How much does a termite inspection cost?

A professional termite inspection costs $200–$600. Annual inspections are strongly recommended for all timber-framed homes in Australia, particularly in QLD, NSW, and WA where termite activity is highest.

How often should I get pest control done?

General pest treatment (cockroaches, ants, spiders) is recommended every 6–12 months. Termite inspections should be done annually. Properties in high-risk areas may benefit from more frequent inspections.

Can I do my own pest control in Australia?
