Termite Attacks – making a meal of the outer suburbs

With the ever increasing expansion of residential development into Australia’s outer suburbs – experts say there is a current plague of termite attacks on Australian homes.

Last year’s wet spring made for ideal conditions for termite infestation, conditions which have reportedly lead to a plague of the wood-chewing insects.

Termite experts are seeing hungry termites making a meal of new homes being built on what was previously undisturbed termite territory – and often this is happening in the outer suburbs.

While all suburbs in Canberra should be on the lookout for termites – it’s the outer suburbs , which included suburbs within 15 to 20 kilometres from the CBD, like Tuggeranong areas of, Wanniassa, Kambah, Richardson, Theodore, Isabella Plains, Isaacs and Calwell that need to remain vigilant and have regular termite inspections.  

The leafy inner suburbs of O’Connor, Turner, Ainslie, Campbell and many more of those older suburbs are probably the highest risk of all.

However termite attacks don’t discriminate so even home owners in any new developments like Macgregor, Dunlop,  Lawson, Wright, Forde, Gungahlin and Coombs should be inspecting their property at least 12 monthly.

“A Big Thank You to Jacqui and Grant!

The scheduling process was very smooth and effortless, I greatly appreciated Jacqui’s responsiveness for my unique situation. Grant’s expertise as the inspector was evident from the moment he arrived. I truly appreciated his valuable inputs and confirmation of all the technical details during the walk-through and it gave me complete peace of mind about the quality of my new home.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received, and I would highly recommend your team to anyone in need of a handover inspection.”

Grace, New Construction Client – Canberra

“Thank you again for everything you’ve done to help us, and for your understanding and patience with the constant rescheduling. And a big thank you to Brendan for taking the time to explain everything to us – I honestly could’ve listened to him all day long!
When I started looking for a property inspection company, I asked everyone I could think of, then went on Google and did some homework. We narrowed it down to three companies, and I called you first because 1.) you had the best reviews and 2.) the sample report was very impressive.

That first conversation I had with you set the standard for the rest of the bunch. You took the time to listen and discuss what we were looking for and what our concerns were, which no one else did. In fact, I only rang one other company and quickly decided I wasn’t even going to waste my time ringing the third as I’d already made up my mind.

In terms of price, while Surety charges more than others, I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for. The inspection and report were absolutely worth every dollar (and probably more). Brendan picked up on issues we never even thought of, and not only detailed them with photos, but got our builder to agree to fix them with no argument. That was particularly impressive, especially considering the builder. And the report – no one else puts that level of effort into their reports. Surety’s reports should be an industry standard.

Again, thank you so very much for everything, and we wish you and Brendan all the best. Next time we buy (not build, learned that lesson), we’re coming straight to Surety again, absolutely no question about that.”
