What to Know About Pests in Geelong
Geelong's outer suburbs and the Bellarine Peninsula have lower termite pressure than Melbourne's outer east, but Coptotermes and Nasutitermes are present in established garden areas and bushland-adjacent properties. Geelong's Barwon River corridor sustains termite populations in native riverine vegetation that can spread into adjacent residential areas. The Otway Ranges fringe (Anglesea, Aireys Inlet) has particularly high termite pressure from dense native forest. Agriculture Victoria administers pest management licensing for all Victoria including Geelong.
