Our Termite Treatment Process

Professional, proven, and backed by our warranty

1

Thermal & Moisture Inspection

Using thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, we detect termite activity hidden inside walls, floors, and roof structures without drilling.

2

Termite Species Identification

We identify the species (Coptotermes, Schedorhinotermes, Nasutitermes) — each has different colony sizes and treatment requirements.

3

Active Colony Treatment

If live termites are found, we apply colony elimination products (Termidor or similar) directly to active workings to destroy the colony from within.

4

Chemical Soil Barrier

A continuous treated zone is created in the soil around your property's perimeter using Termidor or equivalent, preventing future termite entry for 8+ years.

5

Annual Monitoring Program

We recommend annual termite inspections (AS 3660.2 compliant) to catch any new activity early. Monitoring stations can be installed for ongoing protection.

Signs You Need Termite Treatment & Inspection

Watch for these warning signs around your property

Mud tubes (leads) on foundations, walls, or stumps — termites build these to travel between soil and food

Hollow-sounding timber when tapped — termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a paper-thin shell

Buckling or bubbling paint, sagging floors, or doors and windows that suddenly stick

Alate swarms — winged termites emerging from soil or timber in warm, humid weather (October-February)

DIY vs Professional Treatment

There is no effective DIY termite treatment. Over-the-counter products can scatter termites to new areas of your home, cause colonies to split, and give you false confidence while damage continues invisibly. Termite treatment requires professional-grade products and licensed applicators.

When Pests Are Most Active

Termite alate (flying termite) swarms in Sydney occur between October and February, typically on warm evenings after rain. However, subterranean termites are active 24/7, year-round — damage continues in every season.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

The longer you delay, the worse it gets

Termites cause over $1.5 billion in damage to Australian homes annually — more than fires, floods, and storms combined

Structural timber damage from termites can make homes unsafe to occupy if left untreated

Termite damage is NOT covered by standard home insurance policies in Australia

Termite Treatment & Inspection FAQ — Sydney

Common questions from Sydney residents

How much does termite treatment cost?
Termite treatment costs depend on your property size, construction type, and severity of infestation. A chemical soil barrier for an average Sydney home typically ranges from $3,000-$5,000. Inspections start from $250.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
No. Standard home insurance policies in Australia specifically exclude termite damage. This is why prevention through regular inspections and chemical barriers is essential.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends annual termite inspections for all properties. Homes in high-risk areas (near bushland, with previous history) may benefit from 6-monthly checks.
Can I still get termites with a chemical barrier?
A properly installed chemical barrier provides excellent protection for 8+ years. However, gaps can occur from landscaping, renovations, or plumbing work that breaks the treated zone. Annual inspections catch any breaches.
