I have found termites in my house. What should I do first?

We strongly advise against it. Retail sprays kill the few termites you can see but tend to scatter the rest of the colony, which keeps feeding elsewhere on the property. Professional treatment targets the colony at the source. On a Top End property, where termite pressure is high year-round, that is the difference between the problem stopping and the problem spreading.

Both. Northern Rock treats termites that are already in the building, and termites that are active out in the grounds, in trees, stumps, fences, retaining walls or garden timbers, before they reach the house. Treating them in the yard early is one of the best ways to protect the building.

There is no fixed price, because every infestation is different. The species, where the colony is nesting, and how far it has spread all change the treatment. Northern Rock inspects the property first, then gives you a free quote for the treatment that fits. Book an inspection to get yours.

Treatment eliminates the active colony on the property. What stops a new colony moving in is ongoing protection, a termite management system kept current. After treating, Northern Rock can set the property up on the right system and keep it on schedule, so it stays protected long-term.

Fast response and flexible scheduling across Darwin, Palmerston and the Top End. Book an inspection and we will get out to scope the treatment, so live activity is dealt with rather than left to spread.
