It’s termite season in Perth. 🐜 Here’s what most homeowners don’t realise…
Termites don’t announce themselves. There’s no buzzing, no trail across the kitchen bench, no obvious sign. They work silently — inside your walls, under your floors, through the timber frame you can’t see — and most Perth homeowners have no idea they’re there until the damage is already done.
And right now is when they’re most active. Spring and summer are peak season, when colonies get moving and go looking for new timber to feed on.
The frustrating part? Termite damage can run into tens of thousands to repair, and it usually isn’t covered by home insurance. Your home is probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make — and a yearly inspection is one of the cheapest ways to protect it.
Our simple rule: if it’s been more than 12 months since your last termite inspection — or you’ve never had one — it’s time. 🏠
A few quick things that put your home at higher risk:
🔸 Previous termite activity in the area
🔸 Timber retaining walls, fences or decking
🔸 Garden beds or reticulation up against the house
🔸 Any past moisture or drainage issues
Recognise a couple of these? Don’t wait to find out the hard way.
👉 Save this as your spring reminder, and tag a mate who hasn’t had their place checked in years. 👇
