Termite Treatment and Inspections in Perth

Perth properties face real termite risk. We provide thorough termite inspections, treatment and ongoing management to protect your property from costly termite damage.

Our Termite management strategy

Every property presents different termite risks, so we begin with a thorough inspection before recommending treatment. We assess the construction, termite activity, entry points, moisture conditions, existing protection and any limitations that may affect the outcome. All suitable options are considered—from a single localised treatment for a specific area to chemical soil treatments, monitoring and baiting systems, physical improvements and ongoing inspection programs. We clearly explain the advantages, limitations and maintenance requirements of each option, allowing you to make an informed decision. Where appropriate, we combine multiple methods into an integrated termite management strategy designed to control current activity, reduce future risk and provide effective long-term protection.

Getting Started with Termite Protection

Termites can cause serious damage before you ever see the warning signs, so the right starting point depends on where you are in your property journey. Whether you are buying a home, building a new property, or protecting an existing house or business premises, Perth Pest Specialist can help you choose the right termite pathway.

Start by selecting the option that best suits your situation:

Choose Your Termite Pathway

  • Pre-Construction Termite Treatment

    Building a new home or commercial property? The best time to plan termite protection is before construction is complete. A pre-construction termite treatment is designed to help protect vulnerable entry points around the slab, service penetrations, construction joints and other areas where termites may try to gain concealed access.

    We can assess your building stage, discuss suitable termite protection options and provide a quote for installation as part of your termite management plan.

  • Pre-Purchase Termite Inspections

    Buying a property in Perth? A pre-purchase timber pest inspection helps you understand the termite and timber-pest risk at the property you want to purchase. Our inspection looks for evidence of termites, wood borers, wood decay fungi and chemical delignification, as well as conditions that may increase the risk of future timber pest activity.

    You will receive a report, showing clear findings and practical recommendations so you can make a more informed property decision before settlement.

  • Termite Inspections for Existing Properties

    If you already own the property, the first step is a timber pest inspection. Before we recommend a termite treatment, perimeter protection or ongoing management plan, we need to inspect the property and understand the construction, termite activity, moisture conditions, entry points, existing protection and any limitations.

    From there, we can recommend the most suitable next step, whether that involves active termite treatment, baiting, monitoring, a perimeter treatment, repairs to an existing system or an ongoing inspection program.

Not sure how to get started with treating your home for termites?

If you are unsure where to start. Start here and we will guide you through the next step. Our approach is based on inspecting first, explaining your options clearly and helping you choose a termite management strategy that suits your property, risk level and long-term protection goals.

Termite Services

  • Termite Inspections

    A thorough termite inspection is the first step in protecting your property. We inspect all accessible areas of your home or building, including:

    • Interior rooms, skirting boards, door frames and window frames

    • Roof void and subfloor areas (where accessible)

    • External perimeter, including garden beds, fencing and retaining walls

    • Garages, sheds and outbuildings

    • Trees and stumps within the property boundary

    We use professional inspection tools including sounding devices, endoscopic cameras, moisture meters, Termatrac Radar detection, and thermal imaging (where required) to detect termite activity that isn't visible to the naked eye.

    After the inspection, we provide a detailed written report covering our findings, any termite risk factors identified and our recommendations.

  • Termite Treatment

    If termite activity is detected, we recommend a treatment plan based on the species, the extent of activity and the construction type of your property. Treatment options include:

    • Chemical Soil Treatment (Termiticide Perimeter Treatments) - A treated zone is applied around the perimeter of your property to prevent termites from entering the building.

    • In-ground monitoring and/or Termite baiting systems — Bait stations are installed around the property to monitor, intercept and eliminate termite colonies.

    • Direct colony treatment — Targeted treatment applied directly to active termite workings to eliminate the colony.

    • Combination approaches — In some cases, a combination of treatment methods provides the most effective protection.

  • Ongoing Termite Management

    Ongoing Termite Management

    A one-off treatment isn't enough to protect your property long term. Termite management is an ongoing process. Perth Pest Specialist provides:

    • Annual termite inspections to monitor your property for new activity

    • Perimeter maintenance to ensure chemical treatments remain effective

    • In-ground monitoring station inspections

  • Inspection

    When we arrive, we begin with a brief discussion to confirm the services agreed upon for the day.

    We then walk around the property with you to identify any additional concerns, treatment requirements or potential risks before work begins.

  • Safety First

    We inspect the treatment areas and complete a site risk assessment to protect your family, pets, wildlife, property and our technicians.

    Any identified risks are removed or carefully managed before products are applied.

  • Treatment

    Targeted, professional-grade treatments that are safe for families and pets when used as directed

    All treatments are carried out responsibly and in accordance with product-label directions, with safety and effectiveness as our highest priorities.

What to Expect

All Pest treatments do not place a protective “glass dome” over your property. Insects may still enter by flying, jumping or travelling through untreated entry points. Residual treatments are also not always instant—an insect that contacts a treated surface may take anywhere from several minutes to 24 hours to die, depending on the pest, the treated surface and the amount of insecticide it picks up. Rest assured, the insect will die in due course.

Why Termite Protection Matters in Perth

Termites work silently. By the time you notice visible signs of termite damage — hollow-sounding timber, mud tubes, damaged skirting boards — the colony has often been active for weeks or months. Structural repairs from termite damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars and are rarely covered by standard home insurance.

Key termite risk factors for Perth properties:

  • Sandy soils across many Perth suburbs

  • Older homes with limited or expired termite treatments

  • Properties with garden beds, mulch or trees close to the building

  • Homes with subfloor areas, timber framing or timber retaining walls

  • Properties that haven't had a termite inspection in over 12 months

When Should You Get a Termite Inspection?

When Should You Get a Termite Inspection?

  • You haven't had an inspection in the last 12 months

  • You're buying or selling a property

  • You've noticed signs of termite activity (mud tubes, hollow timber, discarded wings)

  • You're renovating or extending your home

  • Your property has known termite risk factors

The Australian Standard (AS 3660) recommends annual termite inspections for all properties in termite-prone areas — and Perth is one of the highest-risk regions in Australia.
