Common Types of Termites in Melbourne
Different termite species pose different levels of risk. Here are the most common types found in Melbourne properties:
Coptotermes acinaciformis
The most destructive termite species in Australia, responsible for the majority of structural damage in Melbourne homes.
Schedorhinotermes intermedius
A high-risk species commonly found in older Melbourne properties, often damaging stumps, decking, and wall timbers.
Nasutitermes walkeri
A tree-dwelling species that can spread from nearby trees and gardens to timber structures on your property.
Heterotermes ferox
Commonly found in garden timbers, fence posts, and decking, and can spread into the main structure if untreated.
How to Reduce Termite Risk Around Your Property
While professional inspections are essential, there are steps you can take to reduce termite attraction:
- Fix leaking pipes, taps, and drainage issues promptly
- Ensure subfloor ventilation is clear and adequate
- Remove timber debris, woodpiles, and garden stakes near the house
- Keep garden beds away from the building perimeter
- Use metal or concrete garden edging rather than timber
- Avoid storing timber in contact with the soil
- Maintain termite barriers and have them inspected regularly

What Our Termite Inspection Includes
Our licensed technicians conduct a comprehensive inspection of accessible areas throughout your property, including:
- Interior rooms and timber structures
- Roof voids and ceiling spaces
- Subfloors and crawl spaces
- External walls and foundations
- Fences, decking, pergolas, and retaining walls
- Gardens and surrounding areas where termite activity may originate
We look for active termites, termite workings, mud tubes, damaged timber, moisture issues, and environmental conditions that may increase termite risk.
Why Regular Termite Inspections Are Important
Many property owners assume they would notice termites if they were present. Unfortunately, termites often remain hidden inside walls, subfloors, roof voids, and timber structures for months or even years.
A professional termite inspection can help:
- Detect active termite infestations
- Identify previous termite damage
- Locate termite entry points
- Highlight conditions that attract termites
- Reduce the risk of expensive structural repairs
- Support compliance with Australian Standards recommendations
Early detection is the key to protecting your property investment.
