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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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.

SERVICING REVESBY HEIGHTS
Termite Control Across Revesby Heights
Where Revesby Heights sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Our Canterbury-Bankstown technicians cover Revesby Heights and the rest of 2212 as a matter of course - it is only about 20.8 km south-west of the city. We run Revesby Heights on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Padstow station and Neptune Park in Revesby Heights, and Bruce Park is close enough to be on the same run.
We work under the Canterbury-Bankstown area here, and Picnic Point, Padstow Heights and Panania are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
What we see in Revesby Heights is terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
We also work the streets near Georges River National Park and across toward Revesby Village Centre - the whole of 2212 is covered.
Bookings for 2212 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Picnic Point and Padstow Heights often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Revesby Heights
Anything with cellulose in it is food: the frame, yes, but also joinery, floorboards, the lining paper on plasterboard, and the boxes stacked in the garage.
Swarming season around Revesby Heights 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.
The rate is not the issue - the concealment is. By the time a cornice cracks or a skirting gives way, the colony has usually been feeding on that Revesby Heights frame for a long time.
- Nothing gets treated until the species and the activity are confirmed
- A bait program, a soil barrier, or the two combined
- Written documentation of the products and the treated areas
- The warranty is confirmed in writing when you get the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Revesby Heights
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
Stations set into the soil around the building. Once termites find the timber inside, it is swapped for bait they carry back to the nest, which is how the colony is eliminated.
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
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
A treated zone in the soil: termiticide trenched in along the footings, and injected through holes drilled in paving or slab where there is no open soil.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
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.
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 Revesby Heights
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
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.
Don't Break Open the Workings
Tempting as it is, leave the workings whole. A broken tube dries, the termites pull back, and we lose the active site.
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
Every day of delay is more timber gone. Active termite inspections are available same or next day anywhere in Sydney.
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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Right for | Current activity, heavily paved blocks, or where chemical use needs limiting | Homes with good soil access around the footings | Heavy or repeated activity, and high-risk properties close to bush |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Revesby Heights
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
First the species, then the extent: we follow the mud tubing and workings and inspect the roof void, the subfloor and the garden for the nest and the way in.
02
Written Treatment Plan
You get a fixed quote naming the method, areas to be treated, products and the follow-up visits needed.
03
Treat the Active Colony
We put bait onto the live workings or into in-ground stations, or treat the soil they travel through with termiticide.
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
Once the colony is gone, we recommend a soil barrier, ongoing station monitoring, or both, to lower the risk of a new attack.
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 Revesby Heights
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 |
| 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 |
| Follow-up schedule | Baiting is not one visit. It runs until elimination, and bigger colonies need more returns |
| What sort of property | A strata block, a commercial site or a house with an extension or granny flat is quoted individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Revesby Heights
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
A treated zone wants to be left alone. Building a garden bed, laying pavers or adding a deck against the house can breach it, so ring us before that work starts.
- Keep soil and mulch down below the weep holes
- Keep stacked timber away from the walls
- Fix leaks 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 Revesby Heights
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
- Leaking taps, downpipes or hot water overflow pipes near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Old stumps, sleepers or timber offcuts never cleared from the garden
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the 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
- A deck or extension added and the termite protection left unconnected
- Retaining walls built of timber close to the structure
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Revesby Heights
The Canterbury-Bankstown has its own pattern - the properties backing onto reserve, gully or paddock see the most pressure, and those are the ones where an annual inspection genuinely earns its cost.
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Revesby Heights 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 Revesby Heights purchase.

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 Revesby Heights?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. There is no call-out charge in Revesby Heights 2212. 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.
How soon can someone come out to Revesby Heights?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Revesby Heights sits roughly 20.8 km south-west of the CBD, inside our Canterbury-Bankstown run, so we book a time and keep to it.
What makes Revesby Heights prone to termites?
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 Revesby Heights 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 Revesby Heights?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Revesby Heights 2212 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Is the treatment safe around children 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.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
Usually not. Most termite control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
How long will the technician be on site?
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.
Which areas around Revesby Heights do you cover?
We do. Revesby Heights and Picnic Point, Padstow Heights, Panania and Alfords Point are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
