Protect Your Property With An In-depth Termite Inspection
Did you know that it’s estimated that termites cause five times more damage to homes than fire in Australia each year?
Sadly, you are not covered for termite damage by your general household/building insurance, which means you could potentially have to fork out thousands of dollars to repair the damage these exceptional insects might have caused.
The best thing to do is to contact us and get a regular In-Depth Termite Inspection done. That way you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your property is free from termites.
We offer quality termite inspection services for residential and commercial property owners.
Termite Inspection Services We Offer
At Suburban Pest Management, we perform many in-depth termite inspections each year. As local pest professionals and termite inspectors, we know just where to look to find the elusive creatures. We conduct a wide variety of termite inspections, including:
- Routine termite inspections – We recommend all home and business owners have an annual termite inspection done
- Emergency termite inspections – You may have discovered termites and you desperately need to get an expert out to get advice on how to treat them
- Pre-purchase inspections – We offer pre-purchase inspections but these are not covered by this special. For more information or a quote, you should give us a call.
Suburban’s Thorough Termite Inspections
The average cost to repair the damage to a standard residential home from a termite attack currently sits around $8,000, so a yearly inspection for most residential properties costs but a pittance. We recommend that every home or business have an annual termite inspection done.
Our expert termite inspectors have years of experience and training, and they use thermal imaging cameras and state-of-the-art equipment to detect these creatures. Because termites spend most of their lives underground and inside wooden structures, it’s sometimes hard to see any evidence of a termite attack with the naked eye.

Plus, for a limited time, we have an online termite inspection special, offering even more value. You can book online via our live online booking system at a date and time convenient to you.
Our inspections are the most thorough in the local area. We don’t just inspect the inside of your home. We hunt down termites wherever they might hide, including:
- Your yard and garden: We check all your timber fencing, retaining walls, trees, tree stumps, and timber landscaping features within 50 metres of your building
- Inside your building: Our termite inspectors examine all your timber fittings, cupboards, trims, window architraves, flooring, skirting, doors, and door jambs for any potential termite entry
- Under your home: We check your sub-floor too, if it’s accessible. We’ll look at the joists, bearers, stored timber, the underside of your timber flooring, and all the timber support structures of your home
- The ceiling cavity and the roof: Moisture-affected and little-used areas are prime real estate for active termites. We check your skylights, your entire roof void, vents, gutters, downpipes, roof battens, beams, and rafters. Nothing escapes our attention.

The whole process should take a total of one to two hours.
After we finish, we will provide you with a complete termite inspection report about what we found whilst we’re still on site. When we return to the office, we’ll edit the report, and then write a summary letter that makes it easier to understand the most important parts of our findings.
Then, we’ll make our recommendations. If we find evidence of termites, we’ll advise you to schedule a comprehensive termite treatment to rid your property of them for good.
If we don’t find any termites, you may want to have a proactive treatment to protect your home from termites. If not, we can give you some prevention tips, and at least you will be armed with the information you need to make an informed decision in future.
It’s well worth the investment. With our well-trained, insured, and fully licensed termite control professionals, you can’t go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you hear a papery sound when you touch door frames or windowsills, or if you see mud trails on your foundations or in the corners of walls, you are likely to have termites. The first thing to do is call us now on and arrange one of our accredited professional termite inspectors to carry out a termite inspection.
Once our Termite Control Technicians have thoroughly inspected the home itself to ensure there's no moisture behind walls or damage to structural timbers, the inspector will move on to the surrounding property and yard to make sure those areas are not showing signs of termite activity.
The best time to schedule a termite inspection is before you purchase your property as part of your Building and Pest Inspection. This way, if there are any problems, they can be addressed before you purchase. If all looks good during your first inspection, then regular termite inspections should be done once every year thereafter.
If you see visual termite damage, the first thing to do is call a pest control company like Suburban Pest Management and speak with one of our customer service team members about termite control services.
The cost of termite damage to homes and structures is in the millions of dollars every year throughout Queensland, which is why termite protection is so important.
The damage to property caused by termites is not covered by most insurance companies, so the best course of action is to ensure that you have termite protection in place to minimise the threat of termite attack, and that you are aware of termite treatment options. Termite protection methods include chemical barriers, physical barriers, and baiting systems.
Preparing your home for a termite inspection isn't difficult, but there are a few things you can do to help make it go more smoothly. You can clear away any clutter, and move items that might get in the termite inspector's way. This will help them to inspect your home more efficiently.
Anything you have stored under your sinks in the kitchen and bathroom will need to be moved to another area so that the inspector can check your water sources for termite activity.
The time a termite inspection takes depends on the size of your property and complexity of the layout of your home. You can expect that a termite inspection will take between one and two hours.
A termite expert will inspect the interior and exterior areas of your home, checking for visible signs of a termite infestation, which include: droppings, broken termite wings, mud tubes, and damaged wood.
