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 COVERAGE
Termite Control in Concord West
What we cover in Concord West, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2138 covers Concord West and the streets immediately around it. At about 11.2 km west of the CBD it falls in the Inner West, where we have vans out daily. We run Concord West on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
The Concord West addresses we attend cluster around Uhrs Point Reserve and Rhodes Waterside Shopping Centre. Concord Golf Club is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay is the council area for Concord West, and we treat Liberty Grove, Mortlake and North Strathfield on the same schedule. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our Concord West 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.
We cover the remainder of 2138 as well, from Concord West station through to Eliza Park.
Bookings for 2138 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Liberty Grove and Mortlake often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Concord West
The rate is not the issue - the concealment is. By the time a cornice cracks or a skirting gives way, the colony has usually been feeding on that Concord West frame for a long time.
Swarming season around Concord West runs through the warmer, wetter months. A flight does not mean your house is infested, but it does mean a colony within flying distance has reached maturity.
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.
- We confirm what it is and where it is active before treating
- Baiting, barrier, or a staged combination of the two
- Written record of products and areas treated
- Warranty terms confirmed in writing with your quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Concord West
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
We come back on a schedule, open each station, record the feeding and refill the bait. Skipped visits are the single most common reason a baiting program does not finish.
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
We trench along the footings and apply termiticide, drilling and injecting through paths and slabs where trenching is not possible, so the treated zone is continuous.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
The subfloor is included on suspended floors - soil around the piers and along the walls - since that is the usual starting point for activity nobody saw.
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 Concord West
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
Photograph mud tubes, damaged timber or winged insects and note where you saw them. It helps us plan the visit.
Look for Moisture
Look around for water - leaks, overflow pipes, the air conditioner drip. Termites want damp soil, and treating without fixing it leaves the attraction in place.
Book Promptly
Subterranean termites keep eating while you wait. Same-day and next-day inspections of active termites are available 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 |
| 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 |
| How intrusive it is | Low. Nothing drilled, nothing dug out of the garden | Paving gets small drill holes which are then sealed, and gardens get trenched | Spread over staged visits rather than one disruptive day |
| 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 |
| Best suited to | Live activity, properties with a lot of paving, or where chemical use must be kept down | Houses with decent access to open soil along the footings | Serious activity, properties attacked before, or high-risk blocks near bush |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Concord West
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
You get a fixed quote naming the method, areas to be treated, products and the follow-up visits needed.
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 carry on until there is no activity left, with bait checked and refilled at each. The duration comes down to colony size and season.
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
Everything applied is recorded in writing, with the recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Concord West
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 |
| Method chosen | Above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and full soil barriers use different amounts of product and labour |
| Perimeter size and access | A long perimeter, a tight subfloor or a narrow side passage all add hours |
| Paved areas | Any path, patio or garage slab needing drilling and injection adds time over open soil |
| Return visits | A baiting program runs until the colony is eliminated, and a big colony needs more visits to get there |
| Property type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes that have been extended are each scoped separately |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Concord West
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.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- Don't stack timber against 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 Concord West
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Mulch and soil heaped against the brickwork, concealing the slab edge
- Any tap, downpipe or overflow pipe leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Fence posts, pergola posts or steps sitting directly in soil
- Rendered-over or obstructed weep holes in the brick walls
- 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
- Timber retaining walls close to the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Concord West
The Inner West 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.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Concord West and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Concord West properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Inner West technicians cover Concord West daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
What makes Concord West prone to termites?
Most of this area is terrace, semi and converted block, and those share more than people realise - cavities, roof spaces, drainage. termites use all of it.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Concord West?
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.

Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
How long will the technician be on site?
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 happens if it is not fixed?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Do you cover the suburbs around Concord West too?
We do. Concord West and Liberty Grove, Mortlake, North Strathfield and Homebush are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
