Professional Termite Treatment Solutions for Melbourne Homes and BusinessesTermites, commonly known as white ants, are a significant threat to both residential and commercial properties across Victoria. As one of Australia’s most destructive and costly pests, termite damage often goes undetected until it’s too late, and it is not typically covered by general home insurance. If you notice any of the common signs of termite damage, prompt and effective treatment is essential to preserving the structural integrity and financial value of your property—whether it’s your home, office, or leased space. Fortunately, our comprehensive termite treatment solutions are specifically designed to deliver effective, long-lasting results. Reach out to Casey Pest Management today for expert termite control and safeguard your property from costly damage. |
Termite Baiting SpecialistsTermite baiting is a modern, eco-friendly method of termite control. Among the various termite treatment techniques we offer, termite baiting stands out for providing clear visual evidence of the different stages of colony decline. It also offers a reliable and documentable process for confirming colony elimination. Unlike traditional dusting methods, which can be inconsistent and highly dependent on specific conditions, termite baiting provides a more predictable path to controlling a termite infestation. This is why it is our preferred colony control method here at Casey Pest Management. Termite baits leverage the termites' natural foraging and feeding behaviours to effectively eliminate the colony. |  |
 | How Do Termite Baits Work?Termite bait systems offer a targeted, environmentally friendly, and highly effective solution for eliminating termite colonies and preventing future infestations. The method leverages termites’ natural behaviour to spread a slow-acting insecticide throughout their colony, ensuring comprehensive eradication. By strategically placing plastic bait stations containing cellulose material or wood attractive to termites and regularly monitoring activity, our technicians can control infestations while minimising disruption to your home and environment. This step-by-step approach not only eliminates active colonies but also serves as a long-term defence against potential re-infestations. |
Here’s our step-by-step process |
Comprehensive InspectionOur licensed termite professionals inspect your property to identify termite activity and assess colony size. | Strategic Bait PlacementBait stations containing cellulose and a slow-acting insecticide are placed in high-activity zones. | Colony Elimination MilestonesAs termites feed and spread the bait, their caste system and termite nests collapse. Milestones are documented for transparency. |
Termite Chemical Soil TreatmentsTermite chemical soil treatments involve applying liquid termiticide around and under structures to saturate the soil. This technique creates a 'treated zone' that prevents termites from travelling through the soil and reaching the structure, but does not treat the timbers or interior of the house. For the treatment to be effective, it must form a continuous, unbroken barrier integrated with the building's concrete footings. Any gaps or cracks in the treatment or footings can allow termites to bypass the barrier and access the structure, much like leaving a gate open. These treatments are not designed to kill termites or prevent them from appearing in untreated areas. They only stop termites from entering the building. If termites manage to bypass the treated zone, their activity may be detected during regular inspections, allowing for early intervention before major damage occurs. |  |
 | Which is Best for Chemical Termite Prevention?When it comes to chemical protection against termites, there are two main options: repellents and non-repellents. Each termite chemical soil treatment works differently and has its own advantages: Repellents
Non-Repellents

Why Insurance Won’t Cover Termite DamageMost insurance companies exclude termite damage from home and contents policies due to the high level of risk associated with it. Luckily, Termidor provides you with two unmatched forms of reassurance: the superior protection zone itself and our exclusive Termidor Assurance Warranty, which covers your home for structural damage up to $2 million.

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. |
How do I know if I have termites or termite damage? | Signs of termites can include hollow-sounding timber, sagging floors, bubbling or cracked paint, mud tubes along walls or foundations, and discarded wings near windows or doors. Because termites often work in hidden areas, a professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm their presence. |
How long does termite treatment last? | It depends on the method used. Liquid soil treatments can protect a property for up to 8 years, while baiting systems require ongoing monitoring and maintenance to remain effective. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure lasting protection. |
Do I need to vacate my home during termite treatment? | In most cases, no. Modern termite treatments are designed to be safe for occupants, including children and pets. If a situation requires temporary relocation, your technician will advise you in advance. |
Can termites come back after treatment? | Yes, reinfestation is possible if preventative measures aren’t maintained. We recommend regular monitoring, inspections, and maintenance of bait stations or barriers to help prevent termites from returning. |
How much does termite treatment cost? | Costs vary depending on the property's size, the extent of the infestation, and the chosen treatment method. Our licensed technicians can provide you with a tailored quote after a property inspection. |
Will termite treatment damage my garden or landscaping? | No. Treatments are applied carefully to minimise disruption. At Casey Pest Management, our licensed technicians work around plants, lawns, and landscaped areas while still creating a fully effective protection zone. |
How soon can I expect to see results after termite treatment? | Results vary depending on the method used and the colony size. Baiting systems may take several weeks as termites spread the bait, while liquid treatments can create an immediate barrier to prevent further activity. |
What happens if termite activity continues after treatment? | If activity persists, our technicians will reassess the property, adjust the treatment plan, and provide additional measures to ensure complete eradication. |
Can one treatment completely eliminate termites? | Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals, a properly executed termite treatment can completely eliminate the colony. Ongoing monitoring is recommended to prevent reinfestation. |
How do I know which termite treatment is best for my property? | A licensed technician will assess your property, termite risk, soil type, and any existing damage to recommend the most effective solution—whether baiting, liquid barriers, or a combination of both. |
