It is worth getting it done properly. And - it may cost a bit to get it checked - not thousands .... Then - you may need an annual check. Thank you =) Will do that Re: Termites in the garden - Perth 6May 27, 2014 2:17 pm Our pest guy has always pointed out termites in our garden in our annual inspection but wasn't worried about them. I think they must be the wrong species or far enough from the house or something. So yeah, get a reputable pest company to come have a look.

Is the area known for termites ? You may need a total check. But - you have to trust the expert. You're sure they are termites ?

I'd rather get an actual termite and pest inspection for a hundred or two. Its not really an assessment, they just come in to discuss the needs. They do charge money for the proper inspection. But I want to ask them questions first =) Re: Termites in the garden - Perth 12May 28, 2014 2:36 pm As termites are moving through the ground all the time then don't do nothing, except for checking that there are no mud tunnels running up from the ground on the side/walls of the slab/house. If you see this then get a qualified pest controller to treat this invasion. I wouldn't worry if they are in the garden.
