Termite Risk in Perth
Perth's northern corridor (Joondalup, Wanneroo, Yanchep, Alkimos) and the Hills and Swan Valley are the highest termite risk areas. Perth's sandy soils in the northern coastal corridor allow rapid termite movement. Homes with timber subfloors or adjacent to bush reserves carry elevated risk across all Perth suburbs. WA pest management technicians must hold a licence from DEMIRS's Pest Management Control Board. demirs.wa.gov.au
