At Precision Pest Control, we understand that when it comes to termite control it is important to have local knowledge of the area in which the termite treatment will be carried out. This is because every suburb we visit is different, as are the areas in which they are located. 

Lake Macquarie is one of the areas in which we often perform termite treatments, and is on our list of top 10 termite spots on the Central Coast.

Lake Macquarie is surrounded by several coastal towns or suburbs like:

• Catherine Hill Bay
• Caves Beach

All of which we visit on a regular basis to carry out termite treatments and inspections.
