Termites are a shared risk in a strata building, so a coordinated inspection of the whole scheme is far more useful than checking one lot at a time. Common property such as external walls, roof spaces, basements and gardens sits alongside private lots, and termites ignore those boundaries completely.
Coptotermes acinaciformis is the main subterranean species to watch for among the termite species in Epping. It builds large underground colonies and uses mud tubes to reach structural timber, often out of sight, which is why termite damage to structural timber is so often found late.
Repairs can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and unclear responsibility between the owners corporation and individual owners often delays treatment. A termite inspection every year helps committees catch activity early and keep costs predictable. Good termite prevention in a strata scheme starts with that routine, whether you manage one building in Epping or several across Melbourne’s north.
Strata pest control responsibility follows the boundary: the owners corporation looks after termite activity in common property, and each owner looks after activity inside their own lot. That boundary decides who pays, so we record where we find activity.
Common property pest control is typically the owners corporation’s job. That covers gardens, basements, car parks, external walls, stairwells, corridors, roof spaces and guttering, with treatment usually funded through levies.
Our free termite inspection covers these shared areas, and we report what we find in a form your strata manager can take straight to the committee.
Owners are directly responsible for activity in interior walls, skirting boards, kitchens, bathrooms, private balconies, courtyards and storage spaces.
A licensed technician can inspect an individual lot and give the owner a clear written summary and fixed-value pricing for any termite treatment in Epping that is needed.
If termites travel from common property into a lot, liability can get complicated. Our written reports note where activity started and where it spread, which helps everyone settle the question without delay.
Termites don’t stop at the lot boundary, so the report should say exactly where we found them. That saves a lot of arguments later.
Andy, Owner & Principal Pest Control Technician, Andy’s Pest Control
Much of the general guidance online is written for NSW. Check your scheme’s rules against Victorian pest control strata law, or ask your strata manager, rather than assuming they apply.
A licensed technician works through your scheme in a set order, checking both common property and individual lots, then explains what they found before leaving site. Here is how a visit unfolds.
Before and on arrival
Once your strata manager or committee confirms a time, we agree on access to common areas and any lots that need checking. On the day, the technician introduces themselves and walks the site with whoever is available to point out known concerns.
What the technician checks
The inspection moves through the areas where termites most often go unnoticed:
We use thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and acoustic devices to detect activity behind walls and inside timber without unnecessary damage.
Findings and next steps
We explain what we found on site, in plain language, and note whether it sits on common property or within a lot. A written report follows for your records, with clear options if treatment is needed. The same process applies to any termite inspection in Melbourne’s north-west, so if you manage other buildings, we can cover those too.
A sound plan starts with an annual termite inspection by a certified specialist, and we back that with clear terms you can put in front of your owners corporation.
Andy’s Pest Control is a family business with over 10 years of local experience. When you call, you deal with us directly.
Every inspection and treatment is carried out by a licensed technician, so your committee has accountable records to file.
We charge no call-out fee, and a free termite inspection means your scheme can get a clear picture before committing to anything.
You receive a fixed-value price up front and pay once the work is completed, which makes levy budgeting simpler for your strata manager.
If you are not satisfied, we return to make it right. Outcomes can vary with infestation severity, so follow-up visits form part of the plan.
We are available early, late and on weekends across Epping and surrounding suburbs, and we do our best to offer same-day visits when technician availability allows.
Once a year is the standard we recommend for strata schemes, carried out by a licensed technician. Buildings with older timber, leaking gutters or a history of activity may benefit from a second check. Regular visits catch problems while they are still small and cheaper to deal with.
It depends on where the activity is. The owners corporation usually funds treatment in common property through levies, while owners pay for activity inside their own lot. Your strata manager can confirm the boundary, and we note the location clearly in our report so there is no dispute later.
We document exactly where activity started and where it has spread. That record helps the committee and the owner agree on who is responsible. We treat the source first so the problem does not keep travelling.
The right option depends on the species and the building. For subterranean termites such as Coptotermes acinaciformis, we typically use soil barriers or bait systems. Our technician explains the choice before any work begins, with fixed-value pricing so there are no surprises.
Safety is part of how we plan every job. We choose products and methods suited to occupied buildings, and we tell residents what to expect, including any simple precautions. If you have pets or young children in the scheme, let us know when booking.
We cannot promise that, and we would be wary of anyone who does. Results vary with how established the infestation is. Treatment followed by ongoing monitoring gives the best protection, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee backs the work we carry out.
