Termite DamageTermites live together in colonies and travel up to 100 metres to find food (timber). A single colony is made up of millions of termites that can inflict $100,000 or more damage to your house in just a few months. The cost of termite damage in Australia exceeds $1 billion a year - more than storm and fire damage.


Termites are Invisible
Termites travel in underground tunnels. They enter your home through wall cavities and feast on the internal timber leaving the exterior shell intact. Most home owners don't know they have termites until the damage is done.

What Should Happen During an Inspection?
Professional inspectors take about 1.5-2 hours to check everything thoroughly. They start outside by inspecting the fence, trees and logs - looking for any signs of termite activity in the yard. Then they check the exterior of your home including the guttering, hot water overflows, air-conditioning condensation pipes, weep holes, and concrete.

Inside they check the architraves, door and window frames, skirting boards, walls, and carpet edging. They even crawl into the ceiling paying particular attention to areas above bathrooms and laundry where moisture is likely to attract termites. And finally they look under your home - inspecting piers, ant caps, and cavity walls.

Cost for Termite Inspecition

The CSIRO recommends you have your home inspected for termites every 6-12 months. But don't worry, it's not expensive. Prices are from $180 to have an experienced termite inspector thoroughly inspect your home and give you a full written report.
