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 Canley Heights
What we cover in Canley Heights, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2166 covers Canley Heights and the streets immediately around it. At about 26.1 km west of the CBD it falls in the South West Sydney, where we have vans out daily. We cover Canley Heights on scheduled runs through the South West Sydney, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
Our Canley Heights work takes in the streets by Cabramatta Golf Course and Canley Vale station, through to Arbutus Park at the other end.
Liverpool, Fairfield and Cumberland is the council area for Canley Heights, and we treat Fairfield West, Canley Vale and Fairfield Heights on the same schedule. On a newer estate the houses are near-identical and tightly spaced, which means a problem in one tends to turn up in the ones either side.
The termite calls we take from Canley Heights are mostly estate houses with narrow side access and a shared fence line. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Panorama Avenue Reserve and Viet Hoa Shopping Centre are on the same round, which means every part of 2166 is within our area.
The 2166 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Fairfield West and Canley Vale fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Canley Heights
Anything with cellulose in it is food: the frame, yes, but also joinery, floorboards, the lining paper on plasterboard, and the boxes stacked in the garage.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Canley Heights and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
People assume they are covered until they claim. Termite damage is excluded as a maintenance issue, so for a Canley Heights home the only protection that exists is finding them early.
- Species and activity established before anything is applied
- Baiting, a chemical soil barrier, or both together
- A written record of every product and every area treated
- Warranty terms confirmed in writing with your quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Canley Heights
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
A ring of in-ground stations, each baited once termites are feeding. Because the workers carry it back to the nest, the colony itself is what gets eliminated rather than the ones you see.
Station Checks & Refills
Scheduled visits to inspect feeding and replace consumed bait. A baiting program only works if it is kept topped up, which is why the checks are part of it.
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
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
We walk you through the damaged timber and record it for your builder. Repairs come after elimination is confirmed, not before.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Canley Heights
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Resist the spray can. You will kill a few workers and move the rest somewhere you cannot see, leaving nothing to bait.
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
Photos help. Mud tubes, eaten timber, winged termites, and a note of the location, all make the visit more efficient.
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
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 achieves | The colony feeding on the house is eliminated | Termites crossing the treated soil around the building are affected | Clears the current attack and defends against the following one |
| How it is applied | Perimeter stations in the ground, plus bait placed straight onto working termites | Trenched along the footings, drilled and injected under concrete | Staged: baiting, then soil treatment after the colony is dead |
| Site disturbance | Almost none: no drilling through paths, no excavating garden beds | Small sealed drill holes in paving, and trenching where there are gardens | Spread across the 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 |
| Where it fits | Active termites, sites that are mostly paved, and cases where less chemical is preferred | Buildings where the soil around the footings is readily accessible | Heavy infestations, repeat attacks, and high-risk sites backing onto bushland |
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 Canley Heights
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
We identify the termites, trace mud tubes and workings, and check the roof void, subfloor and garden for the likely nest and entry points.
02
Written Treatment Plan
You receive a fixed quote that names the method, the areas, the products and the return visits required.
03
Treat the Active Colony
The active colony is treated either by baiting - directly on the workings or via in-ground stations - or by applying termiticide to the soil on their route.
04
Monitor Until Elimination
Return visits check feeding and top up bait until activity stops. Timing depends on colony size and season.
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
You receive a written record of what was applied and where, plus a recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Canley Heights
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Location of the activity | Termites confined to one architrave take far less work than activity running through a subfloor and the wall framing |
| Method | Product volume and labour vary considerably between above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and a full barrier |
| Perimeter size and access | A long perimeter, a tight subfloor or a narrow side passage all add hours |
| Hard surfaces | Drilling and injecting through paths, patios and garage slabs is slower than trenching open soil |
| 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 Canley Heights
Living with bait stations
The in-ground stations are flush to the soil with locking lids. Leave them where they are - not buried in mulch, not concreted over - and tell us before any 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 below weep holes
- Don't stack timber against walls
- Fix leaks near the footings
Keeping watch
AS 3660.2 sets the baseline at inspections every 12 months or better, more often on high-risk sites. A regular inspection is the only thing that catches a new attack early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Canley Heights
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
- Any tap, downpipe or overflow pipe leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate running onto the soil next to a wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Fence posts, pergola uprights or steps standing in bare soil
- Brick weep holes that have been rendered across or blocked
- Poor subfloor ventilation and damp soil under the house
- Firewood and leftover materials stored against the house wall
- Extensions or decks added without joining up termite protection
- Retaining walls built of timber close to the structure
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Canley Heights
Colonies forage over a wide area underground - tens of metres - so a stump, a timber retaining wall or an untreated deck on the adjoining block feeds a colony that can reach your Canley Heights house.
An old stump left in a Canley Heights backyard is a colony waiting to happen, and it sits metres from the house. Removing stumps and off-ground storing firewood costs nothing and removes a food source.
Pre-purchase is when this matters most. A report naming active termites or past damage in a Canley Heights house changes the price or the decision - but only if you have it before you sign.

Get a Free QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Canley Heights?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in Canley Heights. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Canley Heights?
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Canley Heights is about 26.1 km west of the CBD in the South West Sydney, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why do termites keep coming back in Canley Heights?
Newer estates put houses close together on small blocks, so termites that establish in one property turn up either side of it within a season.
What sort of properties do you treat in Canley Heights?
Newer detached homes on compact blocks, so access down the side and the shared fence line shape how we work.
Do you treat units and rentals in Canley Heights?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Canley Heights 2166 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
How long will the technician be on site?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Canley Heights property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Do you cover the suburbs around Canley Heights too?
We do. Canley Heights and Fairfield West, Canley Vale, Fairfield Heights and Fairfield are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
