Termite inspection and treatment prices
House inspection
From $200
Starting price for a house with 2 bedrooms and 1 living room. Tell us about extra rooms, additional buildings and roof or subfloor access so we can confirm your quote.
Localised termite treatment
From $180
Targeted treatment of an assessed activity area. The method, extent of work and follow-up are agreed after assessment. This is separate from a whole-property management system.
These are starting prices, not fixed prices for every property. Larger homes, a house with a granny flat, difficult access and commercial or strata inspections need a tailored quote. Inspection and treatment are separate services; ask what your quote includes.
Chemical soil management systems and baiting or monitoring programs are quoted for your property. See our full pest control price list or call 0450 221 393.
What does a termite inspection include?
An inspection looks for visible evidence of termites, associated damage and conditions that may encourage activity. We agree the property areas and access before the visit. Depending on the building and safe access, this can include:
Inside the building
- Accessible skirting boards, door frames and other exposed timber.
- Areas around bathrooms, kitchens and plumbing where moisture may be present.
- Accessible roof void and subfloor areas, where entry is safe and within the agreed scope.
- Visible evidence around previous activity or treatment locations you identify.
Around the property
- Accessible external walls, foundations and termite entry points.
- Timber in contact with soil, stored wood and other conducive conditions.
- Agreed accessible fences, stumps, trees and outbuildings.
- Existing management systems and visible signs that their inspection zones are obstructed.
Your findings and next steps
The inspection report records the findings, areas inspected, access limitations, relevant conditions and recommended action. Ask us to explain any suspected activity, further investigation or treatment proposal. A report showing no visible activity describes what could be assessed at that visit; it does not guarantee concealed termites are absent or prevent future attack.
A standard visual inspection does not involve dismantling walls, lifting fixed floors or guaranteeing access to every concealed space. If a more invasive investigation is appropriate, its scope, permission and cost must be agreed separately. Tell us before booking if you need a pre-purchase timber pest inspection so we can confirm the report and scope required.
Signs that may point to termites
Possible signs include mud shelter tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings and unexplained changes to timber surfaces. These clues need assessment: water damage, decay and other insects can produce similar symptoms. Do not break open timber or tubes to investigate.
Mud shelter tubes
Earth-like tubes can appear on foundations and other surfaces. Leave them intact for inspection.

How inspection equipment helps
Equipment supports the technician’s inspection and interpretation. The tools selected depend on the property and suspected activity; no single device can find every termite in every building.
Thermal imaging and moisture readings
Thermal cameras show surface temperature differences that can highlight areas for further investigation. They do not see through walls. Moisture meters help identify elevated moisture, which can have several causes and does not by itself confirm termites.
Radar and targeted viewing
Termatrac detection equipment can help assess movement in a suspect area using radar, subject to material and access limitations. A borescope may help view a restricted space where suitable access exists. Making an access hole or other invasive work requires agreement first.
Termite treatment options: choose for the property
The appropriate plan depends on confirmed activity, construction, access, existing systems and the area needing protection. We explain why an option is recommended and what monitoring or follow-up it needs.
| Option | Purpose and limits | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| Localised treatment | Targets an assessed activity area. It does not automatically protect the entire property or establish that the colony has been eliminated. | From $180; agreed scope and follow-up |
| Chemical soil management system | Treatment of suitable soil areas around or beneath the building. Construction, access, paving and existing conditions affect installation and coverage. | Site-specific quote |
| Baiting / monitoring program | Stations and scheduled assessment, with bait use where appropriate. Requires an agreed servicing and monitoring plan. | Installation and ongoing servicing quoted |
Warranty and ongoing care
Eligible Termidor HE chemical barrier installations have an 8-year B2B service warranty, subject to the written agreement. Confirm coverage, inspection or maintenance requirements, charges and exclusions before booking. This is not a manufacturer warranty claim or a guarantee against every instance of termite damage. Localised treatment does not automatically include this warranty.
Product selection, preparation, re-entry and follow-up instructions depend on the treatment and label requirements. Tell us about children, pets, sensitive areas and any access restrictions before work begins.
From booking to a management plan
01
Share the property details
Tell us your suburb, property type, room count and whether you have seen live termites or damage. Mention a granny flat, strata areas, previous treatments and difficult access.
02
Confirm the inspection
We discuss the scope, access and starting price before booking. Provide available reports or treatment records and arrange permission for shared or tenanted areas.
03
Review the findings
We explain visible evidence, limitations and recommendations. Any proposed treatment or further investigation is quoted according to the work required.
04
Follow the agreed plan
Keep the report, treatment records and warranty terms. Follow the property-specific monitoring advice and arrange the next inspection at the recommended interval.
Prepare for your inspection and reduce conducive conditions
Clear access to inspection areas where it is safe to do so. Let us know about locked rooms, obstructed hatches and pets. Do not climb into the roof or subfloor yourself to prepare for the visit.
Address plumbing leaks and drainage problems, keep stored timber away from the building and avoid covering termite inspection zones with soil, mulch or new landscaping. Check with the technician before changing areas around an existing management system. These measures help access and risk management but do not replace inspections.
Termite inspection and treatment questions
How much is a unit or apartment termite inspection?
Unit and apartment inspections start from $150 for the agreed accessible areas. Shared areas and the whole building need a separate scope. We confirm access, inclusions and the final price before booking.
What does the $200 house starting price cover?
House inspections start from $200 for a property with 2 bedrooms and 1 living room. Additional rooms, buildings and difficult access can change the quote. Tell us the full property details when booking.
Is localised termite treatment $180 for the whole house?
No. Localised treatment starts from $180 for an assessed activity area and agreed scope. It is not a whole-house protection system. Follow-up and any broader management system are discussed and quoted separately.
How often should I arrange an inspection?
Ask for an inspection interval suited to your property, termite history and management system. Follow any written inspection and maintenance requirements in your treatment or warranty agreement. Contact us sooner if you notice suspected activity.
Can thermal imaging find all hidden termites?
No. Thermal imaging shows surface temperature patterns and can guide further assessment. It cannot see through walls or rule out all concealed activity. The report should identify inspection limitations.
Do you offer pre-purchase inspections?
Tell us that you are buying a property before booking. We will confirm the available timber pest inspection scope and report, access arrangements and price. A termite inspection is separate from a structural building inspection.
Do I need to leave during treatment?
Preparation and re-entry requirements depend on the product, treatment area and label directions. We explain the instructions for your service. Tell us about children, pets and sensitive areas beforehand.
Can you inspect strata and commercial properties?
Contact us with the address, building type, affected areas and access arrangements. We will agree a suitable scope and tailored quote with the authorised owner, strata manager or business representative.
