Why Wedderburn homes face real termite pressure
Wedderburn is gold country on the edge of the Mallee — box-ironbark bush and the Wychitella reserves around a heritage township, with established subterranean termite colonies foraging from the bush into town and farm blocks.
The housing stock is mining-era timber: cottages and weatherboards on original stumps with the concealed pathways old housing accumulates, plus farm properties adding sheds and stored timber within range.
For Wedderburn the combination of old timber and nearby bush makes annual inspections the sensible standard, subfloor included. We start with the biology — species, nest, and why they’re there — so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Wedderburn termite questions
Does the Wychitella bush put town homes at risk?
It keeps established colonies within foraging range of the bush-side streets, yes — which is normal for goldfields towns and entirely manageable with annual inspections and timber kept up off the ground.
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.
Our cottage has had the same stumps for a century — should we worry?
Original timber stumps deserve a proper look — they’re ground-contact, concealed and often damp, which makes them the most common first finding in goldfields housing. A subfloor inspection tells you exactly where they stand.
