Termite Inspections & Treatments in Sydney
Termites cause more damage to Australian homes than fire, floods and storms combined — and it's rarely covered by insurance. GuardLine finds termite activity early and stops it at the source.

The Silent Destroyer
Sydney Homes Are Prime Termite Territory
Subterranean termites are active across Greater Sydney all year round. They travel underground, enter through slab edges, foundation gaps and garden beds, and feed on structural timber 24 hours a day — often for months or years before anyone notices.
By the time damage becomes visible, it's usually already significant. Skirting boards, door frames, wall framing and roof timbers can all be eaten out from the inside while looking perfectly normal on the surface.
If you find termites, don't spray them or disturb the area. Disturbed termites abandon the site and reappear somewhere harder to find — making professional treatment more difficult. Cover the area and call us.

Termite FAQ
Common Questions
How often should I get a termite inspection?
At least once every 12 months for most Sydney homes. Properties with previous termite activity, timber construction, or lots of trees and garden beds close to the house should consider more frequent inspections.
I've found termites — what should I do right now?
Don't spray them, don't break open the timber, and don't disturb the area — disturbed termites retreat and pop up somewhere harder to treat. Cover the area if you can and call us on 0412 074 583. We'll walk you through it and get a technician out fast.
Are termite treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use registered, professional-grade products applied exactly as directed, and we'll let you know if any areas need to be avoided while a treatment settles. Baiting and monitoring systems are fully enclosed and tamper-resistant.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
Almost never — most Australian home insurance policies specifically exclude termite damage. That's why regular inspections matter: catching activity early is dramatically cheaper than repairing structural damage.
How much does termite treatment cost?
It depends on the size of your property, the level of activity and the treatment required — a baiting program is priced differently to a full chemical barrier. We give you a clear, fixed quote after the inspection, with no hidden extras. Quotes are always free.
