Conditions around Donnybrook homes that invite termites
Mostly about the ground, not the building.
In short: Risk here comes from what surrounds the house rather than the house itself.
What conducive means
Anything supplying food, water or shelter close to the structure.
Drainage
Water discharging beside the slab keeps the ground damp, which is the strongest single invitation.
Beds against the wall
Soil banked against brickwork bridges the barrier and hides evidence.
Leak points
An internal leak keeps timber damp from the inside, which we have recorded here.
Stored timber
Offcuts, firewood and old fencing stacked against a wall.
