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 Londonderry
Where Londonderry sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2753 covers Londonderry and the streets immediately around it. At about 50.2 km north-west of the CBD it falls in the Penrith & the Outer West, where we have vans out daily. We travel out to Londonderry on planned runs through the Penrith & the Outer West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
A good share of our Londonderry work is in the streets around Agnes Banks Nature Reserve and Londonderry Park.
Londonderry is in the Penrith City and Hawkesbury area, and we cover Berkshire Park, Llandilo and Windsor Downs on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your termite problem has come from next door. With acreage the problem is often outside the house entirely - sheds, woodpiles and outbuildings get inspected too.
The termite calls we take from Londonderry are mostly larger blocks where the shed or the woodpile turns out to be the source. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Wherever you are in 2753, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Berkshire Park and Llandilo are covered on the same round, 2753 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Londonderry
Some species are destructive, some barely touch sound timber. We identify from the soldiers in the workings, because treating a Londonderry home for the wrong one wastes the visit.
Swarming season around Londonderry 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.
Blistered or rippled paint over a flat surface is worth a second look. In Londonderry homes that is frequently workings pushing the paint film up from behind.
- Nothing gets treated until the species and the activity are confirmed
- Baiting, barrier, or a staged combination of the two
- A written record of every product and every area treated
- Warranty terms confirmed in writing with your quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Londonderry
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
Soil stations placed around the footings. The timber inside draws termites in, bait replaces it, and the nest is destroyed by the workers' own foraging.
Station Checks & Refills
The stations get opened, read and refilled on a regular cycle. Let that slip and the program stalls - it is the usual explanation for one that never completed.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Bait fitted directly over live workings in a wall or frame. There is no waiting for termites to discover it - they are already there.
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
Where the floor is suspended we treat the soil around each pier and along the internal walls - the subfloor is where hidden activity usually starts.
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 Londonderry
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 the mud tubing and the damaged timber as you found it. Once broken open it dries out and termites abandon it.
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 for leaking taps, hot water overflow or air conditioner drip lines near the spot. Damp soil draws termites and needs fixing too.
Book Promptly
They do not stop while you think about it. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Sydney for active termites.
Tell Your Strata Manager
In a unit or townhouse, activity in one lot often involves common property, so let the strata manager know early.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Elimination of the colony feeding on the structure | A treated band of soil that affects termites travelling through it | Both: the active colony goes, and new ones are deterred |
| 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 |
| Ongoing maintenance | Regular scheduled station checks, which double as ongoing monitoring | How long it lasts comes down to the product label and the site, and it can be re-applied | The station checks carry on while the barrier does its job |
| 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 |
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 Londonderry
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
A fixed written quote: which method, which areas, which products, and how many follow-up visits it needs.
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
We keep coming back to read the feeding and refill bait until the activity ends. How long that takes depends on the colony and the time of year.
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 receive a written record of what was applied and where, plus a recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Londonderry
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 |
| Which method is used | Above-ground bait, in-ground stations and a full soil barrier each take different product and labour |
| Access and perimeter | Long footings, restricted subfloor height and narrow passages down the side all add labour |
| Concrete to work through | Open soil can be trenched quickly; paths, patios and slabs have to be drilled and injected |
| Return visits | A baiting program runs until the colony is eliminated, and a big colony needs more visits to get there |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Londonderry
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.
- Keep soil and mulch down below the weep holes
- Don't stack timber against 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 Londonderry
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Beds and mulch piled up the wall, leaving no visible slab edge
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate running onto the soil next to a wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Fence posts, pergola uprights or steps standing in bare soil
- Blocked or rendered-over weep holes in brick walls
- Poor subfloor ventilation and damp soil under the house
- Firewood or building materials stored against the house
- An extension or deck added without tying into the existing protection
- Timber retaining walls within reach of the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Londonderry
If you are anywhere in 2753, or over toward Berkshire Park, you are inside the area we cover for inspections and treatment.
If you are buying in Londonderry, get the timber pest inspection done before you exchange, not after. Afterwards it is information; beforehand it is leverage.
An old stump left in a Londonderry backyard is a colony waiting to happen, and it sits metres from the house. Removing stumps and off-ground storing firewood costs nothing and removes a food source.

Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in Londonderry?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Londonderry 2753. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How soon can someone come out to Londonderry?
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Our Penrith & the Outer West technicians cover Londonderry daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
What makes Londonderry prone to termites?
Larger properties have more places for termites to live undisturbed, and the house is simply the warmest option once the weather turns.
Is Londonderry mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Larger properties with outbuildings, so sheds, stables and stored timber are inspected alongside the house.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Londonderry?
We do. A lot of our Londonderry work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
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.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
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 much time should I allow?
For a standard Londonderry home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front 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 Londonderry too?
We cover the whole of Londonderry, from the streets around Agnes Banks Nature Reserve out to the suburb boundary and on into Berkshire Park.
