Local conditions
Why Turramurra gets the pests it gets
Turramurra sits in the Ku-ring-gai, on the upper North Shore, with Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and Lane Cove National Park either side. Four things about this particular suburb decide what we get called out for.
National park on the doorstep
With Ku-ring-gai Chase to the north and Lane Cove National Park to the south, there is a permanent reservoir of rodents, possums and termites in the bush that will happily move into a house that gives them an opening.
Heavy tree cover and leaf litter
Large established gums mean constant leaf litter, damp mulch and fallen timber. All three hold moisture against the ground and feed a termite colony long before it reaches your house.
Big older homes
A lot of Turramurra housing stock is large, old and timber framed, often with subfloor space, decks and additions built across decades. More structure and more joins means more places for activity to go unseen.
Decks, pergolas and sleeper walls
Outdoor timber is the most common place we find activity up here. A deck post or a sleeper wall in contact with soil is a direct path past whatever protects the house itself.

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 Turramurra
Questions we get from this area
Is Turramurra a high risk area for termites?
Bushland suburbs on Sydney's upper North Shore carry more termite pressure than open, built up areas, because the surrounding bush supports established colonies. That does not mean your house has them. It means an annual inspection is worth far more here than a guess.
Do you do pre-purchase inspections in Turramurra?
Yes. Worth doing on any older timber framed home up here before you commit, and the written report is yours to keep.
What does an inspection cost?
From $280 + GST for a full inspection to the Australian Standard. General pest treatments start from $180 + GST. Termite treatments are quoted after a look.
Do you cover the rest of Ku-ring-gai?
Yes, including Pymble, Gordon, Roseville, St Ives, Wahroonga, Killara and Lindfield.
