Repairing the damage
Hold the repairs until elimination is confirmed - taking out the timber early removes the bait. Then have a builder assess the structural members, bearers and studs and roof timbers included.

Local Termite Control for Breakfast Point
What we cover in Breakfast Point, and how quickly we can get there.
Our Inner West technicians cover Breakfast Point and the rest of 2137 as a matter of course - it is only about 9.3 km west of the city. Our technicians are through Breakfast Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
The Breakfast Point addresses we attend cluster around Parramatta River Regional Park and Cabarita Shopping Centre. Massey Park Golf Course is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
Under Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay, we cover Breakfast Point and Cabarita, Mortlake and Concord alike. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
Around Breakfast Point the pattern is fairly consistent: terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
Breakfast Point Village Green and the remainder of 2137 are on the same run.
The 2137 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Cabarita and Mortlake fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Breakfast Point
A mature colony can run to a million workers and eat through structural timber steadily rather than dramatically. Most of the serious damage we find in Breakfast Point homes accumulated over years in a wall nobody opened.
Tap along the skirting, the architraves and the door frames. Sound timber gives a solid note; timber eaten from inside gives a light, drum-like one. It is the cheapest check a Breakfast Point owner can do.
Termites are after cellulose, which means skirtings, architraves, door jambs, built-in wardrobes, floorboards and the paper facing on plasterboard - not just the frame. Stored cardboard and books in a Breakfast Point garage are fair game too.
- We confirm what it is and where it is active before treating
- Either baiting or a soil barrier - or a combination of them
- Written record of products and areas treated
- Warranty conditions put in writing as part of the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Breakfast Point
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
Stations set into the soil around the building. Once termites find the timber inside, it is swapped for bait they carry back to the nest, which is how the colony is eliminated.
Station Checks & Refills
Every station is opened on a set schedule so feeding can be assessed and bait replenished. Programs that fail usually failed because the checks lapsed.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Active workings in a door frame or wall cavity can take bait fixed directly over them. Feeding starts at once, which is the fastest way onto a colony.
Chemical Soil Barrier
Termiticide placed into the soil around the building - trenched where there is soil, injected through drilled holes where there is concrete - forming a treated zone termites have to cross.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
Suspended floors get the subfloor done too: the soil at the piers and along the walls, because that is where concealed attacks most often begin.
Damage Assessment
The eaten timber is identified and recorded so a builder can quote. Hold the repairs until the colony is confirmed dead or you may remove what they are feeding on.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Breakfast Point
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Please do not spray. It kills the visible workers and causes the colony to abandon the site, and an abandoned site is useless for baiting.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Don't pull the workings apart. Exposed tubes dry and the colony retreats, which costs time on the treatment.
Take Photos
If you can, photograph what you found - tubing, damaged timber, flying insects - and tell us where. It shapes how we scope the inspection.
Look for Moisture
Have a look for a dripping tap, a hot water overflow or an air conditioner drain near where you found them. Damp soil is an attractant and has to be dealt with as well.
Book Promptly
Subterranean termites feed continuously, so waiting costs timber. Same-day and next-day inspections are available right across Sydney.
Tell Your Strata Manager
Activity in one lot of a strata building is rarely confined to that lot. Let the strata manager know as soon as you find it.

WHY IT MATTERS
Baiting vs Soil Barrier: Which Treatment Fits?
Both are recognised approaches for existing buildings under AS 3660.2. The right choice depends on your property.
| Consideration | Baiting system | Chemical soil barrier | Combination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main job | Eliminates the colony feeding on the building | Creates a treated zone so termites travelling through the soil are affected | Removes the active colony and protects against new ones |
| What the work involves | Setting stations into the soil around the building and baiting active workings directly | Trenching the footings and injecting through drilled holes in paths and slabs | The bait goes in first; the soil treatment follows once elimination is confirmed |
| Disruption to the property | Very little - no paths drilled, no garden beds dug up | Small holes through paving, sealed afterwards, and trenching along garden beds | Shared out over several staged visits |
| Maintenance | Scheduled checks of each station, which also serve as monitoring | Longevity depends on the label and the site, and it can be renewed | Ongoing station checks run in parallel with the barrier |
| Suits | Active termites, heavily paved sites, or where chemical use needs limiting | Homes with good access to soil around the footings | Heavy activity, repeat attacks or high-risk sites near bushland |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Breakfast Point
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
Identification comes first, then we trace the workings and search the roof void, subfloor and garden to locate the nest and the entry points.
02
Written Treatment Plan
The plan is written down and priced: method, areas treated, products used, follow-up visits included.
03
Treat the Active Colony
Bait goes onto active workings or into in-ground stations, or termiticide is applied to the soil where termites travel.
04
Monitor Until Elimination
Follow-up visits continue until activity has stopped, checking and topping up bait each time. Colony size and season set the timeline.
05
Protect the Building
Once it is dead we talk about keeping the next one out - soil barrier, ongoing station checks, or both.
06
Records & Next Inspection
Everything applied is recorded in writing, with the recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Breakfast Point
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| How far it has spread | One door frame is quick. Activity through the subfloor and into the wall frames is a much bigger job |
| The approach taken | Bait above ground, stations in the ground and a complete soil barrier are not comparable on product or labour |
| How big and how reachable | Time goes up with perimeter length, and again with low subfloor clearance or narrow side access |
| Paving and slabs | Where a path, patio or garage slab has to be drilled and injected, it takes longer than open ground |
| Return visits | A baiting program runs until the colony is eliminated, and a big colony needs more visits to get there |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Breakfast Point
Living with bait stations
In-ground stations sit flush with the soil and have locking lids. Don't move them, bury them under mulch or pour concrete over them. Tell us before landscaping so stations can be relocated.
Looking after a soil barrier
Leave the treated soil undisturbed. New beds, paving or decking against the wall can cut through the zone - call us first and we will plan around it.
- Keep soil and mulch down below the weep holes
- Keep firewood and timber off the walls
- Deal with leaks anywhere near the footings
Keeping watch
AS 3660.2 generally recommends inspections at least every 12 months, and more often in high-risk areas. After treatment, regular inspections are what catch a new colony early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Breakfast Point
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Garden beds built against the house, burying the slab edge out of sight
- Leaking taps, downpipes or hot water overflow pipes near the footings
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Tree stumps, old sleepers or timber offcuts still sitting in the yard
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Rendered-over or obstructed weep holes in the brick walls
- Damp soil under the house and not enough subfloor ventilation
- Building materials or firewood kept up against the building
- Extensions and decks where the termite protection was never joined up
- Timber retaining walls close to the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Breakfast Point
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Breakfast Point properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.
If you are buying in Breakfast Point, get the timber pest inspection done before you exchange, not after. Afterwards it is information; beforehand it is leverage.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Breakfast Point and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.

FAQ
Termite Control Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? Call us — we're happy to help.
Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in Breakfast Point?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Breakfast Point 2137, with no call-out fee. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Breakfast Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 9.3 km west of the city here, and Breakfast Point is covered by the Inner West team.
Why are termites such a problem in Breakfast Point?
Two things stack up here: shared structure and old drainage. Either one on its own is manageable; together they are why termites in this kind of housing is a street-level problem.
Is Breakfast Point mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Terraces and semis that share walls, roof voids and drainage - so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Breakfast Point?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Breakfast Point 2137 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
How long does the treatment take?
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
What happens if it is not fixed?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Do you cover the suburbs around Breakfast Point too?
We do. Breakfast Point and Cabarita, Mortlake, Concord and Abbotsford are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
