Termites cause over $1.5 BILLION in damage to Australian homes every year. Most homeowners don’t discover the problem until it’s too late. Don’t be one of them.
Recent rainfall has caused a 40% increase in termite swarm activity across Sydney. Termites are actively seeking new homes to infest. Book your inspection before damage spreads.
Whether you’ve spotted warning signs, want to protect your home, or already have an active problem — we handle every step so you don’t have to.
If termites return within 10 years, we come back and re-treat at no extra cost. No questions asked.

These are the most common myths that leave Sydney homeowners unprotected.
“My home is new — termites won’t be a problem”
Reality: New construction disturbs termite colonies underground. Displaced termites actively seek new timber sources — and your fresh framing is their ideal meal. We find termites in homes less than 2 years old.
“I’d notice if I had termites”
Reality: Termites eat from the inside out, leaving a paper-thin veneer of paint or timber. The average infestation goes undetected for 5 years. By the time you see damage, it’s already severe.
“My insurance will cover termite damage”
Reality: No Australian home insurance policy covers termite damage. Not one. The average repair costs $15,000+ and comes entirely out of your pocket. Prevention is your only protection.
“Inspections are too expensive”
Reality: Our inspection pricing is competitive and transparent. Compare it to $15,000+ in undetected damage repairs. An inspection is a fraction of the cost — and it gives you certainty. The math is simple.
If you notice any of these signs, you may already have termite damage. Act fast.
Soldier termites bang their heads against wood to signal danger. If you hear clicking at night, termites may be inside your walls.
Termites eat wood from the inside out. Tap on skirting boards or door frames — a hollow sound means trouble.
Termites build protective tunnels between their nest and food source. These pencil-sized tubes are a clear sign.
Flying termites shed their wings after swarming. Piles of tiny wings near windows indicate a nearby colony.
Termite damage causes warping. If doors or windows suddenly stick, termites may have weakened the timber.
Moisture from termite activity can cause paint to bubble or crack — even without a leak.
Termite damage compounds over time. Here’s what happens when you delay.
Termites establish mud tubes and begin feeding on structural timber. No visible signs. A colony of 500,000 can consume 25g of wood per day.
Damage: $500–$2,000
Internal framing, wall studs, and floor joists begin hollowing out. Doors may start sticking. You might hear faint clicking sounds at night.
Damage: $2,000–$5,000
Multiple rooms affected. Flooring becomes spongy, walls show cracks, paint bubbles. The colony has now spread through your home’s core structure.
Damage: $5,000–$15,000
Load-bearing members compromised. Roof sagging, floor collapse risk. Full structural remediation required — some areas may need complete rebuild.
Damage: $15,000–$80,000+
At $8+ per day in damage, every week you wait costs another $56. One call to an expert today could save you tens of thousands.

Real stories from families we’ve helped protect.
“Buggo found active termites behind our bathroom wall that two other inspectors completely missed. Their thermal imaging technology detected what was invisible to the naked eye. They treated it the same week and saved us from what could have been $20,000+ in structural damage. Can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“We thought our 5-year-old home was safe from termites. Wrong. Buggo’s inspection found early-stage activity in our garage framing. Because they caught it early, the treatment was straightforward and affordable. They genuinely saved us thousands in future repairs. Outstanding service.”
“After the big storms last summer, I was worried about termites but kept putting off an inspection. When I finally called Buggo, they came out the next day. Professional, thorough, and their report was incredibly detailed with photos of everything. Turns out we were fine — but the peace of mind was worth everything.”
Every day you wait, termites could be causing $8+ in damage. Talk to an expert now — before a small problem becomes a $15,000 nightmare.
