The Pest Problem in Chisholm
Three issues dominate. First, earthworks scatter existing ant colonies, and they resurface along the slab edge, driveway joints and retaining walls across a whole street for two or three summers. Second, new estates here sit beside remnant bushland and paddocks with ongoing termite pressure, and no barrier removes that — it only delays it, and only if it was installed correctly. Third, landscaping: fresh turf, irrigation and garden beds built up against the wall create exactly the moist soil termites look for, while concealing the inspection zone a barrier needs. Builder handover documents matter, because a barrier claim depends on knowing what was installed and when.
Understanding Chisholm's Conditions
We ask for the handover records first, then inspect the barrier zones before landscaping covers them. Ant work is targeted at nests and slab edges with non-repellent products rather than blanket spraying a new lawn, and we recommend monitoring along the bush or paddock boundary from the first year, with a full inspection at the twelve-month mark.
