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 Narellan
What we cover in Narellan, and how quickly we can get there.
We treat termites right across 2567. Narellan is roughly 47.8 km south-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Macarthur run our technicians work. We travel out to Narellan on planned runs through the Macarthur, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
A lot of our Narellan jobs are in the streets around Camden Golf Club and Narellan Town Centre, and we are out near Narellan Town Centre regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the Campbelltown and Camden area, and our runs here also take in Narellan Vale, Harrington Park and Smeaton Grange. Estate blocks are compact with narrow side passages, so access and the perimeter are where most of the work happens.
The bulk of our Narellan work is estate houses with narrow side access and a shared fence line. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Our Narellan runs also take in Tredinnick Park and the area near Four Seasons Park, so the whole postcode is served.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Narellan Vale and Harrington Park are covered on the same round, 2567 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Narellan
Subterranean termites must stay in contact with soil moisture, so they build pencil-width mud tubes to carry it with them. On a Narellan pier, slab edge or internal wall, those tubes are the most reliable sign there is.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Narellan and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
No standard home policy in NSW covers termite damage. That is the single fact that changes how Narellan owners think about an annual inspection - there is no safety net behind it, so the inspection is the safety net.

- Baiting, soil barrier or a combination

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Narellan
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
A ring of in-ground stations, each baited once termites are feeding. Because the workers carry it back to the nest, the colony itself is what gets eliminated rather than the ones you see.
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 we find them working in a frame or wall lining, bait goes on over the workings themselves and the colony begins feeding the same day.
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
With a suspended floor the piers and wall lines are part of the job. Most concealed termite activity we find started under the house.
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 Narellan
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
Tempting as it is, leave the workings whole. A broken tube dries, the termites pull back, and we lose the active site.
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
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
Subterranean termites keep eating while you wait. Same-day and next-day inspections of active termites are available across Sydney.
Tell Your Strata Manager
In strata, termites in your lot very often involve common property, so the manager needs to hear about it early rather than late.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Best suited to | Live activity, properties with a lot of paving, or where chemical use must be kept down | Houses with decent access to open soil along the footings | Serious activity, properties attacked before, or high-risk blocks near bush |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Narellan
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
A fixed written quote: which method, which areas, which products, and how many follow-up visits it needs.
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
After elimination we advise on protection: a chemical soil barrier, ongoing monitoring through the stations, or a combination of the two.
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 Narellan
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 |
| Which method is used | Above-ground bait, in-ground stations and a full soil barrier each take different product and labour |
| How big and how reachable | Time goes up with perimeter length, and again with low subfloor clearance or narrow side access |
| Paved areas | Any path, patio or garage slab needing drilling and injection adds time over open soil |
| 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 Narellan
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 down below the weep holes
- Keep firewood and timber off the 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 Narellan
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
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Brick weep holes that have been rendered across or blocked
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Firewood and leftover materials stored against the house wall
- Extensions or decks added without joining up termite protection
- Timber retaining walls within reach of the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Narellan
Our Narellan work runs from Narellan Town Centre out through the back streets and across to the Narellan Vale boundary. Same price, same technicians.
The Macarthur has its own pattern - the properties backing onto reserve, gully or paddock see the most pressure, and those are the ones where an annual inspection genuinely earns its cost.
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Narellan house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.

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 Narellan?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Narellan and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Narellan?
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Our Macarthur technicians cover Narellan daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
Why are termites such a problem in Narellan?
On a newer estate the boundaries are close and the landscaping is young, so termites move between properties along fence lines with very little to stop them.
Is Narellan mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Recent estate housing - slab on ground, narrow side passages, young landscaping. The perimeter does most of the work.
Do you treat units and rentals in Narellan?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Narellan 2567 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
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 I need to leave the property during treatment?
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 long does the treatment take?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Narellan property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Do you cover the suburbs around Narellan too?
Yes - we work right across the Campbelltown and Camden area, which takes in Narellan and the suburbs around it.
