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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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 Pleasure Point
Where Pleasure Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Pleasure Point sits about 24 km south-west of the CBD in the Canterbury-Bankstown, and postcode 2172 is one we are in most weeks. We run Pleasure Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Pleasure Point jobs are in the streets around East Hills Park and Voyager Park, and we are out near Brighton Lakes Golf Club regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Canterbury-Bankstown is the council area for Pleasure Point, and we treat Voyager Point, East Hills and Hammondville on the same schedule. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our Pleasure Point work is apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Riverlands Golf Course (closed) and East Hills station are on the same round, which means every part of 2172 is within our area.
Bookings for 2172 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Voyager Point and East Hills often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Pleasure Point
We have found colonies feeding on skirting boards, wardrobe carcasses, stored books and the paper face of plasterboard in Pleasure Point houses. Structural timber is the worst outcome, not the only target.
Blistered or rippled paint over a flat surface is worth a second look. In Pleasure Point homes that is frequently workings pushing the paint film up from behind.
On warm, humid evenings a mature colony releases winged reproductives. If you find small piles of shed wings on a Pleasure Point windowsill or in a web, a flight has happened close by - often on your own block.
- Identification and extent confirmed first, treatment second
- Baiting, a chemical soil barrier, or both together
- Written documentation of the products and the treated areas
- Warranty conditions put in writing as part of the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Pleasure Point
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
Stations are opened on a schedule to check for feeding and top up bait. Missed checks are a common reason baiting programs stall.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Active workings in a door frame or wall cavity can take bait fixed directly over them. Feeding starts at once, which is the fastest way onto a colony.
Chemical Soil Barrier
A continuous treated zone in the soil along the footings, applied by trenching and, under paving and slabs, by drilling and injecting.
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
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 Pleasure Point
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
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
Check for leaking taps, hot water overflow or air conditioner drip lines near the spot. Damp soil draws termites and needs fixing too.
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
Townhouse or unit? Notify the strata manager promptly, because common property is usually involved.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it achieves | The colony feeding on the house is eliminated | Termites crossing the treated soil around the building are affected | Clears the current attack and defends against the following one |
| 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 |
| How intrusive it is | Low. Nothing drilled, nothing dug out of the garden | Paving gets small drill holes which are then sealed, and gardens get trenched | Spread over staged visits rather than one disruptive day |
| 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 |
| Where it fits | Active termites, sites that are mostly paved, and cases where less chemical is preferred | Buildings where the soil around the footings is readily accessible | Heavy infestations, repeat attacks, and high-risk sites backing onto bushland |
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 Pleasure Point
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
Species confirmed, workings traced, and the roof void, subfloor and garden inspected to find where the nest and entry points are.
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
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
Elimination is not protection. We recommend a soil barrier, continued station monitoring, or both, so a fresh colony does not simply replace the last one.
06
Records & Next Inspection
You get the paperwork - what went where - along with when the next timber pest inspection is due.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Pleasure Point
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 |
| Access and perimeter | Long footings, restricted subfloor height and narrow passages down the side all add labour |
| Concrete to work through | Open soil can be trenched quickly; paths, patios and slabs have to be drilled and injected |
| Number of follow-ups | Return visits carry on until the colony is gone - larger colonies take more of them |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Pleasure Point
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
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
- Don't store timber hard against a wall
- Deal with leaks anywhere near 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 Pleasure Point
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
- Leaking taps, downpipes or hot water overflow pipes near the footings
- Air conditioner drip lines discharging onto soil beside the wall
- Old tree stumps, sleepers or timber offcuts left in the yard
- Fence posts, pergola uprights or steps standing in bare soil
- Blocked or rendered-over weep holes in brick walls
- A badly ventilated subfloor with damp soil underneath
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- Extensions and decks where the termite protection was never joined up
- Timber retaining walls close to the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Pleasure Point
We are around East Hills station and the surrounding streets regularly, and we inspect every address in 2172 - including the ones the big franchises will not travel to.
Termites do not respect boundaries. A neglected yard or a demolition next door in Pleasure Point can push foraging onto your property, which is why we inspect fence lines and boundaries rather than only the house.
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 Pleasure Point treatment.

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 Pleasure Point?
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 Pleasure Point 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.
What is the wait for a technician in Pleasure Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 24 km south-west of the city here, and Pleasure Point is covered by the Canterbury-Bankstown team.
Why are termites such a problem in Pleasure Point?
Older inner suburbs combine shared structure with ageing drainage, and termites exploit both. Rear courtyards that have been paved over make it worse by trapping damp against the walls.
Is Pleasure Point mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
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 treat units and rentals in Pleasure Point?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Pleasure Point 2172 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
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 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 much time should I allow?
For a standard Pleasure Point home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
Is there a warranty if they return?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Do you cover the suburbs around Pleasure Point too?
We cover the whole of Pleasure Point, from the streets around East Hills station out to the suburb boundary and on into Voyager Point.
