Common Questions About Pest Control
How much does pest control cost in Australia?
A general pest treatment (spiders, ants, cockroaches) costs $150–$400 for a standard home. Termite inspections cost $200–$400. Termite treatment (chemical barrier or baiting system) costs $2,500–$8,000+ depending on property size and treatment method.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
The Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends annual termite inspections. In high-risk areas (tropical north, coastal regions, homes with adjacent bushland), six-monthly inspections are recommended. If you find mud leads or damaged timber, arrange an inspection immediately.
Should I get a pest inspection before buying a home?
Yes — a pre-purchase pest inspection is strongly recommended for any property in Australia. Termite damage is common and can be concealed. Combine it with a building inspection for a thorough pre-purchase assessment. The cost ($200–$400) is minor compared to potential repair bills.
