St Ives Chase is a small residential suburb in Ku-ring-gai Council, about 18 km north of the Sydney CBD in postcode 2075. It has no through traffic and is reached only from St Ives, via Warrimoo Avenue. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park wraps around it and separates it from North Turramurra, and many properties sit very close to the bushland. A small group of shops, Warrimoo Oval and Toolang Oval serve the community, and brush turkeys are a familiar sight in gardens.
With bush pressed against so many blocks, St Ives Chase is a suburb where outdoor pests set the agenda. Funnel-web spiders, ticks, bush rats and possums come in from the park, and subterranean termites are a steady risk for homes surrounded by trees. Rabbits and brush turkeys can also dig up garden beds, disturbing mulch around foundations. We concentrate on the house perimeter, roof and sub-floor where bush pests make their way in.
We cover every street in St Ives Chase, from the shops near the entrance to homes at the bush edge. North Turramurra, St Ives, North Wahroonga and Turramurra are on the same route, so same or next-day visits are usually possible.

What we actually see on the ground in St Ives Chase, and why it changes the treatment.
The Mall Reserve is about 0.1 km away, with trees and grass that shelter ants and spiders. Terramerragal Reserve lies about 0.4 km away, bushland close enough to send termites, funnel-webs and possums toward nearby homes. Pymble Golf Club, about 2.2 km away, is the closest large irrigated turf.
Because the bush is so near, we inspect sub-floors, roof voids and garden timber closely, and recommend yearly termite checks for most homes.

Get a Free QuoteBrush turkeys are protected and not pests we treat, but their mound building can drag mulch and leaf litter against house walls. That damp layer can hide termite entry and shelter spiders. Raking it back regularly helps keep the perimeter clear.
There is no fixed distance, but homes surrounded by trees and near national park bushland do face ongoing termite pressure. The practical answer is yearly inspections, from $159, and considering a barrier or baiting system if activity is found.
Yes. A perimeter and sub-floor treatment, clearing rocks and timber near doors and fitting door seals all reduce how many enter. They will keep arriving from the bush, so an annual treatment is worthwhile. Call 000 for any bite.
Yes, regularly. It is part of our Ku-ring-gai route through St Ives and North Turramurra, so the single road in is no obstacle. Book by calling 1300 313 373.
Yes. We use APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products, and gels and baits go into cracks and voids that children and pets cannot reach. You are told the re-entry time on the day, usually once surfaces are dry, and which areas not to wipe so the treatment keeps working. Cover fish tanks and switch off pumps before we start.
