Darwin’s warm, humid climate can create conditions that are favourable to termite activity, so many homeowners arrange inspections annually or as recommended for the property. A licensed pest professional will usually check accessible areas such as subfloors, roof spaces, walls, gardens and timber structures for termites, damage and conditions that may attract them. They may use moisture meters or other detection equipment, although some areas can remain inaccessible. Ask the pest controller for a written report, treatment options and advice suited to your home.
