Repairing the damage
Do not start repairs yet. Early timber replacement can remove the feeding site, and the colony needs to be confirmed dead first. A builder should look at the bearers, studs and roof timbers.

Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Regents Park.
Regents Park sits about 16.8 km west of the CBD in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, and postcode 2143 is one we are in most weeks. We run Regents Park on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Sefton Golf Course, Regents Park station or Birrong station, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Regents Park for us.
Regents Park is in the City of Parramatta and Cumberland area, and we cover Potts Hill, Birrong and Berala 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 termite calls we take from Regents Park are mostly apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
The rest of 2143 is covered too, including the pockets around Guillfoyle Park and Kibo Park.
When you book, we confirm the 2143 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Potts Hill or Birrong that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
We have found colonies feeding on skirting boards, wardrobe carcasses, stored books and the paper face of plasterboard in Regents Park houses. Structural timber is the worst outcome, not the only target.
They eat from the inside out and leave the paint film intact, so a Regents Park skirting board can look perfect and sound papery when you tap it. That hollow note is often the first real evidence.
Storm, fire and flood are covered. Termites are not, anywhere in Australia. A Regents Park repair bill lands entirely on the owner, which is why the cheapest termite money you will ever spend is the inspection.

We install stations in the soil around the perimeter. They hold timber first; when termites start feeding on it we replace that with bait, and they take it home to the nest.

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.

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.

A continuous treated zone in the soil along the footings, applied by trenching and, under paving and slabs, by drilling and injecting.

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.

We mark up where the timber has gone so a builder can assess structural work - scheduled after, not before, the colony is confirmed eliminated.
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Surface sprays and insect bombs kill the workers in sight and make the rest abandon that feeding site, leaving nothing for bait to work on.
Leave the mud tubing and the damaged timber as you found it. Once broken open it dries out and termites abandon it.
Take pictures of anything you have seen and remember where. It tells us what to bring and where to start.
Check what is wetting the soil nearby: taps, hot water overflow, condensate lines. That damp is part of why they are there.
They do not stop while you think about it. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Sydney for active termites.
In a unit or townhouse, activity in one lot often involves common property, so let the strata manager know early.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
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 |
| Method of install | Soil stations round the perimeter and bait onto the workings themselves | Trenching at the footings with drilling and injection through hard surfaces | Bait phase first, soil barrier second |
| Disruption to the property | Very little - no paths drilled, no garden beds dug up | Small holes through paving, sealed afterwards, and trenching along garden beds | Shared out over several staged visits |
| What it needs afterwards | The stations are checked on schedule and stay in place as monitoring | Service life is set by the product label and the site conditions; re-application is possible | Stations keep being checked alongside the working barrier |
| 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 |

Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
Identification comes first, then we trace the workings and search the roof void, subfloor and garden to locate the nest and the entry points.
You receive a fixed quote that names the method, the areas, the products and the return visits required.
We put bait onto the live workings or into in-ground stations, or treat the soil they travel through with termiticide.
Follow-up visits continue until activity has stopped, checking and topping up bait each time. Colony size and season set the timeline.
After elimination we advise on protection: a chemical soil barrier, ongoing monitoring through the stations, or a combination of the two.

Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Where the activity is | Termites in one door frame need far less work than activity spread through a subfloor and wall frames |
| The approach taken | Bait above ground, stations in the ground and a complete soil barrier are not comparable on product or labour |
| How big and how reachable | Time goes up with perimeter length, and again with low subfloor clearance or narrow side access |
| Concrete & paving | Paths, patios and garage slabs that must be drilled and injected take longer than 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 |

Do not start repairs yet. Early timber replacement can remove the feeding site, and the colony needs to be confirmed dead first. A builder should look at the bearers, studs and roof timbers.
You will have in-ground stations sitting flush with locking lids. Keep them clear of mulch and concrete, leave them in place, and call before landscaping so we can relocate them.
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.
Inspections at least every 12 months is the AS 3660.2 recommendation, with shorter intervals in high-risk areas. Post-treatment, that is what finds the next colony while it is small.
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
Termite pressure is not even across Sydney and it is not even across Regents Park either. Blocks with mature trees, poor drainage or timber retaining are the ones worth watching.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Regents Park and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
We are around Regents Park station and the surrounding streets regularly, and we inspect every address in 2143 - including the ones the big franchises will not travel to.
NSW licence 5122967. Work on existing buildings is planned against AS 3660.2.
We locate where they are coming from first, then decide the method. Treating what you can see achieves very little.
Products, areas and follow-ups all recorded, so you have the paperwork for your file, your insurer or a sale.
Return visits are included rather than optional, which is why our baiting programs actually finish.
