Why Strathfieldsaye homes face real termite pressure
Strathfieldsaye has grown fast, but the bush got there first. The suburb borders the Greater Bendigo National Park and One Tree Hill bushland, and the larger treed blocks that make the area attractive also put homes directly alongside established termite territory.
Newer homes aren’t immune. Slab-on-ground construction conceals entry points at slab edges, plumbing penetrations and expansion joints, and attached garages with stored timber are a common first contact point. We regularly find activity in homes under fifteen years old around Strathfieldsaye and Junortoun.
Add sleeper retaining walls, mulched gardens and the mature gums kept for shade, and the case for an annual inspection — and proper protection on new builds and extensions — is straightforward. We start with the biology so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Strathfieldsaye termite questions
My home is nearly new — do I really need termite inspections?
Yes. Builder-installed termite protection has a service life and conditions attached, and slab-on-ground homes hide entry points well. Annual inspections keep warranty and insurance positions intact and catch activity while it’s still cheap to deal with.
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 install termite protection for renovations and extensions?
Yes. Extensions are a classic weak point — the join between old and new construction often breaks the original protection. We design barriers and monitoring around the whole completed footprint.
