What termite treatment actually involves
Termite treatment is the process of inspecting your property, eliminating any active termite colony, and installing a barrier so termites are far less likely to return. At So Pest Off, a fully licensed technician (NSW EPA Pesticide Licences 5103392 and 5201158) handles every step: a detailed inspection, targeted colony elimination through baiting, and a chemical or physical barrier installed to Australian Standard AS 3660.
We work across the Hills District, the Northern Beaches and Greater Sydney. To book an inspection, call 0410 244 244.
A proper termite plan is not a single spray. It is a sequence of steps that finds the problem, removes the active colony, and then keeps termites out for the long term. Here is how each part works.
Step 1: Termite inspection
Every job starts with a thorough inspection. Our technician checks the areas termites reach first: subfloors, roof voids, wall cavities, garden beds, retaining walls, fence lines and any timber in contact with soil. We look for mud tunnels, hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings and moisture problems that draw termites in.
You get a clear report of what was found and what it means for your home. If there is an active infestation, we explain the treatment options before any work begins, so you know the plan and the cost upfront.
We recommend a termite inspection every 12 months for Sydney homes. Termites can stay hidden for a long time, and annual checks catch activity early, while repairs are still small.
Step 2: Colony elimination through baiting
If we find an active colony, the goal is to remove the colony at the source rather than just treat the timber you can see.
Termite baiting uses a growth-regulating bait that worker termites carry back to the nest. As the workers feed it through the colony, the colony declines over the following weeks. Baiting is well suited to properties where a full chemical barrier is not practical straight away, and it lets us monitor termite activity over time.
The right approach depends on your home, the species and where the activity is. After the inspection, we recommend the method that fits your situation and explain why.
Step 3: Termite barriers for long-term protection
Once the active colony is dealt with, a barrier helps stop termites returning. There are two main types:
– Chemical barrier: a liquid termiticide such as Termidor is applied in the soil around and under your home to create a treated zone. Termites that pass through it carry the product back to the colony. Chemical barriers are installed to Australian Standard AS 3660 and many carry a manufacturer-backed warranty when installed to specification.
– Physical barrier: a physical termite management system is built into the structure so termites cannot enter undetected. Physical barriers are most commonly fitted during construction or major renovations.
We help you choose the barrier that suits your property, your budget and whether you are protecting an existing home or a new build.

After Treatment
Following your termite treatment, it’s important to allow time for the product to work effectively across the colony.
You may not see immediate results above the surface this is normal. We’ll guide you on what to expect in the coming weeks, and if bait stations or barriers have been installed, we’ll schedule follow-up inspections to monitor progress and ensure full colony elimination.
1
Comprehensive Inspection
We begin with a full property inspection using four advanced detection methods to ensure nothing is missed:
Visual assessment for signs of termite activity or damage
Audible testing using a donga tool to check timber for hollow spots
Thermal and moisture imaging to detect hidden termite presence within walls
Termatrac radar technology to pinpoint live movement without invasive drilling
This approach gives us a detailed, non-invasive picture of what’s happening behind walls, floors and structural timber.
2
Targeted Termite Treatment
If termite activity is detected, we provide immediate on-site advice and a clear quote for treatment. We typically begin with professional termite baiting to stop the colony. As a Termidor accredited provider, we use Australia’s most trusted solution for long-term termite elimination, backed by an optional warranty. If an existing termite system is installed, we’ll inspect, refill or recommend upgrades as needed.
3
Installing Termite Barriers
If your property lacks a termite protection system, we’ll work with you to design a custom barrier solution tailored to your home. We install Termidor® soil barriers for long-term protection against subterranean termite intrusion. As certified Termidor technicians, we guarantee the system is applied to manufacturer standards and eligible for the Termidor Assurance Warranty.

Annual Termite Inspections
Termites don’t stop and neither should your protection. An annual inspection is critical to detect early activity, confirm barrier performance, and protect your investment. These yearly checks provide insight into what’s happening beneath your floors, behind your walls and around your property.

Common signs you may have termites
Termites often work quietly for months before you notice them. Book an inspection if you see any of these:
- Mud tunnels: pencil-width mud tubes on walls, piers or foundations.
- Hollow timber: skirting, door frames or floorboards that sound hollow when tapped.
- Discarded wings: small piles of wings near windows or light fittings after a swarm.
- Tight-fitting doors: doors and windows that suddenly stick, caused by moisture from termite activity.
- Bubbling paint or sagging floors: surfaces that blister or feel spongy underfoot.
If you spot any of these, avoid disturbing the area. Poking or spraying an active lead can scatter the colony and make treatment harder. Call us and let a technician inspect it first.
What affects the cost of termite treatment
Every home is different, so termite treatment is priced after the inspection. The main factors are:
- – Property size: the length of the perimeter and the area to be treated.
- Construction type: slab, subfloor, brick or timber, and how accessible the soil is.
- Level of activity: whether there is a live colony to eliminate or you are installing preventative protection.
- Barrier type: a chemical barrier, a physical system or a baiting program.
We give you an upfront quote after the inspection, so there are no surprises. For a quote, call 0410 244 244 or book online.
