Frequently Asked QuestionsBelow we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our termite inspection services in Melbourne. If you have other questions not addressed here, please feel free to contact us—we’re always happy to help. |
Why do I need a termite inspection? | Termites are one of Australia’s most destructive pests, and homes are five times more likely to be damaged by termites than by fire. They often stay hidden in walls, floors, or roof spaces for years before showing signs. Regular inspections help detect termites early, protect your property’s value, prevent future risks, and give you peace of mind. |
How often do I need a termite inspection? | The Australian Standard recommends a professional termite inspection at least once every 12 months, or every 6 months in high-risk areas or homes with a history of termite problems. Qualified termite technicians, such as our team at Casey Pest Management, perform these inspections to ensure early detection, effective prevention, and lasting protection for your home. |
I found possible termite damage. Now what? | If you suspect termites or notice damage to skirting boards, door frames, or other timbers, it’s crucial not to disturb the area. Breaking open the timber or termite workings can cause the colony to retreat and start damaging another part of your home. Instead, contact a licensed termite technician immediately. By leaving the area undisturbed, your technician can accurately assess the situation and design a tailored termite treatment and protection plan for your home. |
Will the inspection cause any damage to my home? | No. Termite inspections are non-invasive and carried out using visual checks and specialised detection tools that don’t damage your property. |
How much does a termite inspection cost in Melbourne? | The cost depends on the size and condition of your property. Contact us for a customised quote tailored to your specific needs. |
What are the signs of a termite infestation I should look out for? | Common signs include hollow-sounding timber, bubbling paint, mud tubes on walls, discarded wings, or sagging floors. However, termites often stay hidden, which is why professional inspections are so important. |
Do I need a termite inspection before buying a property? | Yes! A pre-purchase pest inspection can save you from unexpected repair costs by identifying hidden infestations before you commit to buying. |
