What affects the price
- Property size - larger homes and blocks take longer to treat thoroughly.
- Severity of the infestation, and whether it's a one-off treatment or an ongoing issue.
- Type of pest - general pests are far cheaper to treat than an active termite problem.
- One-off treatment vs. an ongoing pest control plan with scheduled visits.
- Termite barrier method - chemical soil treatments vs. physical barrier systems price differently.
Frequently asked questions
Why is termite treatment so much more expensive than general pest control?
General pest control targets surface pests like ants and cockroaches, while termite work involves a full inspection and, if needed, a barrier system designed to protect the structure of the home - a much bigger and more specialised job.
How often should I get a termite inspection in Perth?
An annual termite inspection is the standard recommendation for Perth homes, given how common termite activity is in WA - catching an issue early avoids much more expensive structural repairs later.
Is a termite barrier a one-off cost?
The initial barrier installation is the biggest cost, but most systems need periodic inspection or top-ups to stay effective, so factor in some ongoing cost beyond the initial $2,100-$5,800 install.
