South Coast NSW bushland — high-risk termite region
High-Risk Region

Termite
Inspection

Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage across Australia each year — and the South Coast is one of NSW's highest-risk regions. Wollongong, Nowra, and the broader Illawarra-Shoalhaven area are all classified as high-risk zones for Coptotermes acinaciformis, Australia's most destructive termite species.

How We Treat Termites

Our termite inspections follow Australian Standard AS 3660.2 and cover all accessible areas — subfloor, roof void, interior walls, exterior perimeter, fencing, and garden structures — using calibrated moisture meters to detect hidden activity behind walls. You'll receive a full written report detailing all findings, risk factors, and management recommendations. Annual inspections are strongly recommended for all South Coast and Wollongong homeowners. If you suspect termite activity, do not disturb the area — call us immediately.

All treatments are carried out by fully licensed NSW pest management technicians using products registered with the APVMA. We provide clear aftercare instructions and a guarantee period on every job.

Signs You May Have Termites

Mud tubes running along foundations, walls, or timber structures
Hollow-sounding timber when tapped — floors, frames, or skirting boards
Blistering or bubbling paintwork on walls or timber surfaces
Discarded wings near windowsills or doors (from a termite swarm)
Tight-fitting doors or windows — termite damage can warp timber frames
