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Hold off on repairs until we confirm the colony is no longer active.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 WALLACIA
Termite Control Across Wallacia
What we cover in Wallacia, and how quickly we can get there.
Wallacia is part of the Penrith & the Outer West, 52.6 km or so west of the GPO, and 2745 is a postcode we know well. We travel out to Wallacia on planned runs through the Penrith & the Outer West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
A good share of our Wallacia work is in the streets around Wallacia Panthers Golf Course and Downes Park.
We work under the Penrith City and Hawkesbury area here, and Mulgoa, Silverdale and Greendale are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. With acreage the problem is often outside the house entirely - sheds, woodpiles and outbuildings get inspected too.
What we see in Wallacia is rural-residential homes where it started in a stable or a feed store. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
All of 2745 falls inside the area we service.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Mulgoa and Silverdale sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2745 come up regularly.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Wallacia
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.
Coptotermes is the species that does most of the structural damage in Sydney, and it can nest inside a tree or a wall cavity as well as in soil. Identifying what is in the workings decides the Wallacia treatment.
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 Wallacia house for years before anything shows on the surface.
- Identification and extent confirmed first, treatment second
- Either baiting or a soil barrier - or a combination of them

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Wallacia
Photos from our own Sydney termite jobs. Most properties need one primary method, and some need two working together.
In-Ground Baiting Systems
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.
Station Checks & Refills
The stations get opened, read and refilled on a regular cycle. Let that slip and the program stalls - it is the usual explanation for one that never completed.
Above-Ground Bait Placement
Where we find them working in a frame or wall lining, bait goes on over the workings themselves and the colony begins feeding the same day.
Chemical Soil Barrier
Termiticide applied into a trench along the footings, or injected through drilled holes in paths and slabs, creating a treated zone in the soil around the building.
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 walk you through the damaged timber and record it for your builder. Repairs come after elimination is confirmed, not before.
FOUND TERMITES?
What to Do Before We Arrive in Wallacia
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
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
Have a look for a dripping tap, a hot water overflow or an air conditioner drain near where you found them. Damp soil is an attractant and has to be dealt with as well.
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
In a unit or townhouse, activity in one lot often involves common property, so let the strata manager know early.

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
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 Wallacia
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
The plan is written down and priced: method, areas treated, products used, follow-up visits included.
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
After elimination we advise on protection: a chemical soil barrier, ongoing monitoring through the stations, or a combination of the two.
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 Wallacia
Treatment starts from $179. Your fixed quote comes after we've seen the activity.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Where they are working | A single affected door frame is a small job; activity through the subfloor and wall frames is not |
| Treatment method | The three approaches - above-ground bait, in-ground stations, full soil barrier - differ in both product and time |
| How big and how reachable | Time goes up with perimeter length, and again with low subfloor clearance or narrow side access |
| Paving and slabs | Where a path, patio or garage slab has to be drilled and injected, it takes longer than open ground |
| Return visits | A baiting program runs until the colony is eliminated, and a big colony needs more visits to get there |
| 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 Wallacia
Living with bait stations
In-ground stations sit flush with the soil and have locking lids. Don't move them, bury them under mulch or pour concrete over them. Tell us before landscaping so stations can be relocated.
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.
- Keep soil and mulch below weep holes
- Don't store timber hard against a wall
- Repair any leak close to the footings
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 Wallacia
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
- Leaking taps, downpipes or hot water overflow pipes near the footings
- Air conditioner condensate dripping onto soil beside a wall
- Tree stumps, old sleepers or timber offcuts still sitting in the yard
- Posts and steps set straight into the soil - fences, pergolas, stairs
- Blocked or rendered-over weep holes in brick walls
- Damp soil under the house and not enough subfloor ventilation
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- An extension or deck added without tying into the existing protection
- Timber retaining walls sitting close to the house
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Wallacia
Timber retaining walls, sleepers and old fence posts around Wallacia properties are all food. They also hide workings, which is why we look at them specifically.
If you are anywhere in 2745, or over toward Mulgoa, you are inside the area we cover for inspections and treatment.
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 Wallacia house.

Get a Free QuoteWhat does termite control cost in Wallacia?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in Wallacia. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
What is the wait for a technician in Wallacia?
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Our Penrith & the Outer West technicians cover Wallacia daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
What makes Wallacia prone to termites?
On a rural-fringe block the surrounding land is doing the work - paddock, timber, sheds - and the house is the last step rather than the first.
Is Wallacia mostly houses or units for this sort of work?
Rural-residential blocks where the shed, feed store or woodpile is as likely to be the source as the building itself.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Wallacia?
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Wallacia 2745, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
How much time should I allow?
Allow one to two hours for a typical Wallacia property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
What if the termites come back?
Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Is Wallacia inside your service area?
Yes - we work right across the Penrith City and Hawkesbury area, which takes in Wallacia and the suburbs around it.
