Did you know that…

A termite inspection is recommended at least annually by the Australian Standard AS3660 even if you have a termite protection system in place. In most cases, these termite protection systems make termites easier to detect but won’t stop them from attacking your building. Your existing termite protection system may also be compromised which you need to be aware of.

Inspection FAQs

Why are termite inspections important in Adelaide?

Adelaide’s climate makes it highly susceptible to termite infestations. Regular inspections help detect termites early, preventing extensive and costly damage to your property. A professional inspection ensures that any signs of termites are found and treated before they cause structural issues.

How often should I have a termite inspection?

It’s recommended to have a termite inspection at least once a year. More frequent inspections may be needed if your property is in a high-risk area. Regular inspections provide peace of mind and help catch infestations early, minimising potential damage.

What does a termite inspection involve?

A termite inspection involves a thorough check of your property, including walls, floors, roof spaces, and the exterior. Technicians use specialised tools to detect hidden termites and assess any structural damage that they have caused. You will receive a detailed report highlighting any issues and recommended treatment options.

How long does a termite inspection take?

A termite inspection typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your property. Larger properties or those with potential issues may take longer. After the inspection, the technician will provide a comprehensive report with findings and any necessary recommendations.

What should I do to prepare for a termite inspection?

Before a termite inspection, ensure access to all areas of your home, including roof spaces and under-floor areas. Clear any clutter around the property, particularly near the foundation, so the technician can conduct a thorough inspection. No significant preparation is required, but easy access helps.

How much does a termite inspection cost in Adelaide?

The cost of a termite inspection varies depending on your property’s size and the inspection’s thoroughness. Most professional pest control companies offer competitive rates and free quotes. Contact a local Adelaide provider to get an accurate price for your specific needs.
