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 Somersby
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 Somersby request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
Why are pests back after a treatment?+
Some rebound is normal in the first week or two as baits work and residuals flush pests out of hiding. Beyond that, reinfestation usually means a source was missed, conditions like moisture or food access remain, or a neighbouring property is the reservoir. Most reputable operators include a free re-treatment window; check the service period before booking.
Can I do pest control myself?+
Surface sprays and DIY baits can knock down light ant or cockroach activity, but they cannot legally or practically handle termites, wasp nests in cavities, or rodent proofing done properly. If a problem persists after two DIY attempts, a professional treatment usually works out cheaper than continuing to buy retail products.
How much does pest control cost?+
A general internal and external pest treatment for a standard home typically runs $150 to $350. Termite inspections are usually $250 to $400, and termite barrier or baiting systems run into the thousands depending on the home's perimeter. End-of-lease flea treatments are often around $100 to $200.
