Sydney Pest Control Company Urges Homeowners to Book Termite Inspections as Spring Begins
EMK Termite & Pest Control Sydney is urging Sydney homeowners to book a termite inspection this spring, as warmer weather increases termite activity. Termite damage is usually not covered by home insurance, so owners often pay for repairs themselves.

SYDNEY, Australia - 24 September 2026 - EMK Termite & Pest Control Sydney is urging Sydney homeowners to book a termite inspection this spring. Warmer weather increases termite activity, and damage often goes unseen until repairs are costly.
Termites feed on timber inside walls, floors and roof spaces, so an infestation can stay hidden for months. Common warning signs include mud-like tunnels on walls or under the floor, timber that sounds hollow when tapped, and paint or plaster that bubbles or cracks for no clear reason.
The risk is widespread. CSIRO estimates that about one in five Australian homes will be affected by termites at some point. Industry estimates of the yearly cost of termite damage across Australia range from hundreds of millions of dollars to more than $1 billion.
Most standard home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Repairs to structural timber can cost tens of thousands of dollars, while a professional inspection typically costs a few hundred.
CSIRO recommends a licensed inspection at least once a year. Homes with garden beds against the walls, timber touching the ground, leaking pipes or old tree stumps nearby are at higher risk.
"Many homeowners only call us after they have found damage," said Eevil Kakoo, CEO at EMK Termite & Pest Control Sydney. "A yearly inspection can find activity early, when treatment is simpler and repairs are smaller."
Between inspections, homeowners can lower their risk by fixing leaks, keeping garden soil and mulch below the level of the home's foundations, storing firewood away from the house, and keeping the area under the floor well ventilated.
