Repairing the damage
Repairs come last. Until we confirm there is no activity, replacing timber can take away the bait the colony was feeding on. Structural timber - bearers, studs, roof members - needs a builder's assessment.

Termite Control Across Campsie
Where Campsie sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Campsie or anywhere else in 2194, you are in our Canterbury-Bankstown patch, 10.9 km south-west of the CBD. We run Campsie on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Campsie work takes in the streets by Sawyer Reserve and Campsie Shopping Centre, through to Belmore station at the other end.
The suburb sits in the Canterbury-Bankstown area. Belmore, Canterbury and Croydon Park are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. 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.
The bulk of our Campsie work is older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
The rest of 2194 is covered too, including the pockets around Flockhart Park and Anzac Park.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2194 run the day before, and if Belmore or Canterbury is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Campsie
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 Campsie garage are fair game too.
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 Campsie homes accumulated over years in a wall nobody opened.
Alates look like flying ants. The giveaway is the wings: termite wings are all the same length and shed in piles, ant wings are not. Finding them in a Campsie house means a mature colony nearby.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Campsie
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
Stations go into the ground around the building with timber inside. Termites locate it, we switch the timber for bait, and the colony is eliminated from the inside out.
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
Where termites are working inside a wall or door frame, bait can be fixed directly over the active workings so the colony starts feeding straight away.
Chemical Soil Barrier
A continuous treated zone in the soil along the footings, applied by trenching and, under paving and slabs, by drilling and injecting.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
With a suspended floor the piers and wall lines are part of the job. Most concealed termite activity we find started under the house.
Damage Assessment
You will be shown every piece of affected timber so a builder can price the repairs. Those repairs should wait until we have confirmed the colony is gone.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Campsie
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Surface sprays and insect bombs kill the workers in sight and make the rest abandon that feeding site, leaving nothing for bait to work on.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Leave mud tubes and damaged timber intact. Broken workings dry out and termites may retreat, which slows treatment.
Take Photos
Take pictures of anything you have seen and remember where. It tells us what to bring and where to start.
Look for Moisture
Check what is wetting the soil nearby: taps, hot water overflow, condensate lines. That damp is part of why they are there.
Book Promptly
They do not stop while you think about it. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Sydney for active termites.
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.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE
Termites? Leave them exactly as they are and call us.
One call to a licensed Sydney technician gets you straight advice and a fixed quote within 30 minutes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is for | Destroying the colony that is feeding on your building | Putting a treated zone in the soil, so termites moving through it are affected | Killing the colony that is there and guarding against the next |
| How it goes in | Stations in the soil around the perimeter, plus bait on active workings | Trenching along footings, and drilling and injecting through paths and slabs | Bait first, then the soil treatment once the colony is gone |
| Disturbance | Minimal: no drilling of paths or digging of garden beds | Small holes drilled in paving and later sealed; digging along gardens | Spread across staged visits |
| Upkeep | Stations checked on a regular schedule and kept as monitoring | Service life depends on the product label and site; can be re-applied | Station checks continue while the barrier works |
| Right for | Current activity, heavily paved blocks, or where chemical use needs limiting | Homes with good soil access around the footings | Heavy or repeated activity, and high-risk properties close to bush |
Want more detail? Our guide to chemical, physical and baiting systems compares them side by side.
OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Campsie
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
First the species, then the extent: we follow the mud tubing and workings and inspect the roof void, the subfloor and the garden for the nest and the way in.
02
Written Treatment Plan
Everything goes in writing before we start - method, treatment areas, products and the follow-up schedule - at a fixed price.
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
Monitoring runs until elimination: each visit records feeding and replenishes bait. Bigger colonies and cooler months take longer.
05
Protect the Building
Elimination is not protection. We recommend a soil barrier, continued station monitoring, or both, so a fresh colony does not simply replace the last one.
06
Records & Next Inspection
The job finishes with a written record of products and areas, and a recommended next inspection date.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Campsie
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Extent of the attack | Contained activity in a single frame costs far less than termites spread across the subfloor and wall framing |
| Method | Product volume and labour vary considerably between above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and a full barrier |
| Perimeter length & access | Long perimeters, low subfloor clearance and narrow side passages add time |
| Paved areas | Any path, patio or garage slab needing drilling and injection adds time over open soil |
| Follow-up visits | Baiting needs return visits until the colony is gone, and larger colonies can need more of them |
| Type of building | Strata, commercial premises and houses with extensions or a granny flat all get scoped on their own |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Campsie
Living with bait stations
You will have in-ground stations sitting flush with locking lids. Keep them clear of mulch and concrete, leave them in place, and call before landscaping so we can relocate them.
Looking after a soil barrier
Treated soil works best left undisturbed. New garden beds, pavers or a deck against the house can break the treated zone, so call us before those works.
- Keep soil and mulch down below the weep holes
- Keep stacked timber away from the walls
- Repair any leak close to 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 Campsie
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Beds and mulch piled up the wall, leaving no visible slab edge
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Old tree stumps, sleepers or timber offcuts left in the yard
- Fence posts, pergola posts or steps sitting directly in soil
- Weep holes in the brickwork blocked up or rendered over
- Poor subfloor ventilation and damp soil under the house
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- 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 Campsie
The Canterbury-Bankstown has its own pattern - the properties backing onto reserve, gully or paddock see the most pressure, and those are the ones where an annual inspection genuinely earns its cost.
A timber pest inspection before exchange costs a fraction of what concealed damage costs afterwards, and it is the one point where you still have negotiating room on a Campsie purchase.
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Campsie house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.

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 QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Campsie?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Campsie 2194. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Campsie?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Canterbury-Bankstown technicians cover Campsie daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
What makes Campsie prone to termites?
Joined housing is the reason. Where walls, roof voids and sub-floors are continuous between properties, termites are a street-level problem rather than a house-level one.
What sort of properties do you treat in Campsie?
Joined older housing, often with a paved rear courtyard holding damp against the wall. Both things shape the treatment.
Do you treat units and rentals in Campsie?
We do. A lot of our Campsie work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
How long does the treatment take?
Most termite control jobs in a Campsie home take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much of it is affected.
What happens if it is not fixed?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. If it is not holding, call us - that is exactly what the warranty is for.
Do you cover the suburbs around Campsie too?
Yes. As well as Campsie we cover Belmore, Canterbury, Croydon Park and Belfield on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
