Termite inspections in Carindale - Your local company

Based in Cannon Hill, Conquer Termites are truly your local termite and pest experts. We have been servicing the suburb of Carindale for nearly 20 years, allowing us to understand the construction type and issues affecting homeowners in Carindale.

The incidents of houses in Carindale being found with live termites (white ants) have ominously increased over the summer of 2022/23. Recently, our company has been requested by Carindale homeowners to treat not one but several homes on the same street! 

Many homeowners are asking us what is causing the increase in termite damage and infestations. There is not one answer to this phenomenon of nature, but many reasons combine to cause a shocking outcome for many unsuspecting owners.

In our opinion, the primary reason for the increase of termites in Carindale is the fact that we have experienced two above-average, wet summers in a row. Water is vital for termites’ survival. They need a continuous supply of water to digest the timber and cultivate the fungus for their diet. Also, the moist loose soil allows the termites to forage more aggressively and at greater distances.

Another factor that we believe to be causing an upturn in termites in Carindale is the fact that the neighbourhood is maturing and, in some places, more than 30 years old. This means the original chemical treatments have expired, and there is no protection for the increasing numbers of termites. Combine this with the fact that many of the gardens have older trees and stumps that could be harbouring a termite nest.

 If you are concerned about your home, or it has been more than 12 months since you got it last inspected, you should make it a priority.
