Pest Control & Termite FAQs – Central Coast NSW

Termite FAQs

Are termites common on the Central Coast NSW?

Yes. Termites are very common across the Central Coast due to warm temperatures, coastal moisture, sandy soils and a high number of timber-framed homes. Suburbs such as Copacabana, Avoca Beach, Narara, Lisarow and Terrigal are particularly prone to subterranean termite activity. Regular termite inspections are essential on the Central Coast, even if there are no visible signs of damage, as termites often remain hidden inside walls and subfloors.

How much does a termite inspection cost on the Central Coast?

The cost of a termite inspection on the Central Coast typically depends on the size, age and construction type of the property. Older homes, properties with subfloors, or homes in high-risk termite zones may require more detailed inspections. A professional termite inspection is far more affordable than repairing structural termite damage, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars if left untreated.

How often should termite inspections be done in NSW?

In NSW, termite inspections are recommended at least once every 12 months. For high-risk areas such as coastal suburbs or properties surrounded by bushland, inspections every 6–9 months are strongly advised. Regular inspections help detect early termite activity and maintain compliance with Australian Standards for termite management.

What time of year are termites most active?

Termites are active year-round on the Central Coast, but activity increases during warmer and wetter months, particularly from spring through autumn. Heavy rainfall, humidity and mild winters allow termite colonies to stay active underground, making inspections important even outside peak summer periods.

General Pest Control FAQs

What pests are most common in Central Coast homes?

The most common household pests on the Central Coast include ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, silverfish and fleas. Coastal environments and surrounding bushland create ideal breeding conditions for pests, especially in homes with moisture issues, roof voids or garden landscaping close to the structure.

How often should residential pest control be done?

For most Central Coast homes, general pest control is recommended annually. However, properties with persistent pest issues, high moisture levels or nearby bushland may benefit from treatments every 6–9 months. Regular pest control helps prevent infestations before they become costly or difficult to manage.

Is pest control safe for children and pets?

Yes. Modern pest control treatments are designed to be safe when applied correctly by a licensed professional. Child- and pet-safe pest control options are available and commonly used across residential properties on the Central Coast. Any specific precautions will be explained prior to treatment to ensure safety.
