Why Lockwood homes face real termite pressure

Lockwood is the quieter neighbour of Kangaroo Flat — rural-living country along Bullock Creek with box-ironbark remnants and the Big Hill bush within foraging range of most blocks.

Properties typically pair a home — farmhouse-era to modern — with sheds, stables, sleeper walls and firewood stores: the staging posts subterranean termites use between bush and building. Creek-side ground adds the moisture factor along the flats.

On rural-living blocks the system view wins: annual inspection of the home, outbuildings checked alongside, and monitoring where the bush is close. We start with the biology so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Lockwood termite questions

What’s the most common finding on Lockwood blocks?

Activity in outbuildings and ground-contact timber — sheds, sleeper walls and firewood on soil — before the house is touched. That’s the good news: caught there, it never becomes a house problem.

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.

Does Bullock Creek raise the risk along the flats?

Creek flats hold moisture, which keeps colonies travelling — so flat, low blocks warrant the drainage attention we build into inspections out this way.
