Why Cohuna homes face real termite pressure
Cohuna sits beside Gunbower Island — thousands of hectares of river red gum forest wrapped by the Murray and Gunbower Creek. Red gum country carries some of the strongest subterranean termite populations in Victoria, and the creek frontage puts town blocks within easy foraging range.
The housing stock is largely irrigation-era timber: weatherboards and timber-framed brick homes on stumps, with subfloors that stay damp near the creek flats. Dairy and farm properties through the district add sheds, yards and stored timber as staging posts.
Channel irrigation keeps soil moisture favourable through the warm months when colonies are most active. For Cohuna, an annual inspection is the baseline, and creek-side homes deserve particular discipline. We start with the biology so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Cohuna termite questions
How does Gunbower Island affect termite risk in town?
The island’s red gum forest supports large, well-fed colonies, and foragers work the creek frontage and into town blocks. Homes near the creek aren’t doomed — but they’re inside the range, so annual inspections and dry, tidy sub-floor habits matter here.
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 come to Cohuna for single inspections?
Yes — Cohuna is part of our regular northern run with Kerang and Gunbower, so single inspections, treatments and barrier work are all straightforward to schedule.
