Active termites found behind powerpoint at Cooranbong property
At Precision Pest Control, we strongly recommend annual timber pest inspections to help homeowners detect termite activity before it leads to serious damage. Termites often gain access to homes through hidden or hard-to-reach areas, making regular inspections essential.
Our team was recently called out to a home in Cooranbong, NSW, where the owner reported that no pest inspection had been conducted since purchasing the property. During our technician’s inspection, subtle signs of termite activity were discovered beneath the home. He traced the trail, which led to electrical wiring connected to a kitchen power point.
With the assistance of a licensed electrician, the power point was safely removed—revealing an active Coptotermes nest and mud tubes behind the outlet. This posed a serious structural risk as well as a potential fire hazard due to the proximity to electrical components.
Our technician immediately informed the homeowner and began implementing our Four Step Termite Control Plan. Treatment of the affected areas was carried out, and a follow-up inspection has been scheduled to monitor progress and prevent further damage.
If your property hasn’t been inspected in over a year, now is the time to act. Book your termite inspection today and protect your home. Find out more about our techniques or book an inspection today, visit:
