Termite Control for Home Owners

For Home Owners

Is termite damage covered by insurance?

Independent surveys show 130,000 homes will be attacked by termites each year. Unfortunately the average cost of damage is $10,000.

Check your home and contents insurance policy and you find damage by vermin (termites are classed are vermin) excluded. Insurance companies don’t cover termite damage as the risk and cost is so high.

Your builder is required to provide an approved form of termite protection as part of the building contract. The objective of an effective termite barrier is to deter concealed termite access from the ground. Check your contract and ask your builder what form of termite protection is included.

Find the right solution

Do I have a choice in the type of protection provided?

Like all products in your home you can select the type of termite protection. A lot of builders do not discuss termite protection but it’s your home and you only get one chance to choose an advanced termite barrier that offers ongoing protection.

Ask your builder what type of termite control is included in your contract. If it isn’t Termimesh tell them you want it included instead of the existing method. Ensure your builder gets a quote from us and includes the price in your contract. Your builder should also give you a rebate on the standard method that is not being used.

Alternatively, contact your Local Centre direct and they can deal direct with your builder on your behalf.

						Adam and the team delivered excellence in their presentation and workmanship. We chose " The Fairway" for the back and front garden and also the nature strip. It has a natural look and is very soft underfoot  which is ideal for children. It  has been a very rewarding decision.
