Repairing the damage
Repairs come last. Until we confirm there is no activity, replacing timber can take away the bait the colony was feeding on. Structural timber - bearers, studs, roof members - needs a builder's assessment.

LOCAL COVERAGE
Termite Control in Seven Hills
Where Seven Hills sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Seven Hills or anywhere else in 2147, you are in our Blacktown & Mount Druitt patch, 27.5 km west of the CBD. We cover Seven Hills on scheduled runs through the Blacktown & Mount Druitt, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
If you are near Landen Stadium, Seven Hills Plaza or Seven Hills station, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Seven Hills for us.
Seven Hills is in the Blacktown City area, and we cover Lalor Park, Toongabbie and Prospect on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your termite problem has come from next door. On a newer estate the houses are near-identical and tightly spaced, which means a problem in one tends to turn up in the ones either side.
What we see in Seven Hills is estate houses with narrow side access and a shared fence line. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Grantham Heritage Park and the remainder of 2147 are on the same run.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Lalor Park and Toongabbie are covered on the same round, 2147 often has an earlier slot available.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Seven Hills
Anything that puts soil or timber against the structure is a bridge - planter boxes, sleeper walls, firewood stacked on the ground. Clearing those does more for a Seven Hills home than most products.
A mature colony can run to a million workers and eat through structural timber steadily rather than dramatically. Most of the serious damage we find in Seven Hills homes accumulated over years in a wall nobody opened.
Storm, fire and flood are covered. Termites are not, anywhere in Australia. A Seven Hills repair bill lands entirely on the owner, which is why the cheapest termite money you will ever spend is the inspection.
- Nothing gets treated until the species and the activity are confirmed
- Baiting, barrier, or a staged combination of the two
- What was applied and where, documented in writing
- The warranty is confirmed in writing when you get the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Seven Hills
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
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
We mark up where the timber has gone so a builder can assess structural work - scheduled after, not before, the colony is confirmed eliminated.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Seven Hills
What you do in the first day or two affects how quickly the colony can be eliminated.
Don't Spray Them
Surface spray and bombs are the worst thing to use here. The colony retreats from the treated area and you lose the access point we needed.
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
Take pictures of anything you have seen and remember where. It tells us what to bring and where to start.
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
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.

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 |
| What the work involves | Setting stations into the soil around the building and baiting active workings directly | Trenching the footings and injecting through drilled holes in paths and slabs | The bait goes in first; the soil treatment follows once elimination is confirmed |
| 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 |
| Suits | Active termites, heavily paved sites, or where chemical use needs limiting | Homes with good access to soil around the footings | Heavy activity, repeat attacks or high-risk sites near 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 Seven Hills
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
You receive a fixed quote that names the method, the areas, the products and the return visits required.
03
Treat the Active Colony
Depending on the site: bait fixed to active workings, bait into in-ground stations, or termiticide into the soil where they move.
04
Monitor Until Elimination
Return visits check feeding and top up bait until activity stops. Timing depends on colony size and season.
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 Seven Hills
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| How far it has spread | One door frame is quick. Activity through the subfloor and into the wall frames is a much bigger job |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 Seven Hills
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.
- Don't let soil or mulch rise above the weep holes
- Don't store timber hard against a wall
- Get leaks near the footings repaired
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 Seven Hills
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Garden beds built against the house, burying the slab edge out of sight
- Taps, downpipes or hot water overflows leaking near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a 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
- Insufficient airflow under the floor, so the soil stays wet
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- Extensions or decks added without joining up termite protection
- Timber retaining walls within reach of the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Seven Hills
If you are buying in Seven Hills, get the timber pest inspection done before you exchange, not after. Afterwards it is information; beforehand it is leverage.
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Seven Hills properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.
Risk is partly about the street, not just the building. Old stumps, timber fences and untreated structures nearby all sustain colonies within foraging distance of a Seven Hills home.

Get a Free QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Seven Hills?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. There is no call-out charge in Seven Hills 2147. 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 Seven Hills?
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Seven Hills sits roughly 27.5 km west of the CBD, inside our Blacktown & Mount Druitt run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Why do termites keep coming back in Seven Hills?
Estate housing is tightly spaced and near-identical, which means the conditions that suit termites at one address usually suit the whole street.
Is Seven Hills mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Modern detached homes close together. We treat the perimeter and the boundary because that is the route between properties.
Can you do a rental or a strata property in Seven Hills?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Seven Hills 2147 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
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 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 will the technician be on site?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Seven Hills property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Is Seven Hills inside your service area?
All of them. Seven Hills sits alongside Lalor Park, Toongabbie, Prospect and Blacktown in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
