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 Grays Point
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Grays Point.
Postcode 2232 covers Grays Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 24.1 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Sutherland Shire, where we have vans out daily. We run Grays Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
The Grays Point jobs we attend tend to sit between Swallow Rock Reserve and Grays Point Oval.
Grays Point is in the Sutherland Shire area, and we cover Gymea Bay, Kirrawee and Gymea on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your termite problem has come from next door. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
The termite calls we take from Grays Point are mostly houses backing onto a reserve, where the pressure is constant from outside. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Wherever you are in 2232, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
Bookings for 2232 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Gymea Bay and Kirrawee often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Grays Point
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 Grays Point home than most products.
A mature colony can run to a million workers and eat through structural timber steadily rather than dramatically. Most of the serious damage we find in Grays Point homes accumulated over years in a wall nobody opened.
Storm, fire and flood are covered. Termites are not, anywhere in Australia. A Grays Point repair bill lands entirely on the owner, which is why the cheapest termite money you will ever spend is the inspection.
- Species and activity confirmed before treating
- Either baiting or a soil barrier - or a combination of them
- Written documentation of the products and the treated areas
- The warranty is confirmed in writing when you get the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Grays 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
Scheduled visits to inspect feeding and replace consumed bait. A baiting program only works if it is kept topped up, which is why the checks are part of it.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Where termites are working inside a wall or door frame, bait can be fixed directly over the active workings so the colony starts feeding straight away.
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 Grays Point
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Resist the spray can. You will kill a few workers and move the rest somewhere you cannot see, leaving nothing to bait.
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
Take pictures of anything you have seen and remember where. It tells us what to bring and where to start.
Look for Moisture
Check for leaking taps, hot water overflow or air conditioner drip lines near the spot. Damp soil draws termites and 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
In a unit or townhouse, activity in one lot often involves common property, so let the strata manager know 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 Grays Point
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
Identification comes first, then we trace the workings and search the roof void, subfloor and garden to locate the nest and the entry points.
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
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
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
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 Grays Point
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Where they are working | A single affected door frame is a small job; activity through the subfloor and wall frames is not |
| Method | Product volume and labour vary considerably between above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and a full barrier |
| Perimeter size and access | A long perimeter, a tight subfloor or a narrow side passage all add hours |
| 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 |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Grays Point
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
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.
- Weep holes need to stay clear of soil and mulch
- Keep firewood and timber off the walls
- Get leaks near the footings repaired
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 Grays 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
- A dripping tap, downpipe or hot water overflow close to the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Fence posts, pergola posts or steps sitting directly in soil
- Rendered-over or obstructed weep holes in the brick walls
- Subfloor ventilation that is inadequate, leaving the soil damp
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- 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 Grays Point
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Grays Point and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
Termite pressure is not even across Sydney and it is not even across Grays Point either. Blocks with mature trees, poor drainage or timber retaining are the ones worth watching.
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Grays Point properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.

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 Grays 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 Grays Point. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Grays Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Grays Point sits roughly 24.1 km south-west of the CBD, inside our Sutherland Shire run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Why do termites keep coming back in Grays Point?
The reserve next door is a permanent population you cannot treat. All that is in question is how easily termites cross from it into the building, which is a perimeter problem.
What sort of properties do you treat in Grays Point?
Free-standing homes with gardens running into bush. We treat the boundary as seriously as the building.
Do you treat units and rentals in Grays Point?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Grays Point 2232 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
Usually not. Most termite control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
How much time should I allow?
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
Do you cover the suburbs around Grays Point too?
Yes. As well as Grays Point we cover Gymea Bay, Kirrawee, Gymea and Yowie Bay on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
