Termite Inspections & Treatment Melbourne

Termite inspections · all Melbourne suburbs

Find termites before they find your timber

Termites can do serious damage to a home before you see any sign of them, and repairs usually cost far more than an inspection. Melbourne Pest Control inspects homes, rentals and commercial properties right across Melbourne and gives you a clear written report and a fixed price for any treatment you need.

Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends a termite inspection at least every 12 months, and more often where the risk is higher.

Warning signs

Signs you may have termites

Mud tubes or "leads"Thin tunnels of soil running up walls, piers, foundations or fences.
Hollow or damaged timberSkirting boards, door frames or decking that sound hollow or feel soft.
Bubbling paint or plasterBlistered or cracked paint and plaster, sometimes with a damp look.
Doors & windows that stickFrames can distort as termites eat into the surrounding timber.
Flying termites & discarded wingsSwarms on warm, humid evenings, or small wings near windows and lights.

Found termites? Don't disturb them. Spraying them or breaking open mud leads can make the colony move somewhere harder to find. Leave them, and call us on 03 9002 4082.

If termites are found

Termite treatment options in Melbourne

Every property is different, so after the inspection we'll explain the options that suit your home and your budget, with a fixed price before any work starts. Depending on what we find, options can include:

Treating the active colony

Targeted treatment where termites are active, to eliminate the colony rather than just the termites you can see.

Chemical treatment zones

A treated zone in the soil around and under the building to help stop termites getting in.

Baiting & monitoring

Monitoring stations around the property that are checked regularly and baited when termites are found.

Who's at risk

Termite risk across Melbourne

Termites are active right across greater Melbourne. Homes are at higher risk when they're close to bushland, parks or creeks, have timber stumps or subfloors, have leaks or poor drainage, or have garden beds, mulch or timber touching the walls. If that sounds like your property, more frequent inspections are a good idea. We inspect in all Melbourne suburbs, from the CBD and inner suburbs to the east, south-east, north, west and bayside.

Questions

Termite inspections: common questions

How often should I get a termite inspection?

Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends a termite inspection at least every 12 months, and more often where the risk of termite activity is higher, for example homes near bushland, with timber subfloors or with moisture problems.

How much does a termite inspection cost in Melbourne?

Our termite inspections start from $249 including GST. Larger properties are quoted upfront, and you can combine an inspection with a general pest treatment from $399.

What should I do if I find termites?

Don't disturb them. Spraying termites or breaking open their mud leads can make the colony move and become harder to treat. Leave the area as it is and call us on 03 9002 4082 to arrange an inspection.

What happens if the inspection finds termites?

We'll explain what we found and the treatment options that suit your property, such as treating the active colony, chemical treatment zones or baiting and monitoring, with a fixed price before any work starts.

Does home insurance cover termite damage?

Most home insurance policies in Australia don't cover termite damage, which is why regular inspections matter. Check your own policy to be sure.

Are termite treatments safe for kids and pets?

We use APVMA-registered products and tell you exactly what precautions to take, including how long to keep children and pets away from treated areas.

Here’s what our pest control customers say

Feedback from Some of our Customers.

Would highly recommend Melbourne Pest Controller Peter was so friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. Was very happy with the price and I was able to book the service for the following day! Will definitely be using their services again :)

Good Support and 6 Months Pest Free Guarantee made my life stress free at least from the critters. Danny explained before treating and was in touch later. Overall What you expect , They delivered on their promise. Recommend them.

They do know the pests. Overall Good pricing and excellent support staff . I like how they take feedback without having the need to call, otherwise with previous companies that i used earlier i had to call and make them revisit. William was informative and on point.
