Why Maldon homes face real termite pressure
Maldon’s streetscape is one of the best-preserved of any gold-rush town in Victoria — and that heritage timber is exactly what subterranean termites are looking for. The town sits in box-ironbark country below Mount Tarrengower, with bush reserves and old diggings on every side, so foraging colonies are never far from the back fence.
Most of the housing stock is period timber: miners’ cottages, verandahed shopfronts and homes extended many times over a century and a half. Original stumps, subfloor voids and old renovation joins create concealed pathways where termites can work unseen for years.
Heritage homes also deserve treatments that respect the building. We design inspections and barrier systems around the construction — not through it — and explain every finding in plain language with an AS3660-compliant report.

Maldon termite questions
How often should heritage timber homes be inspected?
At least every 12 months under AS3660.3, and many Maldon owners opt for more frequent checks. Period timber homes near bush carry higher risk, and the cost of early detection is a fraction of the cost of heritage timber repair.
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.
Will treatment damage my heritage home?
No — modern treatments are designed to be minimally invasive. We work with the building: targeted treatment of active termites, discreet monitoring stations, and barriers installed around the structure rather than through original fabric wherever possible.
