Camp Hill boasts charming Queenslanders, leafy streets, and a strong sense of community. However, with our warm, humid climate, homes in Camp Hill are prime targets for one of Australia’s most destructive pests: termites.
Why Camp Hill Homes Are Vulnerable to Termites
Living in Brisbane means enjoying long summers and lush gardens, but it also creates ideal conditions for termites. These pests thrive in heat, moisture, and timber, making our suburb a perfect playground for them.
Key factors include:
- Year-Round Activity: Unlike cooler regions where termites slow down in winter, Brisbane’s consistent warmth keeps them active throughout the year.
- Swarming Season: Spring and early summer, especially after heavy rain, are peak times for flying termites (alates) to establish new colonies.
- Stealthy Intruders: Some termite species build visible mounds, but others nest underground or within structural timbers, making early detection challenging.
Common Entry Points for Termites
Termites can infiltrate your home through:
- Cracks in slabs or foundations
- Soil contact with timber structures
- Blocked weep holes
- Gaps around pipes
- Damp subfloors
- Lack of a termite protection system
What You Can Do About It:
The best defence is a proactive one. At Allure Pest Solutions, we tailor every termite protection plan to the specific needs of your property. That could include:
- Chemical Barriers
We apply a termiticide around the home’s perimeter, creating a treated zone that termites can’t pass through unnoticed. - Baiting and Monitoring Systems
These are perfect for ongoing protection. Bait stations are strategically placed to attract termites, then eliminate the colony over time. - Regular Termite Inspections
A yearly inspection can help catch activity early—before termites cause expensive structural damage.
If you live in Camp Hill or anywhere across Brisbane to The Sunshine Coast and haven’t had a termite inspection in a while, now’s a good time to act. Termites won’t wait—and neither should you. Give Allure Pest Solutions a call and let’s make sure your home stays termite-free.
