Repairing the damage
Hold the repairs until elimination is confirmed - taking out the timber early removes the bait. Then have a builder assess the structural members, bearers and studs and roof timbers included.

Termite Control Across North Strathfield
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in North Strathfield.
We treat termites right across 2137. North Strathfield is roughly 11.2 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the Inner West run our technicians work. We run North Strathfield on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Ismay Reserve, Strathfield Plaza or Concord Golf Club, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of North Strathfield for us.
North Strathfield is in the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, and we cover Homebush, Homebush West and Concord West on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your termite problem has come from next door. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
The bulk of our North Strathfield work is older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
The whole of 2137 is covered, North Strathfield station included.
When you book, we confirm the 2137 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Homebush or Homebush West that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in North Strathfield
A mature colony can run to a million workers and eat through structural timber steadily rather than dramatically. Most of the serious damage we find in North Strathfield homes accumulated over years in a wall nobody opened.
No standard home policy in NSW covers termite damage. That is the single fact that changes how North Strathfield owners think about an annual inspection - there is no safety net behind it, so the inspection is the safety net.
A mud lead is a covered road. They will not cross open air, so they build a tunnel up the brickwork - and that tunnel is usually the first thing anyone notices in a North Strathfield sub-floor.
- Species and activity established before anything is applied
- Baiting, barrier, or a staged combination of the two
- What was applied and where, documented in writing
- The warranty is confirmed in writing when you get the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in North Strathfield
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
Stations go into the ground around the building with timber inside. Termites locate it, we switch the timber for bait, and the colony is eliminated from the inside out.
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
The subfloor is included on suspended floors - soil around the piers and along the walls - since that is the usual starting point for activity nobody saw.
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 North Strathfield
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
Don't pull the workings apart. Exposed tubes dry and the colony retreats, which costs time on the treatment.
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 what is wetting the soil nearby: taps, hot water overflow, condensate lines. That damp is part of why they are there.
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
In strata, termites in your lot very often involve common property, so the manager needs to hear about it early rather than late.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The job it does | Wipes out the colony currently eating the building | Treats the soil around the building so anything crossing it is affected | Deals with the live colony, then protects against new arrivals |
| 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 |
| 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 |
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 North Strathfield
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
The plan is written down and priced: method, areas treated, products used, follow-up visits included.
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
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
With the colony eliminated, the next question is protection - a soil barrier, continued station monitoring, or both together.
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 North Strathfield
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 |
| Method chosen | Above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and full soil barriers use different amounts of product and labour |
| Perimeter size and access | A long perimeter, a tight subfloor or a narrow side passage all add hours |
| 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 |
| Kind of property | Strata, commercial and extended homes - including granny flats - are individually scoped |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in North Strathfield
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.
- Don't let soil or mulch rise above the weep holes
- No timber stacked up against the house
- Get leaks near the footings repaired
Keeping watch
AS 3660.2 generally recommends inspections at least every 12 months, and more often in high-risk areas. After treatment, regular inspections are what catch a new colony early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in North Strathfield
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Garden beds or mulch built up against the house, hiding the slab edge
- Any tap, downpipe or overflow pipe leaking near the footings
- An air conditioner drain wetting the soil against a wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Posts and steps set straight into the soil - fences, pergolas, stairs
- Weep holes closed off by render or debris
- Damp soil under the house and not enough subfloor ventilation
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- 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 North Strathfield
Our North Strathfield work runs from Strathfield Plaza out through the back streets and across to the Homebush boundary. Same price, same technicians.
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 North Strathfield purchase.
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 North Strathfield home.

Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in North Strathfield?
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 North Strathfield 2137. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in North Strathfield?
Same-day attendance is usually available. North Strathfield sits roughly 11.2 km west of the CBD, inside our Inner West run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Why do termites keep coming back in North Strathfield?
Joined housing is the reason. Where walls, roof voids and sub-floors are continuous between properties, termites are a street-level problem rather than a house-level one.
What kind of buildings do you work on around North Strathfield?
Joined older housing, often with a paved rear courtyard holding damp against the wall. Both things shape the treatment.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in North Strathfield?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in North Strathfield 2137 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Do we have to go out while you work?
Normally you can stay. Some treatments mean keeping out of a particular room briefly, and we will flag that when we arrive so you can plan around it.
How much time should I allow?
Between one and two hours covers the majority of jobs. We do not book so tightly that a technician has to cut a job short.
Is there a warranty if they return?
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 North Strathfield too?
Yes - we work right across the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, which takes in North Strathfield and the suburbs around it.
