Repairing the damage
Wait for confirmation that the colony is dead before repairing anything. Pull out the timber too soon and you remove what they were feeding on. Get a builder to assess the structural members - bearers, studs, roof timbers.

Local Termite Control for Church Point
What we cover in Church Point, and how quickly we can get there.
We treat termites right across 2105. Church Point is roughly 24.7 km north of the city, which puts it well inside the Northern Beaches run our technicians work. We run Church Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
McCarrs Creek Road Reserve and Katandra Bushland Sanctuary are the parts of Church Point we are called to most.
We work under the Northern Beaches area here, and Bayview, Scotland Island and Newport are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
The bulk of our Church Point work is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Wherever you are in 2105, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2105 run the day before, and if Bayview or Scotland Island is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Church Point
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 Church Point garage are fair game too.
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 Church Point house means a mature colony nearby.
If you find a mud tube on a Church Point foundation, do not break it open. Disturbing the workings scatters the colony and makes the job harder; photograph it and leave it.
- Nothing gets treated until the species and the activity are confirmed
- A bait program, a soil barrier, or the two combined
- Products used and areas treated, recorded in writing

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Church Point
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
The stations get opened, read and refilled on a regular cycle. Let that slip and the program stalls - it is the usual explanation for one that never completed.
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 show you where timber has been eaten so a builder can assess repairs, which should wait until the colony is confirmed dead.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Church Point
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
A can of spray takes out the ones you can see and sends the rest away from that spot - which removes the one place bait could have reached them.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Leave the mud tubing and the damaged timber as you found it. Once broken open it dries out and termites abandon it.
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
Moisture is usually part of the story: a leaking tap, the hot water overflow, the air conditioner condensate line. Damp soil pulls termites in, so it needs fixing too.
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
Townhouse or unit? Notify the strata manager promptly, because common property is usually involved.

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| What it needs afterwards | The stations are checked on schedule and stay in place as monitoring | Service life is set by the product label and the site conditions; re-application is possible | Stations keep being checked alongside the working 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 Church Point
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
You receive a fixed quote that names the method, the areas, the products and the return visits required.
03
Treat the Active Colony
Depending on the site: bait fixed to active workings, bait into in-ground stations, or termiticide into the soil where they move.
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
With the colony eliminated, the next question is protection - a soil barrier, continued station monitoring, or both together.
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 Church Point
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 |
| Concrete to work through | Open soil can be trenched quickly; paths, patios and slabs have to be drilled and injected |
| How many visits | Baiting continues until elimination, so the colony's size decides how many return visits are needed |
| What sort of property | A strata block, a commercial site or a house with an extension or granny flat is quoted individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Church Point
Living with bait stations
Flush-fitting, locking lids. Don't shift them, don't cover them with mulch, don't pour concrete over them - and give us notice before landscaping so they can be moved properly.
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 below weep holes
- No timber stacked up against the house
- 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 Church 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 condensate running onto the soil next to a wall
- Tree stumps, old sleepers or timber offcuts still sitting in the yard
- Fence or pergola posts, and steps, bedded directly into the ground
- Weep holes in the brickwork blocked up or rendered over
- A badly ventilated subfloor with damp soil underneath
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- A deck or extension added and the termite protection left unconnected
- A timber retaining wall near the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Church Point
The Northern Beaches 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.
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Church Point house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.
Pre-purchase is when this matters most. A report naming active termites or past damage in a Church Point house changes the price or the decision - but only if you have it before you sign.

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 Church Point?
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 Church Point. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Church Point?
At roughly 24.7 km north of the city, Church Point is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
What makes Church Point prone to termites?
The sea air is the factor people miss. It keeps sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms damp long after summer, which is enough to keep termites going.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Church Point?
A mix of unit blocks and houses, most with a damp sub-floor or a ground level that sits low - and that is usually where we concentrate.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Church Point?
We do all of those. A good share of the Church Point jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Is it safe for kids 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?
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 will the technician be on site?
For a standard Church Point home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
Is Church Point inside your service area?
Yes - we work right across the Northern Beaches area, which takes in Church Point and the suburbs around it.
