Termite Inspections & Advice in Rhodes & Sydney
Mud tubes on a foundation wall, soft skirting, or a swarm of winged insects near a window? With termites, what you can see is rarely the whole story.
We provide visual termite inspections, identification of activity and damage, and straight-talking prevention advice. If active termites or treatment works are needed, we'll tell you plainly and take care of the arrangements from there, so you're never left to chase it up yourself.

Local knowledge
What we see around Rhodes and Sydney
Sydney sits in a moderate to high termite risk zone, and older homes across Concord, Homebush, Ryde and the Inner West with timber subfloors, garden beds against walls and poor subfloor ventilation are the highest risk. Annual inspections are the cheapest insurance a homeowner buys.
