Termite Inspections & Treatment Sydney

Termites cause over $1.5 billion in structural damage annually to Australian properties. Sydney’s warm climate provides ideal conditions for termite activity. Our licensed termite inspectors combine thermal imaging technology with proven treatment methods to protect your property from these destructive timber pests. We provide comprehensive termite management including pre-purchase inspections, chemical barriers, and termite baiting systems.

Termite Inspection Sydney

Coptotermes Species - Sydney’s most destructive termite species, responsible for 70% of damage claims. These subterranean termites build massive underground colonies with up to one million termites, attacking structural timber, wall frames, floor joists, and roof trusses.

Schedorhinotermes - Highly secretive timber pests preferring hardwood. These termites build narrow mudding tubes and often go undetected during basic inspections, making professional thermal imaging detection essential.

Nasutitermes - Mound-building termite species common in Sydney’s western suburbs and coastal regions. Large colonies damage fence posts, decking, and occasionally structural members near established mounds.

Heterotermes - Dampwood-loving termites targeting moisture-damaged timber around leaking pipes, bathroom subfloors, and poorly ventilated cavities. These indicate underlying moisture problems requiring rectification.

Termite Control Sydney

Thermal Imaging Detection - Professional FLIR thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations within walls, ceilings, and structural members indicating active termite activity before visible damage appears.

Moisture Meters - Detect elevated moisture levels in timber and walls creating ideal termite conditions. Subterranean termites require consistent moisture access.

Visual Inspection - Licensed termite inspections following Australian Standard AS 3660 cover interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void, fences, and surrounding areas. Includes species identification, damage assessment, and photographic documentation.

Termite Treatment Sydney

Chemical Barriers - Professional APVMA approved non-repellent termiticides create continuous treated zones around building perimeters. Termidor, Altriset, and Premise provide 5-8 year protection. Installation involves trenching foundations, drilling concrete slabs, and injecting termiticide at prescribed rates.

Reticulation Systems - Underground pipe networks allow future termiticide replenishment without excavation. Easy renewal every 5-8 years with no drilling required for continuous termite protection.

Baiting Systems - Exterra and Trelona baiting systems eliminate entire colonies. In-ground monitoring stations around perimeters attract foraging workers. Once active, technicians replace food with insect growth regulators that workers transfer throughout colonies, eliminating queens.

Direct Treatment - For active infestations, termite foam, dusts, and injection treatments provide rapid colony knockdown. Expanding foam fills galleries ensuring maximum contact. Workers transfer active ingredients throughout colonies via grooming.
