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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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.

Termite Control Across Narwee
Where Narwee sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Narwee or anywhere else in 2209, you are in our Canterbury-Bankstown patch, 15.5 km south-west of the CBD. We run Narwee on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Narwee work takes in the streets by Windarra Reserve and Phillip Street Reserve, through to Riverwood Plaza at the other end.
Under Canterbury-Bankstown, we cover Narwee and Beverly Hills, Riverwood and Penshurst alike. 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.
Around Narwee the pattern is fairly consistent: older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
The rest of 2209 is covered too, including the pockets around Canterbury Public Golf Course and Narwee station.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Beverly Hills and Riverwood are covered on the same round, 2209 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Narwee
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 Narwee frame for a long time.
If you find a mud tube on a Narwee foundation, do not break it open. Disturbing the workings scatters the colony and makes the job harder; photograph it and leave it.
Alates look like flying ants. The giveaway is the wings: termite wings are all the same length and shed in piles, ant wings are not. Finding them in a Narwee house means a mature colony nearby.

- Baiting, barrier, or a staged combination of the two

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Narwee
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
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
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
Suspended floors get the subfloor done too: the soil at the piers and along the walls, because that is where concealed attacks most often begin.
Damage Assessment
We mark up where the timber has gone so a builder can assess structural work - scheduled after, not before, the colony is confirmed eliminated.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Narwee
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 the mud tubing and the damaged timber as you found it. Once broken open it dries out and termites abandon it.
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
Check what is wetting the soil nearby: taps, hot water overflow, condensate lines. That damp is part of why they are there.
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
Think you have termites? Leave the workings alone and ring us.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
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 |
| 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 |
| Looking after it | Stations get opened on a schedule and remain as a monitoring system | Label and site determine the service life; it can be re-applied later | Station monitoring continues for as long as the barrier is in service |
| 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 Narwee
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
Everything goes in writing before we start - method, treatment areas, products and the follow-up schedule - at a fixed price.
03
Treat the Active Colony
Depending on the site: bait fixed to active workings, bait into in-ground stations, or termiticide into the soil where they move.
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
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 Narwee
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 |
| Treatment method | The three approaches - above-ground bait, in-ground stations, full soil barrier - differ in both product and time |
| Perimeter length & access | Long perimeters, low subfloor clearance and narrow side passages add time |
| 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 |
| Property type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes that have been extended are each scoped separately |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Narwee
Living with bait stations
Flush-fitting, locking lids. Don't shift them, don't cover them with mulch, don't pour concrete over them - and give us notice before landscaping so they can be moved properly.
Looking after a soil barrier
Treated soil should not be dug up. If a garden bed, paving or a deck is going in against the house, call us before it does.
- Keep soil and mulch below weep holes
- No timber stacked up against the house
- Any leak around the footings needs fixing
Keeping watch
The standard, AS 3660.2, recommends an inspection at least annually and more frequently where risk is high. After a treatment, those inspections are how a new colony gets caught early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Narwee
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
- Any tap, downpipe or overflow pipe leaking near the footings
- An air conditioner drain wetting the soil against a wall
- Old stumps, sleepers or timber offcuts never cleared from the garden
- Posts and steps set straight into the soil - fences, pergolas, stairs
- Brick weep holes that have been rendered across or blocked
- Poor subfloor ventilation and damp soil under the house
- Firewood or building materials stacked against the wall
- New decks or extensions built without connecting the termite protection
- Timber retaining walls close to the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Narwee
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Narwee and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
Termites do not respect boundaries. A neglected yard or a demolition next door in Narwee can push foraging onto your property, which is why we inspect fence lines and boundaries rather than only the house.
Around Narwee the risk is driven by what is in the soil and what the house is made of. Timber-framed homes with gardens against the slab edge are the ones we find activity in most often.

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 am I looking at for termite control in Narwee?
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 Narwee 2209. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Narwee?
At roughly 15.5 km south-west of the city, Narwee is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why do termites keep coming back in Narwee?
The housing stock is old and joined together. A shared wall cavity or a continuous sub-floor lets termites travel from one property to the next, which is why your neighbour matters.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Narwee?
Terraces, semis and converted blocks, which share structure - so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it as a standalone building.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Narwee?
We do all of those. A good share of the Narwee jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
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?
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 Narwee 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 activity continues past the expected period, call us and we will come back.
Do you cover the suburbs around Narwee too?
Yes - we work right across the Canterbury-Bankstown area, which takes in Narwee and the suburbs around it.
