How much is a termite inspection in the Inner West?

A termite inspection in the Inner West is from $330 for a single storey home and $350 for a two storey home. I check the house with a thermal camera and moisture meter, write the report on site on the AS 4349.3-2010 timber pest form, and hand it to you before I leave.

General pest control is $270 for a single storey home and $300 for a two storey home within 7 km of Earlwood, which takes in most of the Inner West, including Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Tempe, Hurlstone Park, Ashbury and Croydon Park. Beyond 7 km it's $50 more each. I'll confirm the price when you book.

A general treatment covers spiders, large cockroaches and ants, with a 6-month guarantee. More on my pest control page.

What termite treatments do you do in the Inner West?

I install chemical barriers (Termidor) and monitoring and baiting systems (Nemesis and Trelona), and on new builds, TermSeal and Green Zone physical barriers and reticulation. If there are live termites, the colony gets baited first.

How I decide between a barrier and monitoring: chemical barrier or monitoring system. All the options: termite barriers.
