Why Boort homes face real termite pressure

Boort wraps around its lakes — Little Lake Boort at the town’s heart and the wetlands beyond — with red gums on the water’s edge and grain country all around. The lakes keep moisture and timber together, which is all subterranean termites ask for.

The housing stock is largely timber-era homes on stumps, many facing the lake, plus farm properties with sheds and stored timber within foraging range. Lakeside blocks carry damper subfloors than the dry district average — the moisture half of the equation, sitting right under the floor.

An annual inspection focused on moisture points is the sensible standard here. We start with the biology — species, nest, and why they’re there — so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Boort termite questions

Does living near the lake change our termite risk?

Lakeside red gums and steady soil moisture support active colonies, so lake-facing blocks are inside normal foraging range. The response is routine, not alarm: annual inspections, drainage away from the house, and timber 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.

Do you actually travel to Boort?

Yes — Boort is part of our regular Loddon run, and farm and town jobs alike are easy to schedule. Homestead, sheds and outbuildings can all be covered in one visit.
