Termite Control Newcastle
Termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fire, flood and storms combined — and most of it isn't covered by insurance. They work silently and relentlessly, and by the time you see them, the damage may already be significant.

Common Questions
People Also Ask About Termite Control
Direct answers to the questions Newcastle homeowners ask us most about termites and termite treatment.
How much does termite treatment cost in Newcastle?+
Termite treatments from Universal Pest Control start from $550, with pricing depending on the treatment method (chemical soil barrier or baiting system) and property size. Termite inspections start from $195 bundled with a general treatment or $240-$295 standalone.
How often should I get a termite inspection?+
Australian Standards recommend annual termite inspections for homes in high-risk areas like Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Properties with previous termite activity, nearby bushland, or high-risk construction types may need inspections every 6 months.
What are the signs of termites in my home?+
Common signs of termites include mud tubes on walls or foundations, hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings near windows, soft or sagging floors, and tight-fitting doors or windows. If you notice any of these signs, call immediately for a professional inspection.
Is Newcastle a high-risk area for termites?+
Yes. The Hunter region is one of the most termite-active areas in Australia. Our coastal climate, humidity and mix of older and newer housing stock create ideal conditions for termite colonies. Annual inspections are strongly recommended for all homes in the region.
What is the best termite treatment method?+
The best treatment depends on your situation. Chemical soil barriers provide long-term protection, while baiting systems eliminate the colony at the source. For active infestations, we recommend immediate treatment followed by a long-term management plan. Your technician will recommend the right approach for your property.
