Repairing the damage
Do not start repairs yet. Early timber replacement can remove the feeding site, and the colony needs to be confirmed dead first. A builder should look at the bearers, studs and roof timbers.

Termite Control Across Carramar
What we cover in Carramar, and how quickly we can get there.
We treat termites right across 2163. Carramar is roughly 22.7 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the South West Sydney run our technicians work. We run Carramar on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Villawood station and Oakdene Park in Carramar, and Hamilton Grove Park is close enough to be on the same run.
The suburb sits in the Liverpool, Fairfield and Cumberland area. Lansdowne, Canley Vale and Villawood are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. Estate blocks are compact with narrow side passages, so access and the perimeter are where most of the work happens.
What we see in Carramar is estate houses with narrow side access and a shared fence line. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
We cover the remainder of 2163 as well, from Woodville Shopping Centre through to Neeta City Shopping Centre.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Lansdowne and Canley Vale sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2163 come up regularly.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Carramar
They eat from the inside out and leave the paint film intact, so a Carramar skirting board can look perfect and sound papery when you tap it. That hollow note is often the first real evidence.
We have found colonies feeding on skirting boards, wardrobe carcasses, stored books and the paper face of plasterboard in Carramar houses. Structural timber is the worst outcome, not the only target.
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 Carramar house means a mature colony nearby.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Carramar
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
If there is active work inside a wall or architrave, we can mount bait straight onto it, which puts the colony onto bait immediately rather than waiting for them to find a station.
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
In suspended floors, the soil around piers and along the walls is included, because subfloors are where concealed activity very often begins.
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 Carramar
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
Tempting as it is, leave the workings whole. A broken tube dries, the termites pull back, and we lose the active site.
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
Don't sit on it. The colony keeps working, and we can usually inspect active termites the same or next day anywhere in 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Installation | In-ground stations around the perimeter, with bait fixed to any live workings | A trench along the footings, plus drilling and injection where there is paving or slab | Baiting to start, and the soil work once the colony has gone |
| Impact on the site | Minimal - we neither drill the paths nor dig out the beds | Drilled holes in paving, sealed on completion, plus digging along the beds | Divided across a staged series of visits |
| Looking after it | Stations get opened on a schedule and remain as a monitoring system | Label and site determine the service life; it can be re-applied later | Station monitoring continues for as long as the barrier is in service |
| 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 Carramar
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
Species confirmed, workings traced, and the roof void, subfloor and garden inspected to find where the nest and entry points are.
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
We put bait onto the live workings or into in-ground stations, or treat the soil they travel through with termiticide.
04
Monitor Until Elimination
We keep coming back to read the feeding and refill bait until the activity ends. How long that takes depends on the colony and the time of year.
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
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 Carramar
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 |
| Treatment method | The three approaches - above-ground bait, in-ground stations, full soil barrier - differ in both product and time |
| How big and how reachable | Time goes up with perimeter length, and again with low subfloor clearance or narrow side access |
| Concrete & paving | Paths, patios and garage slabs that must be drilled and injected take longer than open soil |
| Return visits | A baiting program runs until the colony is eliminated, and a big colony needs more visits to get there |
| 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 Carramar
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
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.
- Don't let soil or mulch rise above the weep holes
- No timber stacked up against the house
- Any leak around the footings needs fixing
Keeping watch
Annual inspections at minimum under AS 3660.2, and more frequently in high-risk locations. Once a property has had termites, those inspections are what protect it.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Carramar
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Garden beds or mulch built up against the house, hiding the slab edge
- A dripping tap, downpipe or hot water overflow close to the footings
- Condensate from the air conditioner dripping into soil beside the house
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Fence or pergola posts, and steps, bedded directly into the ground
- Weep holes in the brickwork blocked up or rendered over
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Firewood and leftover materials stored against the house wall
- Extensions and decks where the termite protection was never joined up
- Timber retaining walls sitting close to the house
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Carramar
Pre-purchase is when this matters most. A report naming active termites or past damage in a Carramar house changes the price or the decision - but only if you have it before you sign.
Our Carramar work runs from Woodville Shopping Centre out through the back streets and across to the Lansdowne boundary. Same price, same technicians.
Termites do not respect boundaries. A neglected yard or a demolition next door in Carramar can push foraging onto your property, which is why we inspect fence lines and boundaries rather than only the house.

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 am I looking at for termite control in Carramar?
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 Carramar 2163. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How soon can someone come out to Carramar?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our South West Sydney technicians cover Carramar daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
What makes Carramar prone to termites?
Two things drive it on an estate: compact blocks with narrow side passages, and ground that was cleared and rebuilt recently, which displaces whatever was living in it.
Is Carramar mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Newer homes, tightly spaced, usually slab on ground - so the treatment concentrates on the perimeter and entry points.
Do you treat units and rentals in Carramar?
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Carramar 2163, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
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?
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
What if the termites come back?
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.
Is Carramar inside your service area?
All of them. Carramar sits alongside Lansdowne, Canley Vale, Villawood and Fairfield East in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
