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 WENTWORTH POINT
Termite Control Across Wentworth Point
Where Wentworth Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Wentworth Point is part of the Inner West, 13 km or so west of the GPO, and 2127 is a postcode we know well. We run Wentworth Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Wentworth Point work takes in the streets by Rhodes station and Stromboli Park, through to Newington Nature Reserve at the other end.
Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay is the council area for Wentworth Point, and we treat Rhodes, Liberty Grove and Newington on the same schedule. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Around Wentworth Point the pattern is fairly consistent: terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We also work the streets near Rhodes Waterside Shopping Centre and across toward Ryde Parramatta Golf Club - the whole of 2127 is covered.
The 2127 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Rhodes and Liberty Grove fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Termite Control That Targets the Colony in Wentworth Point
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 Wentworth Point frame for a long time.
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 Wentworth Point treatment.
Garden beds built up over the slab edge, timber sleepers against the wall, and mulch piled to the brickwork all give termites a covered path straight past whatever protection the house has. It is the most common fault we find in Wentworth Point.
- Identification and extent confirmed first, treatment second
- Baiting, soil barrier or a combination
- Written documentation of the products and the treated areas

HOW WE TREAT
Termite Treatment Methods We Use in Wentworth 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 go into the ground around the building with timber inside. Termites locate it, we switch the timber for bait, and the colony is eliminated from the inside out.
Station Checks & Refills
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.
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
We trench along the footings and apply termiticide, drilling and injecting through paths and slabs where trenching is not possible, so the treated zone is continuous.
Subfloor & Pier Treatment
Where the floor is suspended we treat the soil around each pier and along the internal walls - the subfloor is where hidden activity usually starts.
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 Wentworth Point
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
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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Elimination of the colony feeding on the structure | A treated band of soil that affects termites travelling through it | Both: the active colony goes, and new ones are deterred |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Upkeep | Stations checked on a regular schedule and kept as monitoring | Service life depends on the product label and site; can be re-applied | Station checks continue while the barrier works |
| 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 |
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 Wentworth Point
Termite treatment is a program over several visits, not a one-off spray.
01
Confirm Species & Extent
Species confirmed, workings traced, and the roof void, subfloor and garden inspected to find where the nest and entry points are.
02
Written Treatment Plan
Everything goes in writing before we start - method, treatment areas, products and the follow-up schedule - at a fixed price.
03
Treat the Active Colony
Bait goes onto active workings or into in-ground stations, or termiticide is applied to the soil where termites travel.
04
Monitor Until Elimination
Monitoring runs until elimination: each visit records feeding and replenishes bait. Bigger colonies and cooler months take longer.
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
Everything applied is recorded in writing, with the recommended date for your next timber pest inspection.
PRICING
What Termite Treatment Costs Depend On in Wentworth Point
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 |
| Building type | Strata buildings, commercial sites and homes with extensions or granny flats are scoped individually |

AFTER TREATMENT
Life After a Termite Treatment in Wentworth Point
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
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.
- Soil and mulch stay below the line of the weep holes
- Keep stacked timber away from the walls
- Fix leaks near the footings
Keeping watch
The standard, AS 3660.2, recommends an inspection at least annually and more frequently where risk is high. After a treatment, those inspections are how a new colony gets caught early.
RISK FACTORS
Conditions That Invite Termites Back in Wentworth Point
Treatment removes the colony. These property conditions attract the next one, and most are cheap to fix.
- Mulch and soil heaped against the brickwork, concealing the slab edge
- Leaking taps, downpipes or hot water overflow pipes near the footings
- An air conditioner drain wetting the soil against a wall
- Stumps, sleepers and offcuts left lying about the garden
- Timber posts or steps in direct contact with the soil
- Weep holes closed off by render or debris
- A badly ventilated subfloor with damp soil underneath
- Timber, firewood or materials stored hard against the house
- A deck or extension added and the termite protection left unconnected
- A timber retaining wall near the building
SYDNEY TERMITES
Why Sydney Homes Get Attacked in Wentworth Point
If you are anywhere in 2127, or over toward Rhodes, you are inside the area we cover for inspections and treatment.
Termites will nest inside a living tree. If there is a mature gum close to a Wentworth Point house, that is worth including in the inspection rather than assuming the risk is only in the soil.
The Inner West 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.

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 Wentworth Point?
Termite treatment starts from $179 and a full timber pest inspection from $159. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Wentworth Point 2127, with no call-out fee. Treatments carry a 6-month warranty and we re-inspect annually.
How quickly can you get to Wentworth Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Wentworth Point is about 13 km west of the CBD in the Inner West, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why are termites such a problem in Wentworth Point?
Two things stack up here: shared structure and old drainage. Either one on its own is manageable; together they are why termites in this kind of housing is a street-level problem.
Is Wentworth 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 treat units and rentals in Wentworth Point?
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Wentworth Point 2127 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
Can we stay home while the treatment is done?
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 Wentworth Point 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. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
Do you cover the suburbs around Wentworth Point too?
All of them. Wentworth Point sits alongside Rhodes, Liberty Grove, Newington and Concord West in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
