We're all too familiar with the disheartening, sinking feeling of discovering termites in your home — but you're not alone. Settled Pest Control is here to help you navigate termite removal and prevention. Termites are a serious problem for Sydney homeowners, causing extensive, expensive damage. According to the CSIRO, termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fires, floods and storms combined — and it's estimated that one in three Sydney homes will be affected by termites at some point.
Termites are often called the "silent destroyers" because they can cause significant damage before any visible signs appear. They feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials — structural components like roofs and foundations, as well as furniture and books. Termites forage in underground "galleries" and eventually reach your home through mud tubes leading to cracks and crevices.
We offer comprehensive termite inspections to identify signs of infestation, and provide a termite management plan suited to your needs and budget — with recommendations, preventative measures, and treatment to keep your property protected.
Give us a call — and don't disturb their workings. Disturbing them may seem like it would make them retreat, but they have a habit of returning and re-entering through another point of entry. Termites navigate by pheromone scent, which can draw them back later, making re-infestation likely. That's why we focus on total colony elimination.
Termites are responsible for more damage than fires, floods and storms combined — and insurance won't cover you. So what are you waiting for? Book with Sydney's most experienced termite inspectors today.
Termites are small, social insects that live in colonies and feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials. They reproduce quickly — some species lay thousands of eggs a day — and a single colony can contain millions of individuals, each with a specific role. Termites play an important ecological role breaking down dead wood, but can cause significant damage to homes and other structures if left unchecked.
Termites are notoriously stealthy, quietly feeding inside your walls and causing extensive structural damage before you even know they're there. By the time you find them, they may have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of damage. We use state-of-the-art equipment to find them well before you can — and given 1 in 3 Sydney homes will be affected during the building's life, we recommend an inspection every 12 months.
Endorsed by AS 3660.2, the most accurate, non-invasive termite inspection tool available, using radar technology to locate, confirm and track termite and pest activity — even hidden infestations traditional methods might miss. We're accredited and certified to use it.
A non-invasive tool that detects temperature changes in building materials. Termites generate heat as they consume wood, so this camera can reveal infestations that aren't visible to the naked eye.
A flexible camera that inspects tight spaces for pest activity, particularly useful behind walls or in other inaccessible areas — capturing high-resolution images and video to accurately identify the infestation.
Measures moisture levels in building materials. Excess moisture attracts termites, so identifying damp areas helps us pinpoint potential problem zones and recommend measures to prevent future infestations.
