Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Western Australia, and they’re silently damaging homes across Perth every day. Responsible for over $1.5 billion in property damage nationally each year, these pests often go undetected until it's too late. That's why regular termite inspections are not just recommended, they're essential.
At Tritan Pest Management, we help homeowners, landlords, and businesses protect their investments with professional termite inspections that meet Australian Standards and provide peace of mind.
🐛 Why Are Termite Inspections So Important in Perth?
Perth’s warm climate and sandy soils create ideal conditions for subterranean termites, including the highly destructive Coptotermes acinaciformis species. Without early detection, termite infestations can:
Weaken timber structures and roof frames
Damage skirting boards, flooring, and walls
Compromise the value and safety of your property
Result in costly repairs not covered by standard insurance
Many infestations are only discovered during renovations or by accident—by then, damage is often extensive.
🔍 What’s Included in a Professional Termite Inspection?
At Tritan Pest Management, our licensed technicians carry out comprehensive termite inspections that include:
A full visual inspection of all accessible areas (internal and external)
Inspection of roof voids, subfloors (if accessible_, fence lines, and gardens
Identification of termite activity, damage, and risk areas
A detailed report outlining findings, risk levels, and recommendations
We follow Australian Standard AS 3660.2 and AS 4349.2, ensuring your inspection is compliant and trusted by real estate agents, buyers, and insurance assessors.
🏡 Who Needs a Termite Inspection?
Homeowners – Every 12 months (more often in high-risk areas)
Home Buyers – Pre-purchase inspections are critical before settlement
Real Estate Agents & Property Managers – End-of-lease and annual reports
Commercial & Industrial Property Owners – Preventative inspections for compliance and asset protection
📆 How Often Should Termite Inspections Be Done in Perth?
Australian Standards recommends annual termite inspections at a minimum. In high-risk areas—such as Canning Vale, Armadale, Cockburn, and Baldivis—inspections may be needed every 6 months due to soil type and moisture levels.
