What is a professional termite inspection?
Australian Standards, State Governments and building authorities recommend that all structures have an inspection carried out at least once a year, but more often in areas of high termite activity. A professional termite inspection is a comprehensive inspection of your buildings and property and is carried out according to Australian Standards AS 3660.2-2017. This is not the same as the free “termite checks” offered by some companies, which regularly miss termite activity as they are not a comprehensive termite inspection. An inspection carried out to Australian Standards can take up to 2 hours depending on the size of the property.

Comprehensive 20+ page report with photographs and recommendations
* Please note: Updated Electrical Safety Regulations which come into effect from 1st January 2025, require AllPro Pest Control to turn off all power before accessing the roof void. AllPro Pest Control will not be held liable for any loss or damage that may occur from this. Additionally if no access to the roof void is made limitations to any warranty provided will apply.
A termite inspection is like a “health check” on your property, not only checking to see whether termites are attacking your property or are present in your yard, but also identifying issues around the property that need to be remedied to make it less attractive to termites. But like a health check, they are only current at the time the inspection is carried out. In theory, termites could move into your house shortly after an inspection, unless a termite management systems is installed. Check out our termite treatments page to learn more about termite protection for your property.

Pest Inspections Brisbane
(Pre-purchase timber pest inspections)
If you are buying a property, a pre-purchase timber pest inspection is a vital part of the purchase decision – it will provide information on whether there are active termites, borers and wood rot in the property, whether there is any existing damage and whether the property is susceptible to attack.
Pre-purchase inspections are carried out according to Australian Standards AS 4349.3-2010. We do not work for real estate companies so you can be assured we are working in your best interest. We welcome you to be on site during the inspection so we can highlight and discuss any issues that may occur. This can be very important, as a pre-purchase inspection is only a visual inspection – we are not allowed to move items, damage or drill walls. Sometimes sellers try to hide activity and if we are suspicious, we will point it out to you.
Also check out our blog asking, should you buy house with termite damage?
What's the difference between a termite and pre-purchase pest inspection?
There are two types of pest inspections that property owners may require:
- Standard termite inspection: An inspection focused solely on identifying termite activity, termite damage and termite conducive conditions for property owners
- Pre-purchase timber pest inspection: An inspection requested by potential purchasers of a property to check for timber pest activity and damage; covers termites, borers and wood rot.
AllPro Pest Control are fully qualified and insured to carry out both types of termite inspections. Be wary of companies who offer a free termite check.

World class inspection equipment
One of our key inspection tools is the Termatrac T3i. It compliments our skills as termite inspectors and provides us (and you, as our customers) with the confidence that we have done everything to check your property. How the Termatrac helps…
- Motion detector: Can pick up the movement of termites behind walls
- Thermal measurements: Can pick up small differences in the wall temperatures which may indicate termite activity inside the wall cavity
- Moisture measurement: Useful for picking up areas of moisture which may indicate a water leak or area of termite activity.
What are the signs of termites?
Although regular inspections are a must it certainly helps if homeowners know the signs of termite activity so they can give their pest manager a call if they spot something suspicious.
FAQs
How much is a termite inspection?
The cost of a termite inspection will depend on the length of time the inspection will take (depends on the size and construction of the building and the area of land to inspect), as well as the experience of the termite inspector (a high quality termite inspector will generally charge more).
Termite inspections in Brisbane will generally range between $300-600.
How long does a termite inspection take?
The time taken to carry out an inspection will depend on the size of the building (number of rooms), the construction type (does it have a roof void and sub-floor) and the size of the property. The more areas to inspect, the longer an inspection will take.
For a typical 4 bedroom house on a concrete slab it will take a minimum of 1.5 hours for an inspection.
Of course if the inspection should find something suspicious, it may take a lot longer.
How often should you get a termite inspection?
The pest industry Code of Best Practice for Subterranean Termite Management, Australian Standards and building authorites all recommend that homeowners should get a professional termite inspection at least annually but more frequently in high termite pressure area.
Brisbane is a high pressure termite area, so unless you also have a termite protection (termite treatment) in place, you should probably get an inspection every 6 months.
