The termite management notice in your Officer meter box

In short: A small card in the meter box records how a home is protected against termites.

What it is

A durable notice recording the termite management system installed, when, and what upkeep it needs.

When it is missing

We have found Officer homes without one. The protection history is then unknown.

What to do

Ask the vendor, builder or previous installer for the details.

During the build

We check physical barriers under external walls at frame stage, while they are visible.

Written by our local inspection team from work carried out in Officer. Licensed building practitioners, Building & Plumbing Commission registration CDB-U 53425.
