Leafy ridgelines from Chatswood to Hornsby and the peninsula to Palm Beach
North Shore and Northern Beaches
Bushland reserves, sandstone gullies and mature eucalypts make Sydney's north one of the heaviest termite-pressure zones in the country. Homes back onto reserves, decks reach into tree canopies, and colonies have no shortage of nesting habitat within foraging range.

What Level 2 work looks like here
Proximity to bushland raises baseline risk regardless of construction type, which argues for inspection intervals shorter than the annual default.
Timber decks, pergolas and retaining walls stepping down sloped blocks provide both food and concealed pathways to the main structure.
Post-war brick veneer and timber-framed housing stock across the upper North Shore carries decades of undocumented repairs worth close reading.
Water movement down sandstone benching keeps soil moist year-round on many blocks, attractive foraging conditions even through dry winters.

In NSW, pest management technicians must hold a licence issued by the Environment Protection Authority to carry out inspection and pest management work. Ask any inspector for their licence number and confirm it covers timber pest work before they attend.
