Common questions

How much does a termite inspection cost?
Inspections start from $330 single storey or $350 two storey. The thermal camera and moisture meter are included, not extras. I confirm the price before I start.

How long does an inspection take?
Usually one to two hours for a house, depending on its size and how easy it is to get around. I don't rush it.

Do I get the report on the day?
Yes. I write the report on-site and hand it to you before I leave. You're not waiting on an email.

Are white ants the same as termites?
Yes. White ants is the common Australian name for termites. Same insect, same inspection.

How often should I get a termite inspection?
At least once a year. More often if the place is higher risk: an older home, a damp subfloor, or timber and garden beds against the walls.
