Conducive conditions around Werribee homes
The everyday things that make a house more attractive to termites.
In short: Most termite risk is created by what sits around a house, not by the house itself.
Moisture
Leaking taps, poor drainage and ground falling toward the walls keep soil damp, which termites need.
Timber in contact with the ground
Old sleepers, stored timber and fence posts give termites food close to the house.
Concealment
Garden beds, stored items and climbing plants against walls hide termite activity from view.
Gaps
Open joints in brick veneer give pests a route into the wall cavity.
What the report does
It lists each conducive condition we can see so you can remove it, which reduces risk more than anything else you can do.
