FAQ

Common questions

How much does a termite inspection cost in Adelaide?

You get a fixed price when you book. Every inspection includes Termatrac and thermal imaging and a written report. See what's included.

Baiting or chemical barrier: which is better?

Baiting (Exterra, Trelona) eliminates the colony and suits most existing homes. Soil barriers stop termites getting in and suit some builds. We recommend one on site. Compare them.

Do you do bird proofing for solar panels?

Yes. We fit mesh around the panel edges so pigeons and mynas can't nest underneath, without drilling into the panels. Bird proofing.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use eco-friendly options wherever we can and tell you exactly what's used and when it's safe to go back in.

How often should I get a termite inspection?

At least once every 12 months, as recommended by Australian Standard AS 3660.2. Homes with a history of termites, nearby bushland or a baiting system may need more frequent checks.

How long does a termite inspection take?

Usually 1 to 2 hours for a typical home. Larger homes and those with a subfloor take longer.

Do you drill holes in my walls?

No. Termatrac and thermal imaging let us check inside walls without drilling.

How long does it take baiting to kill a termite colony?

It varies with the season and the size of the colony. Colonies are often eliminated within a few months, and we keep monitoring until there's no activity.

How long do termite bait stations last?

Our baiting systems run for 5 years with regular monitoring visits.

Will bird proofing hurt the birds?

No. Mesh, netting and spikes block access. They don't harm birds, they just make the spot unusable.

Does solar panel mesh void my panel warranty?

We clip the mesh to the panel frames without drilling, which avoids damaging the panels. Check your installer's warranty terms if you're unsure.

How often should I get pest control?

Once a year suits most homes. Homes near bushland or with ongoing cockroach problems may need it more often.

Do I need to leave the house?

Usually not. We'll tell you which rooms to stay out of and for how long.
