Key Pests in Pimpama
TERMITES! TERMITES! TERMITES!
Yes, there are other pests in Pimpama, including ants, cockroaches and mosquitoes, but for homeowners in Pimpama, termites are the main cause for concern.
This is because all the new homes being built in Pimpama are on land reclaimed from the bush, where the termite pressure is very high. Coupled with the fact that the new homes being built are all concrete slab construction (which means it can be easier for termites to get into the house without being noticed), Pimpama is a real termite hotspot!
Risks of a Termite Attack in Pimpama
The chances of your home coming under termite attack in Australia is around 1 in 5, but in Pimpama it is closer to 1 in 3. In fact CSIRO estimate that 80% of all homes in Australia are within 25 m of a termite nest.
Apart from the high termite pressure in Pimpama, the reason homes in Pimpama are under increased threat of termite damage is due to their construction.
Most homes in Pimpama are built on a concrete slab. If there are any cracks in the slab or gaps around pipework penetrations, then it is very easy for termites to get into the building without being noticed. The other issue is that often garden beds, paths and other landscaping are built incorrectly around the perimeter of the home, again providing termites with a concealed entry point.
Regular professional termite inspections are a must to spot these problems (so then can be fixed) and pick up the early signs of termite activity. Normally annual termite inspections are recommended, but for homes in the Pimpama area that don’t have a termite protection system in place, Gold Coast Pest Services recommend inspections every 6 months.
Of course, if there is no termite protection system already in place, we recommend either a soil treatment around the perimeter of the home or installing a termite monitoring and baiting system, so ensure the long term protection of your home.
About Pimpama
Pimpama is at the north end of the Gold Coast and is the fastest growing area in Queensland. Originally farming land, the land is low lying and includes the Pimpama river. There are a large number of new housing estates under construction and more planned.
New homes in pimpama
With these new housing estates being built on land that was original bush or agricultural land, there are a large numbers of termite nests in the area, so it’s important that homes have robust termite protection systems in place and homeowners should be religious in getting regular termite inspections (at least annually).
