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.

SERVICING VOYAGER POINT
Termite Control Across Voyager Point
Where Voyager Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2172 covers Voyager Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 23.5 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Canterbury-Bankstown, where we have vans out daily. We run Voyager Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Voyager Point work takes in the streets by Panania station and East Hills Park, through to Deepwater Park at the other end.
This is the Canterbury-Bankstown area, and our runs here also take in Pleasure Point, East Hills and Hammondville. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
Voyager Point jobs tend to be older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Beyond that we are regularly around Riverlands Golf Course (closed), and out as far as Brighton Lakes Golf Club. If you are anywhere in 2172, you are inside the area we run.
When you book, we confirm the 2172 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Pleasure Point or East Hills that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Voyager Point
A mud lead is a covered road. They will not cross open air, so they build a tunnel up the brickwork - and that tunnel is usually the first thing anyone notices in a Voyager Point sub-floor.
Nasutitermes is common in gardens around Voyager Point and far less destructive than Coptotermes. Knowing which you have is the difference between urgent and manageable.
Alates look like flying ants. The giveaway is the wings: termite wings are all the same length and shed in piles, ant wings are not. Finding them in a Voyager Point house means a mature colony nearby.
- Species and activity established before anything is applied
- Either baiting or a soil barrier - or a combination of them
- A written record of every product and every area treated
- The warranty is confirmed in writing when you get the quote
HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Voyager Point
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
Scheduled visits to inspect feeding and replace consumed bait. A baiting program only works if it is kept topped up, which is why the checks are part of it.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
If there is active work inside a wall or architrave, we can mount bait straight onto it, which puts the colony onto bait immediately rather than waiting for them to find a station.
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
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 Voyager Point
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 the mud tubing and the damaged timber as you found it. Once broken open it dries out and termites abandon it.
Take Photos
Photos help. Mud tubes, eaten timber, winged termites, and a note of the location, all make the visit more efficient.
Look for Moisture
Moisture is usually part of the story: a leaking tap, the hot water overflow, the air conditioner condensate line. Damp soil pulls termites in, so it needs fixing too.
Book Promptly
Don't sit on it. The colony keeps working, and we can usually inspect active termites the 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

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |

OUR PROCESS
From Live Termites to a Protected Home in Voyager Point
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
A fixed written quote: which method, which areas, which products, and how many follow-up visits it needs.
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
Follow-up visits continue until activity has stopped, checking and topping up bait each time. Colony size and season set the timeline.
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
The job finishes with a written record of products and areas, and a recommended next inspection date.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Voyager Point
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 |
| The approach taken | Bait above ground, stations in the ground and a complete soil barrier are not comparable on product or labour |
| Access and perimeter | Long footings, restricted subfloor height and narrow passages down the side all add labour |
| Paving and slabs | Where a path, patio or garage slab has to be drilled and injected, it takes longer than open ground |
| Follow-up schedule | Baiting is not one visit. It runs until elimination, and bigger colonies need more returns |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Voyager Point
Living with bait stations
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.
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.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- Don't store timber hard against a wall
- Get leaks near the footings repaired
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 Voyager 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
- Leaks at the footings - taps, downpipes, hot water overflow pipes
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Fence or pergola posts, and steps, bedded directly into the ground
- Weep holes closed off by render or debris
- Damp soil under the house and not enough subfloor ventilation
- Firewood or building materials stacked against the wall
- An extension or deck added without tying into the existing protection
- Timber retaining walls close to the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Voyager Point
Pre-purchase is when this matters most. A report naming active termites or past damage in a Voyager Point house changes the price or the decision - but only if you have it before you sign.
Around Voyager Point the risk is driven by what is in the soil and what the house is made of. Timber-framed homes with gardens against the slab edge are the ones we find activity in most often.
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Voyager Point properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.

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 QuoteHow much does termite control cost in Voyager Point?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. There is no call-out charge in Voyager Point 2172. 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 quickly can you get to Voyager Point?
At roughly 23.5 km south-west of the city, Voyager Point is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Why are termites such a problem in Voyager Point?
Most of this area is terrace, semi and converted block, and those share more than people realise - cavities, roof spaces, drainage. termites use all of it.
Is Voyager Point mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Terraces and semis, often with a paved rear courtyard that traps damp against the wall - both of which shape the job.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Voyager Point?
We do all of those. A good share of the Voyager Point jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
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 we have to go out while you work?
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 much time should I allow?
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. A return visit inside that period does not cost you anything.
Is Voyager Point inside your service area?
We do. Voyager Point and Pleasure Point, East Hills, Hammondville and Milperra are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
