Why Junortoun homes face real termite pressure
Junortoun is bush-block living — big treed allotments along the McIvor Highway with the Greater Bendigo National Park and One Tree Hill country close by. It’s exactly the setting subterranean termites thrive in, and homes here sit inside established foraging territory.
Most houses are modern slab-on-ground builds on large blocks, which concentrates the risk in two places: concealed slab-edge entry on the house itself, and the spread of timber across the block — sheds, retained gums, sleeper walls, firewood and horse infrastructure that give colonies staging posts.
For Junortoun we recommend treating the whole block as the system it is: annual inspections of the home, eyes on the outbuildings, and monitoring between the bush and the house for blocks hard against the tree line. We start with the biology so treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Junortoun termite questions
We’ve got sheds and a stable on our Junortoun block — do they matter?
Very much. Outbuildings are usually the first structures termites contact, and activity there is the early warning for the house. We inspect them as part of the property, and a colony treated at the shed never gets to the kitchen.
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.
Should we install monitoring stations on a bush block?
For blocks against the tree line, yes — a ring of monitoring stations between the bush and the house gives early interception and turns an annual snapshot into year-round coverage. We’ll design the layout around your block during an inspection.
