Houses in Chapel Hill face significant threat from termites. In fact, we have looked at our statistics and found that Chapel Hill is among the top 5 suburbs we are called out to do Termite Inspections.

Chapel Hill is one of Brisbane’s most beautiful suburbs, and it is certainly understandable why so many are choosing to take up residence there. It is very attractive to potential homebuyers and established residence, as a suburb less than 10kms South West of Central Brisbane. Added to that convenience is also its natural appeal. Chapel Hill is build right into the foot of Brisbane’s beloved Mount Coot-tha.

Why Chapel Hill is at high risk of termite invasion

Conquer Termites is called out to Chapel Hill’s leafy streets very often. There is a lot of bush land and a lot of fantastic parks in the area running along creeks, so an abundance of trees gives the suburb a wonderful feel. It thus provides a very inviting home to termites. Coptotermes and Schedorhinotemes (Brisbane’s most prolific termites) are presented with a veritable feast of bush land and Gum Trees (Eucalyptus trees are their favourite place to start a colony and build their nests).

Most of the housing in Chapel Hill is at least 20 years old, which means that most chemical treatments installed when the home was built have well and truly worn off; leaving properties susceptible to infestation. In the same vein, many homes in the area have undergone extensive renovations, and most don’t realize that when they do this they MUST get their chemical and physical barriers updated.

Brick Veneer homes combined with bushland and gum trees make Chapel Hill a prime area for Termite infestation.

Many of Chapel Hill’s homes are brick veneer, built in the 1990’s. Statistically, brick veneer homes have proven to be particularly vulnerable to termite infestation, as the termites can crawl behind the veneer and remain undetected for a long time. Did you know that termites can actually be eating your house, undetected for up to 10 years? This alone seems a good reason to have regular inspections if there ever was one.
