the Campaspe River halfway between Bendigo and Echuca — red gums along the river, grain country around it, and a township of timber-era housing in between. The river corridor keeps subterranean termite colonies supplied with moisture and timber year-round.
The housing stock is largely older timber-framed homes and weatherboards on stumps, with farm properties adding sheds, hay storage and stored timber as staging posts. River-side blocks carry the usual extra moisture factor in their subfloors.
An annual inspection is the sensible standard for Elmore, with moisture points — river side, garden beds, plumbing — getting first attention. We start with the biology — species, nest, and why they’re there — so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Elmore termite questions
How does the Campaspe affect termite pressure in Elmore?
The river corridor’s red gums and moisture support established colonies, and foragers work the adjacent blocks. Homes near the river warrant disciplined annual inspections and good drainage; the rest of town benefits from the same habit.
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.
Can you inspect the farm buildings as well?
Yes — homestead, sheds and outbuildings in one visit, reported together. On grain properties the shed line is usually where activity shows first, and that’s the cheap place to stop it.
