Warning Signs
Do You Have Termites?
Termites are expert hiders. Most homeowners don’t know they have an infestation until serious structural damage has already occurred. Look for these warning signs.
Tight-Fitting Doors & Windows
Termites produce moisture when eating timber, which causes wood to warp. Suddenly stiff doors or windows that used to open easily can be an early sign.
Hollow-Sounding Timber
Tap on skirting boards, door frames, or floors. If they sound hollow or papery instead of solid, termites may have eaten the timber from the inside out.
Bubbling or Peeling Paint
Paint that bubbles or peels without obvious moisture cause can indicate termites feeding just beneath the surface. Often mistaken for water damage.
Mud Tubes on Walls
Subterranean termites build pencil-width mud tubes along foundations, walls and pipes. These tunnels protect them from predators and maintain humidity.
Discarded Wings Near Windows
Swarmer termites shed their wings after finding a new colony site. Piles of small wings near window sills or doorways indicate an active swarm nearby.

Destroying Melbourne
Homes Right Now
Termites cause more structural damage to Australian homes than fires, storms, and floods combined — yet standard home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. By the time you see signs, they’ve often been active for years.
Melbourne’s warm, humid conditions make it one of Australia’s highest-risk termite zones. Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends annual inspections for all Melbourne properties — don’t wait until it’s too late.

Our Termite Services
Melbourne
From first inspection to long-term protection — we handle every stage of termite management with precision, premium products, and honest advice.
Termite Inspection
A thorough inspection of all accessible timbers — interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void, garden and fences. You receive a full written report with findings, risk areas and treatment recommendations. Compliant with Australian Standard AS 3660.
Learn More →Chemical Barrier Treatment
We apply Termidor — Australia’s #1 rated termiticide — to create an undetectable treatment zone around your home. Termites carry the chemical back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony. Provides up to 8 years of protection.
Learn More →Termite Baiting Systems
Low-impact baiting stations are installed around your property’s perimeter. Termites feed on the bait and share it with the colony, achieving full elimination with minimal chemical use. Ideal for properties near water or gardens.
Learn More →Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying a property? Don’t rely on a combined building & pest report. A dedicated termite-only inspection by our specialists is far more thorough and could save you from purchasing a home with hidden structural damage worth tens of thousands to repair.
Learn More →Pre-Construction Barrier
Building or renovating? We install AS 3660.1-compliant physical and chemical termite barriers before the slab is poured. Certificates issued by a qualified installer. Mandatory for all new construction in Melbourne under Victorian building regulations.
Learn More →Annual Protection Plans
Set and forget. We schedule your annual inspection, maintain your baiting system, and keep your warranty valid — all in one affordable yearly plan. Melbourne’s weather demands ongoing vigilance; we make it effortless.

Termite Inspection
Melbourne
Termites are masters of hiding. By the time you spot visible damage — bubbling paint, hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes — a colony has typically been active for 3–5 years. Our inspectors use thermal imaging and moisture detection tools to find termite activity that’s invisible to the naked eye.
Every inspection includes a detailed written report covering all accessible timbers, high-risk zones, conducive conditions, and specific treatment recommendations. We explain everything in plain language — no jargon, no pressure.
- Full interior, exterior, subfloor & roof void inspection
- Thermal imaging & moisture meter detection
- Detailed written report with photos
- AS 3660.2 compliant — accepted by all lenders & insurers
- No-pressure treatment recommendations
- Same-week appointments across all Melbourne suburbs
How It Works
Simple. Thorough. Guaranteed.
Chemical Barrier
Termite Treatment &
Barrier Installation
We use Termidor — the world’s most trusted termiticide — applied as a continuous chemical treatment zone around your home’s perimeter. Unlike repellent products, Termidor is undetectable to termites. They pass through the treated zone, pick up the chemical, and transfer it to every member of the colony.
- Termidor chemical barrier — lasts up to 8 years
- Eliminates entire colony, not just entry points
- Low-toxic, odourless — safe for family & pets
- Trench, rod injection & drilling methods available
- AS 3660.1 certificate of compliance issued
Your Home Insurance Will NOT Cover Termite Damage
Standard home and contents insurance policies across Australia specifically exclude termite damage — because it’s deemed preventable. The only way to protect yourself from a five or six-figure repair bill is a professional annual inspection and an active treatment program. Don’t find out too late.

No. Standard Australian home insurance policies specifically exclude termite damage because it is considered preventable through regular inspections and maintenance. This makes professional annual inspections and an active treatment program essential — they are your only financial protection against termite damage.
A correctly applied Termidor chemical soil barrier provides up to 8 years of protection. It creates a continuous treatment zone that termites cannot detect — they pass through it, carry the active ingredient back to the nest, and the entire colony is eliminated. Annual inspections are still recommended to maintain your warranty and catch any new activity.
Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends at least annual termite inspections for Melbourne properties. Homes near bushland, with previous termite activity, or with timber-framed construction should be inspected every 6–12 months. Our annual protection plans make this effortless — we schedule and remind you automatically.
