About termite inspections
Australian standards recommend a termite inspection at least once a year, and more often in high-risk areas. Inspectors check the roof void, subfloor, fence lines and garden timbers using moisture meters and thermal cameras, then report on activity, damage and conditions that invite termites. An inspection is a few hundred dollars; unnoticed termite damage routinely runs into the tens of thousands, and home insurance does not cover it.
Getting quotes in Magra
Before booking a pest controller for termite inspections, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
Magra sits in the West Coast area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
Do pest controllers need a licence?+
Yes. Every state licenses pest management technicians, and termite work has additional requirements. Ask for the licence number and check it covers the treatment being quoted, especially for termite chemical barriers where warranties depend on accredited installation.
How often should I get a termite inspection?+
At least annually, per the Australian standard, and every six months in high-pressure areas or homes with previous activity. Concrete slab homes are not immune; termites enter through expansion joints, pipe penetrations and garden beds built above slab level. An inspection also documents conditions before you sell.
Are pest treatments safe for kids and pets?+
Modern treatments used correctly are low-toxicity once dry, and technicians will tell you how long to keep children and pets off treated areas, usually a few hours. Fish tanks need covering and pet bowls put away before spraying. Tell the technician about pets, pregnancy or health conditions when booking so products are chosen accordingly.
