Why skipping termite protection in Sylvania can cost tens of thousands
Termites work silently. By the time you notice mud trails, sagging floors or hollow timber, the colony has often been feeding for months or years. In the Sutherland Shire — where bushland corridors, coastal humidity and timber-framed homes converge — the risk is higher than almost anywhere else in Sydney.
Sylvania's specific risks — georges river waterfront moisture — mean that an untreated property can go from "no visible signs" to structural damage faster than homeowners expect. Annual inspections and active barriers are the only reliable way to catch or prevent that damage before it requires major rebuilding.
Insurance won't cover it
Australian home insurance policies almost universally exclude termite damage as a "preventable maintenance issue." Repairs to eaten bearers, joists and wall frames — which can run $10,000–$50,000 or more — are paid entirely by the homeowner.
Small cost now, massive cost later
An AS 4349.3 inspection costs a few hundred dollars. A full Termidor HE barrier with up to a 5-year warranty starts at $1,950. Compare that to replacing a sub-floor, reframing walls or rebuilding a deck — any of which can cost 10–30 times more. Prevention is always cheaper than reconstruction.

Sylvania Termite Control FAQs
How long does termite treatment last?
A Termidor HE chemical barrier is backed by up to a 5-year warranty; Sentricon baiting is monitored annually and lasts indefinitely while serviced.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Termidor and Sentricon are both registered low-toxicity products. Areas are safe to re-enter as soon as treatment is dry (usually under an hour).
Will I need to leave the house?
No. Treatment is targeted to soil, sub-floor and bait stations — no fogging, no evacuation required.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes — up to a 5-year written warranty on barriers, plus the manufacturer's product warranty.
Can I claim it on insurance?
Termite damage is rarely covered by home insurance, which is exactly why prevention matters. We provide an itemised invoice you can keep on file.
How much does it cost?
Most full treatments run $1,950–$3,800 depending on linear metres and access. We give a fixed quote on-site before any work starts.
