Termite Prevention in Newcastle
Termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fire, flood and storms combined — and it's not covered by insurance. Prevention through annual inspections, barriers and monitoring is essential in Newcastle and the Hunter.
The Problem
Newcastle and the Hunter are high-risk termite areas. Subterranean termites can cause catastrophic structural damage — often uninsured. Without prevention, termites can consume structural timber for months or years before detection.
Our Solution
We provide annual termite inspections, chemical soil barrier installation, baiting and monitoring systems, and advice on reducing termite risk (moisture, timber-on-ground, ventilation). Prevention is far cheaper than treatment and repairs.

FAQ
Termite Prevention — your questions answered
How much does termite prevention cost?+

How often should I get a termite inspection?+
Annual termite inspections are recommended for all Newcastle and Hunter homes. Higher-risk properties (older homes, bushland settings, previous termite activity) may benefit from more frequent inspections.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?+
No. Standard home insurance does not cover termite damage. This makes prevention — annual inspections and proactive protection — essential for protecting your home.
