What is the price of a Termite Inspection in Brisbane?
Have you recently come across signs of termites in your Brisbane home and are now contemplating who to contact and what the cost might be? The question of “What is the price?” naturally arises. Chances are, you have limited knowledge about termites and may have never enlisted the services of a pest control company that specializes in termite treatment.
However, when choosing a company for your termite inspection, it’s crucial to make an informed decision. Unfortunately, within our industry, there exists a significant variance in quality, expertise, and approach.
Average Cost of a White Ant Inspection in Brisbane:
The average price for a termite inspection in Brisbane typically amounts to $330 (for an average-sized house). This fee should encompass the following services:
- Utilization of specialized tools such as thermal cameras, moisture meters, and termatrac motion detection devices.
- Thorough inspection of the property, including the fenceline, garden, house perimeter, subfloor, internal exposed timbers, and roof void.
- Completion of a digital report on the same day, along with a proposed treatment plan.

Consumer Advisory regarding Termite Inspections
- Beware of Unlicensed Companies:
Numerous pest control companies may create deceptive websites to appear local while operating their call centers from another city. Such entities may lack the necessary licenses in Queensland. It’s imperative to ensure that the company you choose holds a valid QBCC license. Without this license, they cannot secure insurance and should not advertise termite inspection and treatment services.
- Free Inspection Offers from Unlicensed Companies:
Some companies may offer a “free termite check” and subsequently promote questionable, overpriced wooden box baiting systems. These firms may not possess the required licenses or qualifications. Often, customers are asked to sign waivers acknowledging that they are receiving a ‘check’ rather than an inspection adhering to Australian Standards.
