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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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 Point Piper
What we cover in Point Piper, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in Point Piper or anywhere else in 2027, you are in our Eastern Suburbs patch, 3.9 km east of the CBD. Our technicians are through Point Piper most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Point Piper we work the pockets near Royal Arcade, Woollahra Golf Club and Rose Bay Park most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Under Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra, we cover Point Piper and Double Bay, Darling Point and Bellevue Hill alike. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
What we see in Point Piper is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
The whole of 2027 is covered, Seven Shillings Beach included.
The 2027 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Double Bay and Darling Point fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Point Piper
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Point Piper and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
Subterranean termites must stay in contact with soil moisture, so they build pencil-width mud tubes to carry it with them. On a Point Piper pier, slab edge or internal wall, those tubes are the most reliable sign there is.
People picture termites eating a house in a season. It is slower than that and worse: a colony works quietly inside the frame of a Point Piper house for years before anything shows on the surface.

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Point Piper
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
We come back on a schedule, open each station, record the feeding and refill the bait. Skipped visits are the single most common reason a baiting program does not finish.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Where termites are working inside a wall or door frame, bait can be fixed directly over the active workings so the colony starts feeding straight away.
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
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 Point Piper
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Please do not spray. It kills the visible workers and causes the colony to abandon the site, and an abandoned site is useless for baiting.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Leave mud tubes and damaged timber intact. Broken workings dry out and termites may retreat, which slows treatment.
Take Photos
If you can, photograph what you found - tubing, damaged timber, flying insects - and tell us where. It shapes how we scope the inspection.
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
If you are in a unit or townhouse, activity in your lot usually touches common property - tell the strata manager 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Elimination of the colony feeding on the structure | A treated band of soil that affects termites travelling through it | Both: the active colony goes, and new ones are deterred |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
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 Point Piper
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
We identify the termites, trace mud tubes and workings, and check the roof void, subfloor and garden for the likely nest and 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
Monitoring runs until elimination: each visit records feeding and replenishes bait. Bigger colonies and cooler months take longer.
05
Protect the Building
Once it is dead we talk about keeping the next one out - soil barrier, ongoing station checks, or both.
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 Point Piper
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Location of the activity | Termites confined to one architrave take far less work than activity running through a subfloor and the wall framing |
| Method | Product volume and labour vary considerably between above-ground baiting, in-ground stations and a full barrier |
| Size and access | The longer the perimeter and the tighter the subfloor and side access, the longer the job |
| Hard surfaces | Drilling and injecting through paths, patios and garage slabs is slower than trenching 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 Point Piper
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 works best left undisturbed. New garden beds, pavers or a deck against the house can break the treated zone, so call us before those works.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- Keep firewood and timber off the walls
- Any leak around the footings needs fixing
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 Point Piper
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Beds and mulch piled up the wall, leaving no visible slab edge
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Condensate from the air conditioner dripping into soil beside the house
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Fence posts, pergola uprights or steps standing in bare soil
- Weep holes in the brickwork blocked up or rendered over
- Poor subfloor ventilation and damp soil under the house
- Building materials or firewood kept up against the building
- 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 Point Piper
Colonies forage over a wide area underground - tens of metres - so a stump, a timber retaining wall or an untreated deck on the adjoining block feeds a colony that can reach your Point Piper house.
Termite pressure is not even across Sydney and it is not even across Point Piper either. Blocks with mature trees, poor drainage or timber retaining are the ones worth watching.
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 Point Piper purchase.

Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in Point Piper?
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 Point Piper 2027. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How soon can someone come out to Point Piper?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Point Piper sits roughly 3.9 km east of the CBD, inside our Eastern Suburbs run, so we book a time and keep to it.
What makes Point Piper prone to termites?
Being near the water means humidity that never really drops. Sub-floors stay moist, lower levels stay cool and damp, and termites do well in both.
What kind of buildings do you work on around Point Piper?
Walk-up blocks and free-standing houses, with moisture the common factor. The sub-floor gets as much attention as the kitchen.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Point Piper?
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Point Piper 2027, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, applied correctly. Products are registered for this use, placed out of reach rather than across open surfaces, and you will know what to stay off and for how long.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
How long does the treatment take?
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
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 Point Piper too?
All of them. Point Piper sits alongside Double Bay, Darling Point, Bellevue Hill and Rose Bay in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
