Termite risk and pest inspections in Officer VIC
Officer homes are built with a termite management system, and a notice recording it should sit in the meter box. The risk grows after handover, when garden beds, paving and air conditioner drains create damp, hidden paths to the slab edge. Ask your building surveyor whether your lot sits in any council-designated termite area.
Look for the termite management notice before you buy or sell.
Keep garden beds and mulch below the slab edge and weep holes.
Pipe air conditioner condensate to a drain, not onto the soil.
Stack firewood and timber away from the house.
Book a timber pest inspection every year or two.
