Tom’s Pest Control Canberra Prevents Termite Damage at Local Primary School with Early Intervention and Monitoring

Tom’s Pest Control Canberra stops early termite activity at school, ensuring safety with non-invasive treatment, monitoring, and education facility pest control

CANBERRA, ACT, AUSTRALIA, July 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tom’s Pest Control Canberra has helped a local primary school avoid costly termite-related damage after signs of early infestation were discovered near classrooms and outbuildings. The proactive response resulted in targeted treatment and a long-term monitoring plan to ensure student safety and structural protection.

Spotting Termites Early to Protect School Infrastructure
The school contacted Tom’s Pest Control after a staff member noticed soft skirting boards and mud leads around an older classroom building. Given the school’s multiple timber-framed structures and the known risk of termite activity in Canberra’s outer suburbs, swift action was essential.
“Termites can cause serious structural issues, especially in educational environments where timber is commonly used,” said Stefan Barker, spokesperson for Tom’s Pest Control. “In this case, early detection made all the difference in preventing a much bigger problem.”
This case highlights the need for specialised education facility pest control, where prompt and discreet intervention is essential for protecting both people and property.

Non-Invasive Termite Control and Monitoring
Tom’s Pest Control conducted a full termite inspection of the school grounds, covering:
• Classrooms
• Administration blocks
• Storage areas
• Outdoor garden zones
Using a combination of moisture meters, thermal imaging, and tapping tools, termite activity was confirmed in an exterior wall and in a garden shed used for sporting equipment. Fortunately, damage was still at an early stage.
A comprehensive plan was immediately put into action:
• Targeted Chemical Treatment: Applied in affected areas without disruption to school routines
• Baiting & Monitoring Stations: Installed across key risk zones to detect future activity
• Preventative Guidance: Provided to school staff on moisture control and removing timber debris
All work was completed in accordance with school safety policies and outside of student-use hours.

Long-Term Safety and Peace of Mind
Thanks to the fast response and early-stage discovery, the school avoided significant structural damage. With termite monitoring stations now in place, staff are confident that any future activity will be detected early.
“The team now has clear visibility of termite risks and a trusted partner for ongoing support,” Stefan Barker added. “Our job is to protect both the buildings and the people who use them every day.”
