Local conditions
Why Cammeray gets the pests it gets
Cammeray sits in the North Sydney, between Willoughby Bay and Long Bay, with Tunks Park and the golf course on its edge. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
Reserve on two sides
Tunks Park, the golf course and the bushland running down to Long Bay and Willoughby Bay all support permanent rodent and termite populations. Homes backing onto them are simply first in line.
Bungalows and original timber
Most of the housing here predates modern termite barriers. Bearers, joists, enclosed subfloor and original framing are all at risk, and none of it can be assessed from the street.
Sloping blocks and retaining walls
The peninsula falls away on both sides, so most blocks are cut in with retaining walls and fill. Timber sleeper walls in contact with soil are a direct bridge over any chemical barrier around the house.
Damp subfloors
Cut-in, shaded and close to water on both sides, subfloors here hold moisture for longer than they should. Damp subfloor is the condition subterranean termites look for.

The termites here
Three species, one of them serious.
Sydney has three subterranean termites worth naming. Coptotermes acinaciformis is the destructive one and the reason inspections matter: it nests out of sight and works through structural timber from the inside. Schedorhinotermes is the second most common in damage claims. Nasutitermes mostly takes fences, stumps and decking rather than the house itself.
Telling them apart changes the treatment, which is why an inspection identifies the species rather than just confirming activity.

Asked in Cammeray
Questions we get from this area
My house backs onto Tunks Park. Should I be worried?
It raises the pressure rather than guaranteeing a problem. Reserve edge homes see more termite and rodent activity, so an annual inspection earns its money here and proofing the roofline matters more than it does further inland.
How often should an older Cammeray home be inspected?
At least every twelve months, which is the Australian Standard. On a bungalow with original timber and a damp subfloor, keep to it without fail.
What does it cost?
Termite inspections from $280 + GST with a written report you keep. General pest from $180 + GST. Termite treatments are quoted after a look.
Do you cover the rest of North Sydney council?
Yes. Crows Nest, Cremorne, Neutral Bay, North Sydney, Kirribilli, Milsons Point, Waverton, Wollstonecraft, Lavender Bay and McMahons Point.
