With many treatments such as; termite barriers, bait systems, and wood treatments, these remedies are substantially less costly compared to repairing structural damage to dwellings where costs can reach into the tens or hundreds of thousands.

2. Protecting Property Investments (Long-Term):

Purchasing a property will always be a significant financial investment where you’ll want to maintain the value of the property under any circumstances. In order to protect your property, you will need to consider aspects such as;

  • The age of the building: With older buildings embracing less modern designs & construction techniques, they are more likely to have been constructed with a higher proportion of wooden elements. E.g. beams, timber flooring, and even fencing which can all contribute to being environments for termites in Sydney.

  • Location: Properties located near bushland where sources of wood are endless act as perfect environments for existing termite colonies and that termites can move into residential homes with ease as they are nearby. We at Andy’s Pest Control understand these influences and can effectively advise on how frequently you will require a termite pest inspection in your Sydney home to ensure that it is free from termite infestations.

Every building in Sydney will to some degree have timber components such as; beams, timber flooring, wall frames, and cabinets.
