Termite Control Sydney
Expert Termite Treatment, Inspections & Long-Term Protection.
Termites cause more structural damage to Australian homes than fire, storms, and floods combined — and most insurance policies don’t cover it. Pest Elite provides comprehensive termite control across Sydney, from AS 3660.2 inspections and thermal imaging detection through to Termidor chemical barriers, Sentricon baiting systems, and full eradication programs.
Three Ways Termites Get In. One Way to Stop Them.
We inspect first, then match the treatment to your property — never the other way around
AS 3660.2 Inspection
Full property inspection using FLIR thermal imaging, moisture meters, and physical probe testing. We map every risk zone and confirm species before recommending anything.
Outcome: Written inspection report — covers all areas inspected, risk factors identified, and findings. Suitable for insurance and real estate purposes.
Termidor Chemical Barrier
Australia’s #1 termiticide injected into the soil around your full perimeter. Non-repellent — termites pass through it and transfer it back to the colony, eliminating it at the source.
Outcome: Continuous protective zone around your home. 8-year product warranty available through Bayer when applied by an accredited applicator.
Sentricon Baiting System
In-ground bait stations placed around the perimeter intercept foraging termites. They carry the bait back to the colony — eliminating it from the inside out. No soil injection required.
Outcome: Colony elimination and ongoing monitoring. Ideal where soil barriers aren’t possible due to construction or landscaping.
Warning Signs of Termite Activity
Termite Damage Is Not Covered by Home Insurance.
Standard home and contents insurance in Australia excludes termite damage. A colony left untreated for 3–6 months can cause $30,000–$100,000+ in structural repairs. The cost of an annual inspection is a fraction of one repair job. Don’t wait until there’s a problem — book an inspection and know your risk.
Why Sydney Homeowners Choose Pest Elite for Termites
We’re Termidor-accredited with a Certified Field Biologist on staff — not just a licensed applicator
📷 Thermal Imaging — No Guesswork
We use FLIR thermal imaging cameras to detect heat and moisture signatures consistent with termite activity inside walls, ceilings, and floor cavities — without drilling, probing, or damaging your property. Thermal imaging finds colonies that physical inspection alone would miss.
- Non-invasive — no holes drilled unless activity confirmed
- Detects moisture trails and heat signatures in cavities
- Combined with moisture meters and physical tap/probe testing
- All findings documented in your written report
🛡 Termidor Accredited. 8-Year Warranty Available.
Termidor (fipronil) is tested to remain effective in Australian soils for 8+ years. Bayer’s full 8-year product warranty applies when the treatment is applied by an accredited applicator. We are Termidor-accredited — we register your treatment with Bayer directly so your warranty documentation is in place from day one.

Every inspection generates a full AS 3660.2 compliant written report — detailing every area inspected, all findings, risk factors identified, and our recommendations. Treatment certificates are issued on the day of work. Every document is emailed immediately and kept on file for future reference.
- AS 3660.2 compliant inspection reports
- Treatment certificates issued same day
- Suitable for real estate transactions and insurance purposes
- Annual re-inspection reminders to maintain continuous records
Termite Treatment — Side by Side
We recommend after inspection — the right system depends on your property, not a price list
| Treatment | How It Works | Best For | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Termidor Barrier | Non-repellent soil injection — termites transfer it to colony | Most homes; slab & stump/pier construction | Up to 8 years |
| Altriset Barrier | Low-mammalian-toxicity alternative to Termidor | Households with pets or chemical sensitivity concerns | Up to 8 years |
| Sentricon Baiting | In-ground stations — termites carry bait to colony | Properties where soil injection isn’t feasible | Annual monitoring |
| Direct Colony Treatment | Foam, dust, or liquid applied directly to live colony | Active infestation confirmed in structure | Follow-up included |
| Physical Barriers | Kordon/Homeguard sheeting at slab junctions | New construction or major renovation | Life of building |
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Sydney?
Termite treatment costs vary significantly depending on treatment type, property size, and the extent of activity found. A Termidor barrier for an average home typically ranges from $2,500–$4,500. Baiting systems vary based on the number of stations required. We provide a detailed written quote after inspection — we never quote without seeing the property first.
How long does a Termidor barrier last?
Termidor (fipronil) has been tested to remain effective in Australian soils for 8+ years. Bayer offers an 8-year product performance warranty when applied by an accredited applicator. We are Termidor-accredited and register your treatment for the full warranty period.
Do I need an inspection before treatment?
Yes — always. Treating without inspecting first is like prescribing medication without diagnosis. Different termite species require different treatments, and the location of entry points and extent of activity determines the most effective approach. An inspection also creates a legal record and baseline for future monitoring.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
AS 3660.2 recommends annual termite inspections for most properties. Properties near bush, older construction, or in known high-risk areas may require inspections every 6 months. Sydney’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for termite activity year-round. Planning a new build? Our pre-construction termite management installs AS 3660.1 compliant barriers before the slab is poured.
Can termites come back after treatment?
A properly installed Termidor barrier or baiting system provides long-term protection, but no treatment lasts forever without maintenance. Annual inspections allow us to check barrier integrity, identify any breaches from landscaping or soil disturbance, and top up treatment before new colonies establish.
