Termite Control Sydney
Targeted termite colony elimination and long-term barrier protection.
Termite control in Sydney is quoted after inspection because the right treatment depends on the property. Options include chemical soil barriers and baiting systems that eliminate the colony. Termites cause more home damage than fire and floods combined and aren't covered by insurance — never disturb a live trail; get a professional inspection first (from $159).

DIY spray vs a professional treatment
How we treat termites
We treat termites with liquid chemical barriers (a treated zone in the soil around the building that termites carry back to the colony) and in-ground baiting systems that eliminate the whole colony over time. Active workings are dusted or foamed first. We never spray a live trail — it scatters the colony and makes eradication harder.
How to prevent termites
- Get a professional termite inspection every 12 months
- Keep soil and mulch below weep holes and slab edges
- Fix leaks, drainage and A/C runoff (termites need moisture)
- Store timber and firewood off the ground, away from walls
- Consider a barrier or baiting system for ongoing protection

How much does termite treatment cost in Sydney?
It's quoted after an inspection because scope varies by property. Inspections start from $159; barriers and baiting systems are priced to your building's size and construction.
What are the first signs of termites?
Mud tubes on walls or foundations, timber that sounds hollow, discarded wings near windows, and rippled or bubbling paint with no plumbing leak nearby.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
Almost never — insurers class termite damage as preventable. That's why annual inspections and a barrier or baiting system are far cheaper than repairs.
Do I need a barrier or a baiting system?
It depends on your soil, construction and access. A technician recommends the best option after inspection — sometimes a combination of both.
Can I treat termites myself?
No — DIY sprays scatter the colony and hide the problem while damage continues. Professional barriers and baiting are the only reliable ways to eliminate them.
