Conducive conditions around Werribee homes

The everyday things that make a house more attractive to termites.

Werribee 3030 · 4 June 2026

In short: Most termite risk is created by what sits around a house, not by the house itself.

Moisture

Leaking taps, poor drainage and ground falling toward the walls keep soil damp, which termites need.

Timber in contact with the ground

Old sleepers, stored timber and fence posts give termites food close to the house.

Concealment

Garden beds, stored items and climbing plants against walls hide termite activity from view.

Gaps

Open joints in brick veneer give pests a route into the wall cavity.

What the report does

It lists each conducive condition we can see so you can remove it, which reduces risk more than anything else you can do.

FAQ

Questions Werribee owners ask about this

Is a conducive condition the same as termites?

No. It means the conditions favour termites, not that they are present.

Should I get a treatment?

Speak to a licensed pest manager about protection; we do not treat.

How often should I check?

Annually is the usual advice.

Can I fix them myself?

Many, yes: move timber away, fix leaks and clear the base of walls.
