10 Termite Prevention Tips Every Campbelltown Homeowner Should Know

Even with a Termidor HE chemical barrier or Sentricon baiting installed, how you maintain the property has a major impact on your long-term termite risk.

Campbelltown’s mix of established gum trees, irrigated gardens, brick-veneer housing and the Georges River corridor is exactly the environment subterranean termites love. The good news — small changes around your home make a big difference.

The top 10

  • Keep weep holes clear — never rendered over or covered by garden beds
  • Maintain a 75mm minimum gap between soil/mulch and any weep hole or slab edge
  • Fix leaking taps, air-con overflows, hot water systems and downpipes promptly
  • Store firewood off the ground and well away from the house
  • Redirect sprinklers away from the slab edge — no more permanent damp zones
  • Never bury timber offcuts, formwork or old tree stumps in the yard
  • Ventilate sub-floor spaces — keep vents clear of soil, vegetation and stored items
  • Inspect fence lines and retaining sleepers every spring for mud tubes
  • Have a licensed AS 3660 inspection every 12 months at minimum
  • Consider Sentricon Always Active in-ground stations for permanent monitoring
