Termite Inspections & Treatment

Targeted Inspections, Safe Treatments & Practical Prevention

Targeted inspections, safe treatments and practical prevention for civil, commercial and education assets across NSW. We identify and treat termite activity in bridges, wharves, schools, commercial buildings and power poles, then put monitoring and risk-reduction measures in place to protect your assets long-term. Reports are independent and engineer-ready where structural decisions are required.

What We Inspect

  • Civil structures: bridge piles, crossheads, girders, decking, wharf timbers, fenders, dolphins.
  • Buildings: subfloors, wall and roof framing, decks, verandahs, service penetrations.
  • Utilities: power poles, cross-arms, footings, pole tops and interfaces.
  • Risk factors: drainage and moisture, ground clearance, landscaping/retained timber, ventilation paths.
  • Evidence of activity: mud tubes, frass, hollowing, galleries, high moisture readings, live termites.

We follow non-destructive methods first (visual, sounding, probing, moisture readings), with invasive checks only by agreement. Recommendations align with the AS 3660 termite management series.

Timber Inspection

Treatment options (matched to site conditions)

  • Baiting & colony elimination – station placement and monitoring to eliminate nests.
  • Dusting / foaming – targeted application into active galleries for rapid knock-down.
  • Liquid termiticide treatments – soil/structural treatments or zone creations where appropriate.
  • Timber treatments – borate or preservative treatments for affected members (where suitable).
  • Remedial works – replace/plate severely damaged members; coordinate with your engineer.

Risk Reduction & Prevention

  • Improve drainage and subfloor ventilation; fix leaks and moisture sources.
  • Maintain ground clearance; remove stored timber/debris from contact areas.
  • Seal service penetrations and utility entry points.
  • Maintain physical/chemical barriers and schedule monitoring visits.

Asset owners and managers, engineers, builders, councils, schools, utilities and insurers—especially where structural implications or public safety are a concern.
