Termite Inspections in The Oaks
termite inspections in The Oaks
A termite inspection is the first step in termite management
- About The Oaks: A tranquil village offering a rural lifestyle, The Oaks is surrounded by bushland and agricultural land. Properties here often have large tracts of land, mature trees, and varied soil types, which can influence termite behaviour.
- Termite Inspection Differences in The Oaks:
- Varied Soil Conditions: The diverse soil types can affect the efficacy and longevity of chemical barriers, requiring a nuanced approach to treatment and monitoring.
- Tree Cover: Extensive tree cover provides numerous foraging opportunities and nesting sites for subterranean termites, necessitating thorough inspections of all trees and stumps.
- Water Tanks & Septic Systems: Many properties rely on tanks and septic systems, which can create localised moisture areas that attract termites to foundations.

With the Pestgo office located only minutes from The Oaks we use services from and pass through There regularly. It is interesting to us that The Oaks appears to have a higher rainfall than Mount Hunter with weather systems seeming to split at The Oaks.

Pestgo technicians have inspected and then treated the treated termites in many different parts of The Oaks including John Street, Montpelier Drive and Merlin Street.
For properties that are on the drop off of the hill along Hardwick Street, Merlin Street and Browns Road sometimes it is difficult to attend to termites that are nesting in innaccesable area down the slope but attacking up the hill.
We often employ baiting strategies in this situation to ensure the destruction of the colony before we protect the home.
These homes can be more attractive than those on the Western side of the township as the termites have little access to water down the slope but can often find water around the houses up the hill from leaky taps, hot water systems or tanks.
Regular annual inspections can help you keep your home in a condition which doesn’t attract termites.
