Termites in the Home? Professional Termite Control in Newcastle
Termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fire, flood and storms combined. They work silently and relentlessly, and by the time you see them, the damage may already be significant. This is not a pest to tackle yourself.
The Problem
Subterranean termites can consume structural timber from the inside out, leaving a thin outer shell that looks intact. A mature colony can contain over a million termites and cause catastrophic structural damage — often uninsured. Newcastle and the Hunter are high-risk termite areas.
Our Solution
Termite treatment is never a one-size-fits-all spray. We conduct a full inspection, assess the species, activity, construction type and risk, then propose a treatment strategy — chemical soil barriers, baiting systems or targeted nest treatment. Treatments from $550.

FAQ
Termites in the Home — your questions answered
How much does termite treatment cost?+
Termite treatments start from $550. Final pricing depends on inspection findings, infestation extent, construction type and the recommended treatment strategy. We provide a detailed quote after inspection.
What should I do if I find termites?+
Don't disturb them. Don't spray them yourself. Disturbing termites can cause them to scatter and re-establish elsewhere, making treatment harder. Call us immediately for an inspection.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?+
No. Standard home insurance does not cover termite damage. This makes prevention — annual inspections and proactive treatment — essential for protecting your home.
