Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does a termite inspection cost in Melbourne?
We don't quote a fixed price online — every job gets a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee to get one. Final cost depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope, confirmed before you book.
QHow often should I get a termite inspection?
Australian Standards (AS 3660.2) recommend annual termite inspections for all properties. Homes in high-risk areas (near bushland, with established gardens, or with no existing termite barrier) should consider 6-monthly inspections. Many home insurance policies do not cover termite damage, making prevention critical.
QWhat does a termite inspection include?
Our termite inspection includes thermal imaging scanning of walls and ceilings, moisture meter readings in subfloor and wet areas, visual inspection of the roof void, subfloor, external perimeter, garden beds, fences, retaining walls, and any timber structures. You receive a comprehensive written report with colour photos and specific recommendations.
QCan termites be detected without damaging walls?
Yes. Our thermal imaging cameras detect heat signatures and temperature differences behind walls that indicate termite activity, without any drilling or wall damage. Moisture meters also detect the elevated moisture levels that termites create. These non-invasive tools allow us to identify active infestations behind plasterboard.
Termite inspections in Melbourne
A termite inspection is meant to establish what can be observed at your property, not to diagnose an infestation from a photograph or a single mark in timber. Mud-like shelter tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems deserve professional assessment. The inspector should explain which areas were accessible, what evidence was found and what remains uncertain.
What an inspection can cover
Depending on safe access, the assessment may include internal rooms, roof and subfloor spaces, the building perimeter, drainage and nearby timber structures. Moisture meters and thermal imaging can assist an inspection, but an image or elevated moisture reading alone does not prove live termite activity. Ask what tools were used and how any finding was confirmed.
How to prepare without disturbing evidence
- Keep photographs of suspected damage and the date it was noticed.
- Tell the inspector about leaks, past termite work and inaccessible spaces.
- Make access to the roof hatch, subfloor entry and perimeter available where practical.
- Avoid breaking open suspected workings or spraying the area before assessment.
A useful report distinguishes observed activity from conducive conditions and records any access limitations. If termites are confirmed, the next decision is a site-specific management plan. Read about termite treatment and termite barriers after the inspection, rather than choosing a system in advance. The Victorian Department of Health notes that identifying the pest termite helps guide control.
Questions to ask when you receive the findings
Which areas were inspected? What evidence supports the identification? Were any areas inaccessible? What conditions should be corrected? What follow-up or monitoring is recommended? Clear answers make it easier to compare treatment options and maintain a record for the property.
