Long-term termite protection doesn’t end with one inspection and treatment. To stay termite-free, you will need to commit to at least an annual termite inspection to make sure they haven’t returned or re-colonized somewhere else on your property. Slow-release termite bait stations may be part of your long-term pest control plan.

Had a termite inspection that cost $195 and came back with a clean bill of health. A year is up so I need to decide if I will do another termite inspection for the same price.

That cost includes a Wood Destroying Insect Report. The average termite inspection, if not offered free as a promotion, costs around $65-$100, depending on the area you live in and the size of your home. Real estate closing inspections are not offered free because a 2-part Wood Destroying Insect Report must be generated.

Most people have the inspection (required for a mortgage in many areas)then have them come out annually to check the “feeders” that are placed out. If there is activity – they put in poison. Damage from termites can be thousands of dollars. Homeowners do NOT cover this type of damage. My neighbors sold their home but they found termite damage.

Protect your home and family with fast and cost-effective Annual Termite Inspections. Annual termite inspections are forced by governments around Australia. But why? CSIRO estimates that at least 1 in 5 homes will suffer a termite attack at some point in their lifetime and new homes and metal framed homes are not immune!

Your home needs a yearly termite inspection regardless of whether you live in an old house or a house built in the past couple of years. Do not skip this inspection simply because it costs money. If termites are present at your home and you are unaware of their presence, you will end up paying through the nose at some point down the line for major repairs.
