The total number of termite treatments carried out by Pestec over this summer was down slightly to the previous three years. An interesting period is happening now where the total amount of termite treatments in Sydney for Pestec is up substatially for the small part of Autumn that we have had so far. If the trend continues in this way, then overall for the year the total number of termite treatments will again average out.
The cooler weather and rain over Summer in Sydney seems to have meant that homeowners have spent less time outdoors and therefore had less opportunity to find any termite issues that may be existing in their yards, sheds or fences before the termites make their way to the house.
At Pestec we fear that this will mean that many termite infestations in homes that may have been picked up during a "normal" summer will go un noticed until next summer. This will mean that the damage that is suffered from the termite attack will be much worse.
Homeowners that have an annual termite inspection will not suffer the same as those who do no preventative maintenance.
Prevention is better than cure.
