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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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.

LOCAL COVERAGE
Termite Control in Currans Hill
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Currans Hill.
Currans Hill sits about 44.9 km south-west of the CBD in the Macarthur, and postcode 2567 is one we are in most weeks. We travel out to Currans Hill on planned runs through the Macarthur, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
Around Currans Hill we work the pockets near Mt Annan Marketplace, Gregory Hills Town Centre and Marcellin Park most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Campbelltown and Camden is the council area for Currans Hill, and we treat Smeaton Grange, Gregory Hills and Blairmount on the same schedule. Newer estate housing sits close together on small blocks, so what happens next door matters. We check the boundary and the fence line, not just the house.
Around Currans Hill the pattern is fairly consistent: newer homes on small blocks where next door has the same problem. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We cover the remainder of 2567 as well, from Thomas Donovan Park through to South Creek Reserve.
The 2567 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Smeaton Grange and Gregory Hills fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Currans Hill
They eat from the inside out and leave the paint film intact, so a Currans Hill skirting board can look perfect and sound papery when you tap it. That hollow note is often the first real evidence.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Currans Hill and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
On warm, humid evenings a mature colony releases winged reproductives. If you find small piles of shed wings on a Currans Hill windowsill or in a web, a flight has happened close by - often on your own block.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Currans Hill
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
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
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 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
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
We mark up where the timber has gone so a builder can assess structural work - scheduled after, not before, the colony is confirmed eliminated.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Currans Hill
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
Tempting as it is, leave the workings whole. A broken tube dries, the termites pull back, and we lose the active site.
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
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
If you are in a unit or townhouse, activity in your lot usually touches common property - tell the strata manager early.

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Currans Hill
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
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
Treatment goes where the termites actually are - bait on the workings or in stations, or termiticide in the travelled soil.
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
Once it is dead we talk about keeping the next one out - soil barrier, ongoing station checks, or both.
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 Currans Hill
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 |
| Treatment method | The three approaches - above-ground bait, in-ground stations, full soil barrier - differ in both product and time |
| Access and perimeter | Long footings, restricted subfloor height and narrow passages down the side all add labour |
| 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 Currans Hill
Living with bait stations
Stations sit level with the soil and lock shut. They must not be moved, mulched over or paved across. If landscaping is coming, let us know first and we will relocate them.
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
- Keep firewood and timber off the walls
- Any leak around the footings needs fixing
Keeping watch
Inspections at least every 12 months is the AS 3660.2 recommendation, with shorter intervals in high-risk areas. Post-treatment, that is what finds the next colony while it is small.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Currans Hill
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
- A dripping tap, downpipe or hot water overflow close to the footings
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Fence posts, pergola uprights or steps standing in bare soil
- Blocked or rendered-over weep holes in brick walls
- A badly ventilated subfloor with damp soil underneath
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- Extensions and decks where the termite protection was never joined up
- A timber retaining wall near the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Currans Hill
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Currans Hill house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.
If you are anywhere in 2567, or over toward Smeaton Grange, you are inside the area we cover for inspections and treatment.
Around Currans Hill the risk is driven by what is in the soil and what the house is made of. Timber-framed homes with gardens against the slab edge are the ones we find activity in most often.

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 Currans Hill?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Currans Hill 2567, with no call-out fee. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Currans Hill?
At roughly 44.9 km south-west of the city, Currans Hill is on a route we run regularly. We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why do termites keep coming back in Currans Hill?
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 Currans Hill mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Newer estate housing with narrow side access and young landscaping, which puts the focus on the boundary and the fence line.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Currans Hill?
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Currans Hill 2567, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
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 does the treatment take?
Most termite control jobs in a Currans Hill home take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much of it is affected.
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.
Is Currans Hill inside your service area?
Yes - we work right across the Campbelltown and Camden area, which takes in Currans Hill and the suburbs around it.
