Termite Inspection
Every year in Australia, termites cause more than $1.5 billion worth of damage to property – an expense that many insurance policies don’t cover. To guard against these costly losses and comply with the Building Code of Australia’s (BCA) minimum standards for protection from termite infestations, it is essential to have regular inspections conducted according to AS 3660.2-2000 criteria and follow any recommended “Termite Management” practices specified by BCA regulations.
Don’t let them threaten your home’s security! Every year, these destructive pests cost Australia millions of dollars in damages. In South East Queensland alone, 1 out of every 4 homes is attacked by termites during their lifetime – and this extensive damage isn’t typically covered by home insurance either.
At Eco Pest Control Sydney, we provide fast, reliable pest control services that help you keep your property protected from unwanted guests like termites.
Don’t wait around! safeguarding yourself against unnecessary repair costs starts here!

Tools We Use During Termite Inspections
During our inspections, we use various tools in order to determine a potential pest control problem:
- Moisture meters: Use for moisture reading. It can detect areas with a high humidity level, something that termites often are attracted to.
- Thermal imaging camera: May detect a heat pattern in walls or other areas, which can suggest the presence of termites.
- Termite Tapper: Assists in locating a termite colony by using a technique referred to as “tapping.”
- Torch: A source of light that will be used to check dark places for deformities and termite presence.
- Termatrac: Detection radar that emits a microwave signal, one that has been accurately calibrated in order to detect the presence of termites.
While these are the standard tools used for termite detection, our pest control technicians will make use of their own knowledge to find out whether you are dealing with a pest infestation or not.
What Happens If Termites Are Found?
If our staff findings surface signs of termite activity like cracks or tunnels by hand, we provide a detailed report on the extent of the infestation along with competitive prices for recommended treatments. A quote will be given for the treatment of live termites, the final price depending on the size of the colony.
Our Eco Pest Control Sydney team will provide a series of recommendations to take action. The first step will be removing the live colony by using pesticide products. Termite barriers and baiting systems will also be installed around the house, to prevent a new colony from entering the house.
Termite Treatment Services
If subterranean termites are found on your property, the pest control technicians at Eco Pest Control Sydney can offer a series of treatment options:
Treatments for Live Termites
When dealing with an existent termite issue, the live termites must be removed first. To eliminate the colony from your property, Eco Pest Control Sydney uses Termidor, a pesticide that is highly efficient in killing termites.
We will apply Termidor in the problem areas around the house, where termites are most likely to live. The pesticide will poison until the entire colony has been decimated.
Termite Barriers
Termite barriers come in two types. The first type is a physical barrier that is installed around the perimeter of the home. Very often, physical barriers are installed during the home construction, using concrete slabs to keep the termites from entering. Physical barriers use no chemicals, which means that their pest control efficiency may be reduced.
The second type is the chemical barrier, which involves applying a chemical treatment to the soil. We use Termidor as well, as it prevents the termites from getting inside your home, killing them almost immediately.
Chemical barriers must be reapplied every few months, depending on the potential for a pest control problem, but they offer good termite protection when you do not want to make structural home modifications. At Eco Pest Control Sydney, we may help you with the installation of chemical barriers around your home.
Termite Baiting Systems
Termite baiting systems will deploy baits at a distance from your home, attracting termites to the spot before they manage to reach your home. They may be installed aboveground or belowground.
The baits contain cellulose that attracts termites, along with a slow-acting pesticide. The pest will take the bait and feed the poison to the rest of the colony, killing every termite that comes into contact with it. At Eco Pest Control Sydney, we can install termite baiting systems around your home to prevent a potential termite infestation.
