PERTH’S BEST TERMITE INSPECTION SERVICES
Perth homes face one of the highest termite pressure zones in Australia. With Western Australia’s warm climate and widespread timber-framed construction, it’s not a matter of if termites will be active near your property — it’s when. At Eco Safe Pest Control, our licensed termite inspectors have been protecting Perth families for over 15 years using eco-friendly pest control methods that are tough on termites but safe for your household.
Whether you’re a homeowner who hasn’t had an inspection in a while, a buyer conducting due diligence before settlement, or a property manager responsible for commercial premises, a professional termite inspection is the single most important step you can take to protect your investment.
Why Termite Inspections Are Critical in Perth?
Termites — often called white ants — are responsible for an estimated $4 billion in damage to Australian properties every year. They work silently inside walls, flooring, roof voids, and subfloors, hollowing out structural timbers before most homeowners even notice a problem. By the time visible signs appear, the damage can already be severe and costly to repair.
Perth’s Mediterranean climate creates ideal conditions for species such as Coptotermes acinaciformis and Schedorhinotermes species — two of the most destructive subterranean termites in Australia. These colonies can contain hundreds of thousands of workers, and a mature colony can consume a kilogram of timber every day.
Regular professional inspections are recommended at least once every 12 months under Australian Standard AS 3660.2. In high-risk areas or properties with a history of termite activity, more frequent inspections are strongly advised.
What Our Termite Inspection Covers?
Our inspections are conducted in strict accordance with AS 4349.3 — the Australian Standard for timber pest inspections. Every inspection is thorough, methodical, and documented. Here is what our licensed inspector will assess:
- Interior timber framing, skirting boards, door frames, and window reveals
- Subfloor areas, including bearers, joists, and stumps where accessible
- Roof void timbers, rafters, and battens
- External perimeter of the building, retaining walls, fences, and decking
- Garden beds, tree stumps, firewood storage, and landscaping timbers in close proximity to the structure
- Drainage patterns and moisture-prone areas that attract termite activity
We use a combination of visual inspection, moisture metres, and where appropriate, thermal imaging to detect termite activity in concealed areas that are impossible to see with the naked eye.
Advanced Detection Technology
Not all termite inspections are equal. Eco Safe Pest Control equips our inspectors with industry-leading detection tools to ensure no termite activity goes undetected:
- Thermal Imaging Cameras — Detect heat anomalies behind walls and ceilings caused by termite activity or moisture damage
- Moisture Metres — Identify elevated moisture levels in timber, a key indicator of hidden termite workings
- Termatrac Motion Detection — Detects termite movement within walls and cavities without the need for drilling or destruction
- Borescope Camera — Inspects inaccessible wall cavities and subfloor areas with minimal disruption to your home
These tools allow us to detect termites early — often before any visible damage is present — giving you the best chance to act quickly and affordably.
Warning Signs of Termite Activity
Between annual inspections, knowing what to look out for can help you catch a problem early. Contact us immediately if you notice any of the following:
- Mud tubes (pencil-width earth tunnels) along your foundations, walls, or stumps
- Hollow-sounding or blistered timber when tapped lightly
- Doors or windows that have suddenly become difficult to open or close
- Frass — small piles of fine powdery material resembling sawdust near timber
- Discarded wings near windowsills, skirting boards, or light fixtures
- Visible tunnelling or damage inside timber boards or furniture
Do not disturb any suspected termite activity. Disturbing an active colony can cause them to retreat and relocate, making treatment more difficult. Call us first and let our specialists assess the situation.
Types of Termite Inspections We Offer
- Annual Termite Inspection
The cornerstone of any termite management plan. We recommend all Perth homeowners schedule an annual inspection, regardless of whether they have an active barrier or baiting system in place. This inspection provides a full written report on your property’s current risk level, any evidence of termite activity, and recommended next steps.
- Pre-Purchase Termite Inspection
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. A pre-purchase termite inspection, completed before settlement, can identify existing infestations, damage, or conditions conducive to termites. Our reports are detailed, plain-English documents that give you the clarity to negotiate, walk away, or proceed with confidence.
- Commercial Termite Inspection
Retail premises, office buildings, schools, childcare centres, warehouses, and strata properties all require tailored termite inspections. Our commercial inspection team works around your trading hours to minimise disruption, and we provide detailed reports that meet compliance and insurance requirements.
- Post-Construction Inspection
New builds are not immune to termites. If your property’s construction barrier has been disturbed, compromised, or has expired, a post-construction inspection ensures your home is still properly protected.
What You Receive After Your Inspection?
Every Eco Safe Pest Control termite inspection concludes with a comprehensive written report delivered on the day. Your report includes:
- A full summary of all accessible areas inspected
- Photographic evidence of any termite activity or conducive conditions found
- Risk rating for your property based on construction type, location, and environment
- Clear treatment or prevention recommendations tailored to your property
- Compliance with Australian Standard AS 4349.3
Our reports are written in plain, easy-to-understand language — not industry jargon. We take the time to walk you through our findings on-site so you understand exactly what we found and what it means for your property.
Eco-Friendly, Family-Safe Approach
At Eco Safe Pest Control, our name reflects our philosophy. Where treatment is required following an inspection, we use organic and low-toxicity products that are safe for children, pets, and the environment. We don’t believe protecting your home should come at the expense of your family’s health or the surrounding ecosystem.
Our inspectors are fully licensed under Western Australian pest control regulations, undergo ongoing professional development, and carry full public liability insurance. You can trust that the person inspecting your home is qualified, accountable, and genuinely committed to looking after you.
Servicing All Perth Suburbs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does a termite inspection take?
A thorough inspection of an average-sized Perth home typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Larger properties, two-storey homes, or properties with extensive subfloor areas may take longer.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
We recommend you or a trusted representative be present so we can walk you through our findings immediately after the inspection. We will also need access to all internal areas, including the roof hatch and any subfloor access points.
How often should I have a termite inspection?
Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends a minimum of once every 12 months. If your property has had previous termite activity, is in a high-risk suburb, or has timber-rich landscaping close to the structure, we may recommend inspections every six months.
What if termites are found during the inspection?
Finding termites doesn’t have to be a disaster — catching them early is actually the best possible outcome. Our inspector will explain your treatment options clearly on the day, including chemical barrier treatments, baiting systems, and direct colony elimination. We will provide a written quote with no obligation, and we can often begin treatment the same day or within 24 hours.
How much does a termite inspection cost in Perth?
The cost of a professional termite inspection in Perth varies depending on the size and type of property. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us on 0424 800 001 for a quick quote tailored to your property. We believe every Perth homeowner should have access to quality inspections at a fair price — peace of mind shouldn’t cost a fortune.
Can termites damage a brick home?
Absolutely. While termites cannot eat through brickwork itself, most brick homes in Perth still contain significant amounts of timber — roof trusses, floor joists, skirting boards, door and window frames, internal wall framing, and cabinetry. Termites enter through the smallest of gaps in the slab or weep holes and travel unseen inside cavity walls to reach these timber elements. Brick veneer construction is not a barrier against termites.
My home has a termite barrier installed — do I still need an inspection?
Yes, without question. Chemical soil barriers and physical membranes degrade over time and can be compromised by landscaping, plumbing work, building additions, or simply age. Even the best-installed barrier requires an annual inspection to confirm it remains intact and effective. A barrier without a current inspection is a false sense of security.
Hear from Our Happy Customers
Rats Pest Control Perth (same company) came today and installed rodent stations around the house. The solution was more expensive than I expected, but I'm hoping this will resolve the problem on a longer term basis.
Very positive experience. Quick response, very knowledgeable.
I’m a returning happy customer for ant pest control after 2 years. The granular solution was done professionally by Sam for the whole house again. It worked wonders and ants took the bait within the next few minutes. Overall, it was a great experience with the team, I didn’t have to wait long to organize for Sam to come out. Also, job was done efficiently. Thank you. Hopefully my house will be ant free in no time. I’ll definitely be using them every year for a pest free home.
We have had an ant problem every summer for a few years and have fought them ourselves until this year. Eco Safe Pest Control were very fast at responding to my request. They were a bit late on arrival, but did advise of this. Relatively thorough inspection of property conducted; wanted to see where any activity was. We were then advised of the best course of treatment (which was the granules) which was fine (a little on the pricey side). The ant activity has decreased since treatment (treated 3 weeks ago). Thank you.
I had a B problem, it took a few tries to get it sorted, but they persisted and did a great job. Very happy with the service. would recommend.
Passionate bloke , gave great information and helped me out with a treatment for my home . Definitely would recommend
Emailed ECO safe and had a quick one day response they were out to assist me with our ant problem, they were timely and knowledgeable, reasonably priced and this is my 4th time using them great company.
After hearing rats in our roof I was after a fast and painless solution to our problem. I googled for a rat exterminator close by, requested a call back and within 3 hours had someone come to my house and taken care of our Rat problem. They treated both outside and in the roof cavity and provide a great warranty for re-treatment if required. We have a lot of pets and a child and knowing the treatment is safe for both was a huge bonus.
Great experience with Eco Safe. Googled closest to my suburb, placed a call and he was here within 20mins. Very knowledgeable, and worked quickly to tackle our problem with ants. Unfortunate our backyard is sizeable as this added to the cost but within minutes I watched the granular bait in action. He stands by his work with a guarantee so fingers crossed our ant problem will soon be a goner. Thank you very much, will definitely use Eco Safe in the future!!!
We have a bad ant infestation around our property and nothing we tried seemed to work. I contacted Eco Safe pest control and Lavlen was able to offer an appointment bit sooner that the other companies I contacted and suggested we only treat the ant issue for now. He is professional and knowledgeable and showed how the granule treatment works. Great service and will get in touch again for any other pest control issues. Thank you Lavlen.
Great service! Eco Safe were able to attend to our house the same day we contacted them. Very quick & efficient with their spraying of our ant problem. Also very knowledgeable. Will be using them again for all future issues with pests.
I searched for a pest control company in caversham and found ecosafe pest control and filled out a form to get a quote, I had a call within 30min to book an appointment for the next day. Very happy with the service and suprised at how many spiders and cockroaches came out after the spraying. Will definitely be using the company again.
The team at Ecosafe Pest Control Perth were so friendly, super responsive and provided some expert advice on Pest Control at our house. I made an enquiry online and they were here within two days! Would recommend to anyone needing an expert in pest control
We had an infestation all around the house of brown Ants. It was just getting worse and worse, even while we sprayed and baited. It only took a few minutes for Eco safe to deal with the issue using an granular solution. Lavlen was very professional and knowledgeable. Follow up: within 3 days there was significantly less ants around the house and on day 5 there was none. I was super impressed at how effective the bait worked compared to any off the shelf product. We'll worth the cost. I would have paid double to have this done 2 months ago and avoid all the headache
Yesterday I had Sam from Eco Safe Pest Control Perth spray my house for general pest control, I can highly recommend the company. Sam was very thorough and professional with his work spraying everything outside, in my garage and my garden shed. Not to mention turning up in 38• heat. I would highly recommend Eco Safe Pest Control Perth. I have used some other companies and their products just don’t seem to last. I have used these guys in the past and will continue on. Spiders dropping like flies along my fence and outside the next day!!! Now I have happy kids. Thanks 🕷️🕷️🕷️
Great friendly service and experience with Eco Safe. Very knowledgeable and gave breakdown of cause of ant problem. Could see the effects starting to take place within minutes. Would recommend and will use them in the future for any pest control
I am very pleased with the pest control services from Eco Safe Pest Control Perth. LK come and did the rat removal treatment in the roof and the shed around backyard. We got our carpet also damage by rat, which I was not happy at all !
