Repeated activity
If the same pest keeps returning after cleaning or simple control measures, there may be harbourage, entry or a colony that has not been addressed.

Exposed slab edges are important inspection zones because subterranean termites can build concealed or visible entry routes where the slab meets soil, paving or landscaping.

WHAT MATTERS
What to know about slab edge termite entry
Good pest decisions start with the right identification and an understanding of how the activity fits the property. These are the practical points we consider before recommending treatment or further investigation.
- Garden soil or paving that covers the slab edge can reduce visual inspection access.
- Cracks, penetrations and construction joints may provide concealed pathways.
- Keeping inspection zones visible makes future termite detection easier.
Goliath approach
We focus on the source of the activity, the property conditions and a treatment plan that matches the pest rather than relying on generic advice or unnecessary chemical use.

When professional help is useful
Unclear source
When the activity appears in several rooms or shared areas, inspection can help identify how the pest is moving through the property.
Higher-risk areas
Kitchens, commercial sites, roof voids, termite-risk areas and shared buildings often benefit from a structured professional plan.
