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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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 Mount Annan
Where Mount Annan sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2567 covers Mount Annan and the streets immediately around it. At about 46.8 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Macarthur, where we have vans out daily. We travel out to Mount Annan on planned runs through the Macarthur, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
Our Mount Annan work takes in the streets by Spring Farm Shopping Centre and William Howe Regional Park, through to Mt Annan Marketplace at the other end.
This is the Campbelltown and Camden area, and our runs here also take in Narellan Vale, Currans Hill and Narellan. 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.
The termite calls we take from Mount Annan are mostly estate houses with narrow side access and a shared fence line. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Every part of 2567 is covered as standard.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Narellan Vale and Currans Hill are covered on the same round, 2567 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Mount Annan
Some species are destructive, some barely touch sound timber. We identify from the soldiers in the workings, because treating a Mount Annan home for the wrong one wastes the visit.
Storm, fire and flood are covered. Termites are not, anywhere in Australia. A Mount Annan repair bill lands entirely on the owner, which is why the cheapest termite money you will ever spend is the inspection.
Subterranean termites must stay in contact with soil moisture, so they build pencil-width mud tubes to carry it with them. On a Mount Annan pier, slab edge or internal wall, those tubes are the most reliable sign there is.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Mount Annan
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
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
A treated zone in the soil: termiticide trenched in along the footings, and injected through holes drilled in paving or slab where there is no open soil.
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
You will be shown every piece of affected timber so a builder can price the repairs. Those repairs should wait until we have confirmed the colony is gone.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Mount Annan
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Please do not spray. It kills the visible workers and causes the colony to abandon the site, and an abandoned site is useless for baiting.
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
A few photos of the mud tubes, the affected timber or any winged insects, plus a note of where they were, lets us plan the visit properly.
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
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.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE
Found termites? Don't touch them - call us first.

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 |
| Disturbance | Minimal: no drilling of paths or digging of garden beds | Small holes drilled in paving and later sealed; digging along gardens | Spread across staged 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 |
| 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 Mount Annan
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
The plan is written down and priced: method, areas treated, products used, follow-up visits included.
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
Follow-up visits continue until activity has stopped, checking and topping up bait each time. Colony size and season set the timeline.
05
Protect the Building
Once the colony is gone, we recommend a soil barrier, ongoing station monitoring, or both, to lower the risk of a new attack.
06
Records & Next Inspection
A written record of every product and location, and a date for the next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Mount Annan
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 |
| The approach taken | Bait above ground, stations in the ground and a complete soil barrier are not comparable on product or labour |
| Perimeter length & access | Long perimeters, low subfloor clearance and narrow side passages add time |
| Paving and slabs | Where a path, patio or garage slab has to be drilled and injected, it takes longer than open ground |
| How many visits | Baiting continues until elimination, so the colony's size decides how many return visits are needed |
| Kind of property | Strata, commercial and extended homes - including granny flats - are individually scoped |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Mount Annan
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.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- Don't stack timber against walls
- Repair any leak close to the footings
Keeping watch
AS 3660.2 sets the baseline at inspections every 12 months or better, more often on high-risk sites. A regular inspection is the only thing that catches a new attack early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Mount Annan
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
- Leaks at the footings - taps, downpipes, hot water overflow pipes
- Condensate from the air conditioner dripping into soil beside the house
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Posts and steps set straight into the soil - fences, pergolas, stairs
- Rendered-over or obstructed weep holes in the brick walls
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Building materials or firewood kept up against the building
- 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 Mount Annan
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 Mount Annan purchase.
An old stump left in a Mount Annan 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.
Our Mount Annan work runs from Mt Annan Marketplace out through the back streets and across to the Narellan Vale boundary. Same price, same technicians.

Get a Free QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Mount Annan?
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 Mount Annan. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Mount Annan?
At roughly 46.8 km south-west of the city, Mount Annan 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 are termites such a problem in Mount Annan?
Estates are built fast and close. Shared fence lines, narrow side access and uniform construction mean termites rarely stay at just one address.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Mount Annan?
Newer homes, tightly spaced, usually slab on ground - so the treatment concentrates on the perimeter and entry points.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Mount Annan?
We do. A lot of our Mount Annan 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 the treatment safe around children and pets?
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Generally no. We will tell you on arrival if any part of the job means keeping out of a room for a while, so there are no surprises.
How much time should I allow?
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Which areas around Mount Annan do you cover?
We do. Mount Annan and Narellan Vale, Currans Hill, Narellan and Blairmount are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
