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.

LOCAL COVERAGE
Termite Control in Panania
What we cover in Panania, and how quickly we can get there.
Panania is part of the Canterbury-Bankstown, 21.5 km or so south-west of the GPO, and 2213 is a postcode we know well. We run Panania on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Revesby Village Centre, Panania station or Revesby station, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Panania for us.
Panania is in the Canterbury-Bankstown area, and we cover East Hills, Picnic Point and Revesby Heights 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 Panania 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 rest of 2213 is covered too, including the pockets around Amour Park and Bruce Park.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because East Hills and Picnic Point are covered on the same round, 2213 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Panania
People assume they are covered until they claim. Termite damage is excluded as a maintenance issue, so for a Panania home the only protection that exists is finding them early.
Termites are after cellulose, which means skirtings, architraves, door jambs, built-in wardrobes, floorboards and the paper facing on plasterboard - not just the frame. Stored cardboard and books in a Panania garage are fair game too.
Swarming season around Panania 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.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Panania
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
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
If there is active work inside a wall or architrave, we can mount bait straight onto it, which puts the colony onto bait immediately rather than waiting for them to find a station.
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
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 Panania
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
A can of spray takes out the ones you can see and sends the rest away from that spot - which removes the one place bait could have reached them.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Mud tubes and eaten timber are best left alone. Open them up and they dry out, the termites withdraw, and the treatment takes longer.
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
Moisture is usually part of the story: a leaking tap, the hot water overflow, the air conditioner condensate line. Damp soil pulls termites in, so it needs fixing too.
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.

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 |
| Installation | In-ground stations around the perimeter, with bait fixed to any live workings | A trench along the footings, plus drilling and injection where there is paving or slab | Baiting to start, and the soil work once the colony has gone |
| 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 |
| 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 Panania
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
Bait goes onto active workings or into in-ground stations, or termiticide is applied to the soil where termites travel.
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
With the colony eliminated, the next question is protection - a soil barrier, continued station monitoring, or both together.
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 Panania
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Where they are working | A single affected door frame is a small job; activity through the subfloor and wall frames is not |
| 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 & paving | Paths, patios and garage slabs that must be drilled and injected take longer than open soil |
| Number of follow-ups | Return visits carry on until the colony is gone - larger colonies take more of them |
| Kind of property | Strata, commercial and extended homes - including granny flats - are individually scoped |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Panania
Living with bait stations
The in-ground stations are flush to the soil with locking lids. Leave them where they are - not buried in mulch, not concreted over - and tell us before any landscaping so we can relocate them.
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 down below the weep holes
- Keep firewood and timber off the walls
- Fix leaks near the footings
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 Panania
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
- Leaks at the footings - taps, downpipes, hot water overflow pipes
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Leftover stumps, railway sleepers or timber scraps in the yard
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Weep holes closed off by render or debris
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Firewood or building materials stored against the house
- A deck or extension added and the termite protection left unconnected
- A timber retaining wall near the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Panania
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Panania house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.
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 Panania purchase.
Coptotermes is the species that does most of the structural damage in Sydney, and it can nest inside a tree or a wall cavity as well as in soil. Identifying what is in the workings decides the Panania treatment.

Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in Panania?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. There is no call-out charge in Panania 2213. The final number comes down to the property itself, and it is fixed before we begin. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Panania?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 21.5 km south-west of the city here, and Panania is covered by the Canterbury-Bankstown team.
What makes Panania prone to termites?
Two things stack up here: shared structure and old drainage. Either one on its own is manageable; together they are why termites in this kind of housing is a street-level problem.
Is Panania mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
Do you treat units and rentals in Panania?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Panania 2213 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us 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 long does the treatment take?
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.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. If it is not holding, call us - that is exactly what the warranty is for.
Is Panania inside your service area?
We do. Panania and East Hills, Picnic Point, Revesby Heights and Revesby are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
