Active termites bridging the termite barrier: Why annual inspections matter
During a routine inspection of a home in Wyong, NSW, our technician uncovered active termites bypassing a termite barrier—a clear reminder of why annual termite inspections are essential. This was our first inspection at the property, and signs of termite activity were quickly identified. Following the external perimeter, we found a visible termite trail climbing the brickwork, bridging the termite barrier that had been installed to prevent such infestations.
This type of bridging is a serious concern, as it allows termites to bypass protective measures and begin damaging the structure of a home. Even homes with barriers in place are not immune to attack—making regular inspections vital to early detection and prevention.
In this case, we immediately implemented our Four Step Termite Control Plan to eliminate the colony and protect the home. The homeowner, now fully aware of the threat, has scheduled their annual timber pest inspection for the following year.
Don’t wait for termites to find a way in. Book a professional termite inspection with Precision Pest Control today—because prevention is always better than repair.
