Termite Inspections in Bargo

A termite inspection is the first step in termite management

Bushland, Beauty and Bugs

• Nestled amidst significant bushland, Bargo offers a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle. Its close proximity to native vegetation means homes are often directly adjacent to natural termite habitats. Properties here typically have larger blocks with more mature trees and garden elements.
• Bushland Interface Risk: Our inspections involve extensive external assessments, including large trees (live and dead), tree stumps, fence lines, and stored timber, which are common harbourage points for aggressive termite species found in natural bushland environments.
• Subfloor Ventilation & Moisture: Many homes in Bargo have raised foundations, making subfloor ventilation and moisture control, critical inspection points to detect subterranean termites. We are intimately familiar with the specific termite species prevalent in Bargo’s bushland, allowing for highly targeted detection and treatment strategies.

This Memorial Has Been Erected To Commemorate The Discovery Of The Lyrebird And The Koala.

The First Record Of These Famous Australians Having Been Made In The Vicinity Of The Present Town Of Bargo on 26th JANUARY 1798

It Also Commemorates The Bi-Centenary Of The Ceremony Held On Possession Island On 22nd AUGUST 1770 When Captain James Cook Established The British Claim To Eastern Australia.

The Memorial Was Unveiled By Alec H. Chisholm, O.B.E., F.R.A.H.S., Who Was Responsible For Revealing The Date And Place Associated With The First Recording Of The Lyrebird And The Koala. He Has Shown That The Lyrebird (First Termed Pheasant) And The Koala (Aboriginal Name Cullawne) Were Made Known Through John Wilson, An Ex-Convict And Bush Wanderer, And John Price, A Youthful Servant Of Governor John Hunter.

Acting On The Governor’s Instructions, And Travelling On Foot Over Difficult Country, These Adventurers Became The First White Men To Explore The Southern Tableland From The Nepean To The Wingecarribee And Wollondilly Rivers.

This plaque is mounted on one of three rough-hewn boulders located near the Bargo Railway Station. The flanking boulders each feature depictions of a lyrebird and a koala, celebrating these iconic Australian animals. The memorial not only marks the first European recordings of these species but also commemorates the bicentenary of Captain James Cook’s 1770 ceremony on Possession Island, where he claimed the eastern coast of Australia for Britain.
