In Redlands’ warm, humid climate, termites thrive — and they’re causing more damage than many homeowners realise.
These silent destroyers are responsible for an estimated $1.5 billion in property damage across Australia every year, with the average repair bill sitting between $5,000 and $10,000, and in some cases, significantly more. What’s most alarming is that 1 in 3 Australian homes will suffer a termite attack in their lifetime — and Redlands is one of the hotspots.
Unlike floods or fires, termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance policies, meaning the full cost of repairs falls squarely on the homeowner. Termites can be actively eating away at your home for months — even years — before visible signs appear. By then, the structural integrity of your home could already be compromised.
That’s why annual termite inspections are not just recommended — they’re essential. Professional inspections can identify early signs of termite activity before significant damage occurs. For homeowners in high-risk areas like Redlands, pairing regular inspections with an effective termite management system offers the best protection.
Protecting your home is not just about peace of mind — it’s about preserving one of your biggest investments. Whether you’ve never had termites or have dealt with them in the past, proactive maintenance is the key to staying one step ahead.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Book your termite inspection today and safeguard your home against one of Redlands’ most costly and common pests.
