Remove all untreated timber from around the property such as untreated fences, timber garden sleepers, decks, stairs and timber structures. Untreated timbers where possible should be replaced with termite resistant materials.

Timber post of pergolas, carports etc should be erected on steel stirrups to break timber contact with ground areas.

Termites are attracted to moisture therefore, it is important to rectify any plumbing leaks. Majority of hot water systems, water tanks and air conditioning units release water alongside or near external walls. Overflow pipes should be diverted into suitable drains or at least place a container underneath overflow.

Connect downpipes and gutters to storm water drains to prevent water and moisture build up to ground areas.
