Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Melbourne, a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild, drier winters, and Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and humidity rather than winter cold. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
