Repairing the damage
Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active. Replacing timber too early can remove the bait termites were feeding on. A builder should assess structural members like bearers, studs and roof timbers.

SERVICING CREMORNE POINT
Termite Control Across Cremorne Point
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Cremorne Point.
Postcode 2090 covers Cremorne Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 3.6 km north-east of the CBD it falls in the Lower North Shore, where we have vans out daily. Our technicians are through Cremorne Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Cremorne Point jobs are in the streets around Cammeray Golf Course and Milsons Point station, and we are out near Sydney Harbour National Park regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill is the council area for Cremorne Point, and we treat Neutral Bay, Mosman and Cremorne on the same schedule. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
Most Cremorne Point bookings come in as period houses and converted blocks where the lower level is the problem. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Our Cremorne Point runs also take in Corner Beach and the area near Greenwood Plaza, so the whole postcode is served.
When you book, we confirm the 2090 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Neutral Bay or Mosman that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Cremorne Point
Swarming season around Cremorne Point 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 that puts soil or timber against the structure is a bridge - planter boxes, sleeper walls, firewood stacked on the ground. Clearing those does more for a Cremorne Point home than most products.
A mud lead is a covered road. They will not cross open air, so they build a tunnel up the brickwork - and that tunnel is usually the first thing anyone notices in a Cremorne Point sub-floor.
- Identification and extent confirmed first, treatment second
- A bait program, a soil barrier, or the two combined

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Cremorne Point
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
We install stations in the soil around the perimeter. They hold timber first; when termites start feeding on it we replace that with bait, and they take it home to the nest.
Station Checks & Refills
Stations are opened on a schedule to check for feeding and top up bait. Missed checks are a common reason baiting programs stall.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Where we find them working in a frame or wall lining, bait goes on over the workings themselves and the colony begins feeding the same day.
Chemical Soil Barrier
Termiticide applied into a trench along the footings, or injected through drilled holes in paths and slabs, creating a treated zone in the soil around the building.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
Suspended floors get the subfloor done too: the soil at the piers and along the walls, because that is where concealed attacks most often begin.
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 Cremorne 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
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
Check what is wetting the soil nearby: taps, hot water overflow, condensate lines. That damp is part of why they are there.
Book Promptly
Every day of delay is more timber gone. Active termite inspections are available 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| What the work involves | Setting stations into the soil around the building and baiting active workings directly | Trenching the footings and injecting through drilled holes in paths and slabs | The bait goes in first; the soil treatment follows once elimination is confirmed |
| Disruption to the property | Very little - no paths drilled, no garden beds dug up | Small holes through paving, sealed afterwards, and trenching along garden beds | Shared out over several staged 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 |
| Typically chosen for | Active termites, sites under extensive paving, or where chemical input must be minimised | Properties where there is good access to the soil at the footings | Heavy activity, a history of attacks, or a high-risk bushland block |
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 Cremorne 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
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
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
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
You get the paperwork - what went where - along with when the next timber pest inspection is due.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Cremorne Point
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 |
| Which method is used | Above-ground bait, in-ground stations and a full soil barrier each take different product and labour |
| 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 |
| Kind of property | Strata, commercial and extended homes - including granny flats - are individually scoped |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Cremorne 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
A treated zone wants to be left alone. Building a garden bed, laying pavers or adding a deck against the house can breach it, so ring us before that work starts.
- Keep soil and mulch down below the weep holes
- Don't stack timber against walls
- Any leak around the footings needs fixing
Keeping watch
The standard, AS 3660.2, recommends an inspection at least annually and more frequently where risk is high. After a treatment, those inspections are how a new colony gets caught early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Cremorne Point
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Mulch or garden beds raised against the wall so the slab edge is covered
- Any tap, downpipe or overflow pipe leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Brick weep holes that have been rendered across or blocked
- A badly ventilated subfloor with damp soil underneath
- Building materials or firewood kept up against the building
- 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 Cremorne Point
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Cremorne Point properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.
The Lower North Shore 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.
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 Cremorne Point 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 QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Cremorne Point?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. There is no call-out charge in Cremorne Point 2090. The final number comes down to the property itself, and it is fixed before we begin. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Cremorne Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Cremorne Point is about 3.6 km north-east of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why are termites such a problem in Cremorne Point?
The combination here is age and moisture. Older houses near the harbour rarely have sub-floor ventilation that still works, and termites settle in what that leaves behind.
What sort of properties do you treat in Cremorne Point?
Large older homes and converted apartments, with damp lower levels the recurring theme.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Cremorne Point?
We do all of those. A good share of the Cremorne Point jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
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.
Do we have to go out while you work?
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
How long will the technician be on site?
An hour to two hours covers most jobs. The size of the building and the extent of the problem are what change it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. A return visit inside that period does not cost you anything.
Which areas around Cremorne Point do you cover?
Yes - we work right across the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area, which takes in Cremorne Point and the suburbs around it.
