Why Tylden homes face real termite pressure
Tylden sits in cool potato-and-dairy country on the divide, with the Wombat forest fringe to the south and treed paddocks, shelterbelts and creek lines threading the district — all of it holding established subterranean termite colonies despite the climate.
The housing stock runs from period farmhouses and weatherboards in the village to lifestyle properties on treed blocks — and the rural estate of sheds, stables, fencing and firewood stores that gives colonies staging posts between bush and house.
Cold doesn’t protect Tylden homes: colonies nest deep where temperatures stay stable and a heated house is winter real estate. Annual inspections are the sensible standard. We start with the biology so the treatment deals with the colony at its source.

Tylden termite questions
Surely Tylden is too cold for termites?
It’s a common assumption and it costs people — subterranean termites nest below the frost line where temperatures are stable, and activity continues year-round. We find live termites in divide-country homes in every season, including mid-winter.
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.
We’ve got stables and a hay shed — are they part of the inspection?
They should be — outbuildings are usually the first structures termites contact, and on lifestyle blocks we inspect them alongside the home as standard. A colony dealt with at the shed never reaches the house.
