Termites — often called white ants — cause more damage to Australian homes each year than floods and fires combined. Unlike fire damage, termite damage is not covered by most standard home insurance policies. In the Sutherland Shire, the warm climate and the Royal National Park’s eucalyptus bushland create ideal conditions for termite colonies to thrive.
A professional termite inspection (also called a timber pest inspection) is a thorough examination of your property for evidence of termite activity, damage and conditions that favour attack. Inspections are carried out to Australian Standard AS 4349.3 and include all accessible areas including the subfloor, roof void, internal rooms and external perimeter.

What’s included
Most Australian home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Waiting until termites are visible often means the damage is already advanced, with repair costs far exceeding the price of routine annual inspections.
We show up on time, explain the treatment clearly, and back our work with written advice and follow-up recommendations. If you need the next step after an inspection or treatment, you'll know exactly what to do.

A licensed-technician process built around your property, your schedule, and the specific
pest pressure we see across the Shire.
01
We examine all accessible areas for activity, damage and conditions that increase termite risk around the structure.
02
You receive clear findings, photos and an explanation of what is active, what is damage, and what requires urgent attention.
03
If termites or high-risk conditions are present, we outline the right monitoring or treatment pathway for the property.
Our approach
No two homes, tenancies or commercial sites are the same. Every job gets a tailored plan based on access points, pest pressure, risk level and the outcome you actually need.
Our inspectors use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras and termite radar devices to detect activity hidden inside walls and timbers without causing damage. We look for mud tubes, hollow-sounding timber, frass (termite droppings) and the presence of live termites or alates (flying termites).
The Australian Standard recommends inspections at least once every 12 months for all properties. For high-risk properties — those with previous termite activity, properties surrounded by native trees, or homes with untreated timber subfloors — we recommend inspections every 6 months. Many Shire homes in bushland-fringe suburbs such as Bangor, Illawong, Engadine, Heathcote and Alfords Point are in high-risk zones.
A licensed technician checks the infestation pattern, risk points, conducive conditions and any safety requirements for kids, pets or staff.
We explain the target pest, affected areas, products or monitoring involved, expected results and next steps before work begins.
You get practical preparation advice, a clear treatment summary and a follow-up recommendation to reduce reinfestation risk.

Experienced local technicians, compliant treatment methods and written recommendations you can keep on file.
We explain preparation, re-entry timing and lower-impact options clearly before we start any work.
Same-day and next-day booking windows are available across Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah, Engadine and surrounding suburbs.
We deal with the same termite, cockroach, spider, rodent and coastal pest pressures every week across the Sutherland Shire.
If active termites are detected, do not disturb them. Disturbing termites causes them to retreat deeper into the structure and makes treatment significantly harder. Our team can begin treatment the same day in most cases. We will recommend the right option — chemical barrier or baiting system — based on species, infestation extent and your property.
Termite damage to structural timbers can cost $10,000–$100,000 or more to repair. A professional inspection costs a fraction of that — and could save you from financial disaster. Book your termite inspection today by calling (02) 9543 0093 or booking online.
