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 Richmond
When you enquire about termite inspections, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for termite inspections is flexible, include that in the Richmond request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
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.
