Termite Inspection
Termites cause more than $1.5 billion of damage to Australian homes a year, and your home insurance almost certainly excludes it, so the whole cost of getting it wrong lands on you. A regular inspection is the cheapest insurance you can actually buy. Ours is a full timber-pest inspection with a written report to AS 4349.3.
Why termite cover is worth it, without the scare.
Matched to your home, not the dearest on the shelf.
There are three ways to protect a home from termites, and the right one depends on the building, the soil and whether there are termites active now. We install all three, to AS 3660.
Chemical barrier
Termidor & Altriset
A non-repellent soil treatment around the building to AS 3660. Termites can’t detect it, so they pass through and carry it back to the colony. The benchmark chemical barrier.
Baiting & monitoring
Sentricon & Exterra
In-ground stations that monitor for activity and, when termites hit them, eliminate the colony over time. Low-disturbance, ideal where a full chemical barrier isn’t practical.
Physical barrier
HomeGuard & Kordon
A physical and chemical barrier built in during construction or renovation, so termites can’t enter undetected. The right call for a new build or an extension.
We work with the established Australian termite systems and recommend the method the inspection calls for. The system that suits your property is named on your report.
What this job includes.
- ✓Full internal, external, roof void and sub-floor inspection
- ✓A written report to AS 4349.3: active termites, damage, risk
- ✓Moisture readings and the conducive conditions that invite termites
- ✓Clear notes on any inaccessible or limited-access areas
- ✓Honest advice on whether a barrier is needed, with no scare tactics
The same 7 lines, every time.
Whatever the pest, your report splits the job the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
- 1 Inspection first. We inspect the property and identify the actual pest, the entry points and the conditions feeding it, before we quote. Never a price over the phone.
- 2 Pest + severity named. What you have, how established it is and where it is active, written on the report. Not "general spray, she’ll be right".
- 3 Product named + APVMA reg. The exact APVMA-registered product and where it goes, named on the report. Child and pet safe once it has dried.
- 4 Re-entry + safety window. The exact drying and re-entry time, usually two to four hours, and what to wipe and what to leave afterwards.
- 5 Warranty term + re-service trigger. The warranty term and the exact trigger: active inside the term and we re-treat free, no six-week wait, no excuses.
- 6 Timber-pest check. Termites and timber pests flagged as their own line, because home insurance does not cover termite damage. An AS 4349.3 inspection or AS 3660 barrier if you need one.
- 7 Certificate + next inspection. The record of products applied, your certificate, and the honest re-treat date, most homes every six to twelve months.
