A Beautiful Tweed Coast morning (Do the pests even know how good the view is?)
The Tweed Coast is a stunning stretch of New South Wales, known for its beautiful beaches, lush landscapes, and relaxed lifestyle. It’s the kind of place that makes you grateful to call it home. However, with all this natural beauty comes the challenge of keeping our homes safe from unwanted guests—specifically pests. One of the biggest concerns for residents here? Termites. Let's take a closer look at why they love this region and what you can do to keep them out of your home.
Why Do Termites Thrive on the Tweed Coast?
The warm, humid climate of the Tweed Coast is ideal for termites. I guess it’s their version of paradise too. With plenty of moisture in the air and access to timber in many homes and properties, termites find it easy to establish themselves and start causing trouble. These fascinating but destructive pests aren't just a nuisance—they're experts at silently working away at the wood in your home, which can quickly lead to significant damage in our local climate.
Termites are a major problem throughout Australia, damaging around 160,000 homes every year. Our coastal towns, with their mix of natural bushland and residential areas, are especially attractive to these pests. Whether you’re in a new build or a charming older property, the risk is there.

Simple Steps You Can Take
While professional help is crucial, there are a few things you can do to make your property less appealing to termites:
- Manage moisture: Termites are drawn to damp areas. Fix any leaks in and around your home, and make sure you have proper drainage to avoid pooling water.
- Store wood properly: If you use firewood or keep timber for projects, store it well away from your house and off the ground if possible.
- Routine checks: Even between our inspections, keep an eye out for any signs of termite activity, like mud tubes or damaged wood.
