Does a brand new Palmerston home still need termite protection?

Yes. A new Palmerston home still sits on Top End soil where subterranean termites are active, and a fresh concrete slab is not termite-proof on its own. Northern Rock can confirm the pre-construction protection already in place and set up an ongoing termite inspection schedule to keep the home covered
