Owner-Operated Service
Termite & Pest Control in Round Mountain
I'm Shannon Kitchener. Homes and investment properties in Round Mountain get a direct service from me: inspection, treatment recommendations and prevention planning, no call centre in between.
Understanding termite risk in Round Mountain
No two suburbs handle moisture and timber contact the same way. In Round Mountain I start from what's actually common locally, not a standard national checklist.
You'll get a plain-language explanation of any Round Mountain findings, plus a manageable path forward, whether that's prevention, monitoring or treatment.
What I look for first in Round Mountain
The suburbs I service each have a different risk fingerprint, and in Round Mountain it usually comes back to a similar set of conditions. Here that translates to acreage moisture variation and timber outbuildings, both of which extend how long timber stays damp enough to attract termites.
On acreage and semi-rural blocks around Round Mountain, sheds, stored timber and fence lines sit further from the house than in a standard suburban yard, so a wider property walk is usually part of getting an accurate picture. Keep timber stacks and firewood away from structures where practical.
Whatever the address, a Round Mountain inspection starts with the same practical risk points. Common issues include:
- Garden beds, mulch or soil built up against external walls and slab edges.
- Retaining walls or garden edging built directly against timber cladding or framing.
- Stored timber, old stumps, fencing offcuts or cardboard left close to the house.
- Overgrown vegetation or climbing plants making contact with eaves, fascias or walls.
None of this replaces a proper inspection of your Round Mountain property, but knowing your own risk pattern helps you act on treatment advice faster if something turns up.
Local termite focus for Round Mountain
Round Mountain inspections focus on the same core areas every time: moisture, timber-to-ground contact, garden layout and access points. What shifts locally is the influence of acreage moisture variation and timber outbuildings.
I'd rather give Round Mountain owners straightforward advice than a sales pitch, so get in touch and we can plan the next step together.
Clear findings for Round Mountain properties
For Round Mountain properties, I document what I find with photos and translate it into a clear priority order, feeding into a practical prevention plan rather than a vague checklist.
Whatever I find on a Round Mountain property, the outcome I'm working towards is the same: lower risk, a protected building, and a decision you're confident in.
Services in Round Mountain
For larger blocks and lifestyle homes in Round Mountain, the core service covers three things:

- Prevention planning to reduce future termite pressure.
What a termite inspection in Round Mountain actually covers
On a Round Mountain job I check what I can safely reach inside and out, then write up both what I found and where my view was restricted. A report that hides its own limits is not much use to you later.
- Accessible interior rooms, including wet areas, cupboards and skirtings where they can be reached
- The subfloor and roof void where the building has them and entry is safe
- The full external perimeter, slab edges, weep holes and any ground-to-timber contact
- Fences, decks, retaining walls, stumps and outbuildings close to the house
- Moisture sources — drainage, leaks, air-conditioning discharge and irrigation against walls
- A written report covering findings, the areas I could not access, and what I would do next
If there is activity in a Round Mountain building, I will show you where it is and explain what treating it would actually involve, including what I cannot promise.
Booking an inspection in Round Mountain
For anything in Round Mountain, calling 0405 508 035 and describing what you have found gets you an answer faster than any form will. I would rather talk it through than guess from a photo. If it is easier to write it down, the form below reaches me directly.
Round Mountain and the Pottsville and Cudgera Creek area are on my regular run, so getting out there is not usually the constraint. Working to a settlement date? Mention it up front and I will be straight with you about timing.
Questions I get asked in Round Mountain
Do I need to be home for the inspection in Round Mountain?
It helps, but it isn't essential. I can talk you through access requirements for your Round Mountain property when you book, and send through photo-backed findings either way.
What termite services do you provide in Round Mountain?
I provide termite inspections, treatment planning, and prevention-focused follow-up for homes and investment properties across Round Mountain.

Yes. Most of my Round Mountain work is with larger blocks and lifestyle homes, and I adjust the inspection and any follow-up around what that property type typically needs.
What should I do before you visit a property in Round Mountain?
For a Round Mountain visit, clear access to the subfloor, roof void and external walls where possible. Beyond that, just flag anything unusual you've noticed so I can look at it directly.
How often should properties in Round Mountain be inspected?
Most homes in Round Mountain should be inspected at least annually, and sooner if you have had previous activity, renovations, or water ingress issues.
What type of properties are typical in Round Mountain?
Round Mountain is mostly larger blocks and lifestyle homes, and that shapes how I plan an inspection, since different building types expose different access points.
