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 Termite Control for Mays Hill
Where Mays Hill sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2145 covers Mays Hill and the streets immediately around it. At about 21.1 km west of the CBD it falls in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, where we have vans out daily. We run Mays Hill on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Westmead station and Freame Park in Mays Hill, and Jones Park is close enough to be on the same run.
City of Parramatta and Cumberland is the council area for Mays Hill, and we treat Westmead, Parramatta and Merrylands on the same schedule. 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.
Mays Hill jobs tend to be terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Beyond that we are regularly around Westfield Parramatta, and out as far as Westfield Parramatta. If you are anywhere in 2145, you are inside the area we run.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Westmead and Parramatta sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2145 come up regularly.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Mays Hill
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 Mays Hill home than most products.
The rate is not the issue - the concealment is. By the time a cornice cracks or a skirting gives way, the colony has usually been feeding on that Mays Hill frame for a long time.
Swarming season around Mays Hill 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.

- Baiting, soil barrier or a combination

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Mays Hill
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
Every station is opened on a set schedule so feeding can be assessed and bait replenished. Programs that fail usually failed because the checks lapsed.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Active workings in a door frame or wall cavity can take bait fixed directly over them. Feeding starts at once, which is the fastest way onto a colony.
Chemical Soil Barrier
A continuous treated zone in the soil along the footings, applied by trenching and, under paving and slabs, by drilling and injecting.
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
The eaten timber is identified and recorded so a builder can quote. Hold the repairs until the colony is confirmed dead or you may remove what they are feeding on.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Mays Hill
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
Leave mud tubes and damaged timber intact. Broken workings dry out and termites may retreat, which slows 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
Have a look for a dripping tap, a hot water overflow or an air conditioner drain near where you found them. Damp soil is an attractant and has to be dealt with as well.
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 |
| How it is applied | Perimeter stations in the ground, plus bait placed straight onto working termites | Trenched along the footings, drilled and injected under concrete | Staged: baiting, then soil treatment after the colony is dead |
| How intrusive it is | Low. Nothing drilled, nothing dug out of the garden | Paving gets small drill holes which are then sealed, and gardens get trenched | Spread over staged visits rather than one disruptive day |
| 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 Mays 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
A fixed written quote: which method, which areas, which products, and how many follow-up visits it needs.
03
Treat the Active Colony
The active colony is treated either by baiting - directly on the workings or via in-ground stations - or by applying termiticide to the soil on their route.
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
Everything applied is recorded in writing, with the recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Mays Hill
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Where the activity is | Termites in one door frame need far less work than activity spread through a subfloor and wall frames |
| The approach taken | Bait above ground, stations in the ground and a complete soil barrier are not comparable on product or labour |
| Perimeter size and access | A long perimeter, a tight subfloor or a narrow side passage all add hours |
| Concrete & paving | Paths, patios and garage slabs that must be drilled and injected take longer than open soil |
| Follow-up schedule | Baiting is not one visit. It runs until elimination, and bigger colonies need more returns |
| What sort of property | A strata block, a commercial site or a house with an extension or granny flat is quoted individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Mays Hill
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
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.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- 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 Mays 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
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate running onto the soil next to a wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- 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
- An extension or deck added without tying into the existing protection
- A timber retaining wall near the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Mays Hill
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Mays Hill properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.
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 Mays Hill home.
A timber pest inspection before exchange costs a fraction of what concealed damage costs afterwards, and it is the one point where you still have negotiating room on a Mays Hill purchase.

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 Mays Hill?
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 Mays Hill 2145. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Mays Hill?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Mays Hill is about 21.1 km west of the CBD in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why are termites such a problem in Mays Hill?
Terraces and semis share walls, roof voids and sub-floors, so termites move between houses without ever going outside. That is the single biggest factor here.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Mays Hill?
Mostly terrace and semi. We look at the party wall, the sub-floor and the roof space, because those are the routes between houses.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Mays Hill?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Mays Hill 2145 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
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?
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
How long will the technician be on site?
For a standard Mays Hill 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. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Do you cover the suburbs around Mays Hill too?
All of them. Mays Hill sits alongside Westmead, Parramatta, Merrylands and South Wentworthville in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
