Repairing the damage
Do not start repairs yet. Early timber replacement can remove the feeding site, and the colony needs to be confirmed dead first. A builder should look at the bearers, studs and roof timbers.

LOCAL COVERAGE
Termite Control in Hurlstone Park
Where Hurlstone Park sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat termites right across 2193. Hurlstone Park is roughly 8.7 km south-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Inner West run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Hurlstone Park most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Ewen Park, Jack Shanahan Park or Ashfield Mall, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Hurlstone Park for us.
We work under the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area here, and Dulwich Hill, Canterbury and Earlwood are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
The termite calls we take from Hurlstone Park are mostly terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
The rest of 2193 is covered too, including the pockets around Campsie Shopping Centre and Hurlstone Park station.
The 2193 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Dulwich Hill and Canterbury fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Hurlstone Park
Coptotermes is the species that does most of the structural damage in Sydney, and it can nest inside a tree or a wall cavity as well as in soil. Identifying what is in the workings decides the Hurlstone Park treatment.
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 Hurlstone Park home than most products.
Subterranean termites must stay in contact with soil moisture, so they build pencil-width mud tubes to carry it with them. On a Hurlstone Park pier, slab edge or internal wall, those tubes are the most reliable sign there is.
- Nothing gets treated until the species and the activity are confirmed
- Baiting, soil barrier or a combination
- A written record of every product and every area treated

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Hurlstone Park
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
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
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
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 walk you through the damaged timber and record it for your builder. Repairs come after elimination is confirmed, not before.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Hurlstone Park
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
Mud tubes and eaten timber are best left alone. Open them up and they dry out, the termites withdraw, and the treatment takes longer.
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
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
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
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The job it does | Wipes out the colony currently eating the building | Treats the soil around the building so anything crossing it is affected | Deals with the live colony, then protects against new arrivals |
| Method of install | Soil stations round the perimeter and bait onto the workings themselves | Trenching at the footings with drilling and injection through hard surfaces | Bait phase first, soil barrier second |
| 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 |
| Maintenance | Scheduled checks of each station, which also serve as monitoring | Longevity depends on the label and the site, and it can be renewed | Ongoing station checks run in parallel with the barrier |
| Where it fits | Active termites, sites that are mostly paved, and cases where less chemical is preferred | Buildings where the soil around the footings is readily accessible | Heavy infestations, repeat attacks, and high-risk sites backing onto bushland |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Hurlstone Park
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
We confirm which termite it is and how far it has gone, following the tubing and checking roof void, subfloor and garden for the nest.
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
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 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 Hurlstone Park
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 |
| Treatment method | The three approaches - above-ground bait, in-ground stations, full soil barrier - differ in both product and time |
| 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 |
| Number of follow-ups | Return visits carry on until the colony is gone - larger colonies take more of them |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Hurlstone Park
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
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
- Don't stack timber against walls
- Deal with leaks anywhere near the footings
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 Hurlstone Park
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
- Leaks at the footings - taps, downpipes, hot water overflow pipes
- Condensate from the air conditioner dripping into soil beside the house
- Old stumps, sleepers or timber offcuts never cleared from the garden
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Blocked or rendered-over weep holes in brick walls
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- New decks or extensions built without connecting the termite protection
- Timber retaining walls within reach of the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Hurlstone Park
Risk is partly about the street, not just the building. Old stumps, timber fences and untreated structures nearby all sustain colonies within foraging distance of a Hurlstone Park home.
If you are buying in Hurlstone Park, get the timber pest inspection done before you exchange, not after. Afterwards it is information; beforehand it is leverage.
If you are anywhere in 2193, or over toward Dulwich Hill, you are inside the area we cover for inspections and treatment.

Get a Free QuoteWhat am I looking at for termite control in Hurlstone Park?
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 Hurlstone Park. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Hurlstone Park?
At roughly 8.7 km south-west of the city, Hurlstone Park is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why are termites such a problem in Hurlstone Park?
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.
Is Hurlstone Park mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Terraces and semis, often with a paved rear courtyard that traps damp against the wall - both of which shape the job.
Do you treat units and rentals in Hurlstone Park?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Hurlstone Park 2193 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
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 long will the technician be on site?
For a standard Hurlstone Park home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. If it is not holding, call us - that is exactly what the warranty is for.
Do you cover the suburbs around Hurlstone Park too?
We do. Hurlstone Park and Dulwich Hill, Canterbury, Earlwood and Ashbury are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
