Understanding Termite Treatment Costs

A termite problem can be hard to navigate, especially when you try to factor in all the costs! It's key to note that a treatment is a long-term investment. This means that these are designed to keep your space pest-free for longer.

At Knockdown Pest Control, we've provided a simple to read guide for you. This is so you'll feel confident knowing what to expect when you book a service. From understanding the active termite treatment to termite prevention costs, which in turn makes sure that you act fast to protect your space!

The last thing you need during a termite infestation is to worry about costs. See how we've broken this down below:

What Goes into Termite Treatment Costs?

Before trying to predict the end cost of a termite treatment, there are some factors to consider. These are all determined by your chosen pest controller before providing an accurate quote. It's important to understand these so you can have more clarity going into the service.

See what influences the termite treatment cost:

• Property Size: If your home or office is larger than average, this will increase the cost of the treatment. This is because more labour, materials, and treatments are used.
• Accessibility: Hard-to-reach areas need extra time or equipment. The more these occur can correlate to a higher termite protection cost.
• Type of Treatment: Depending on the treatment type, the costs may vary. Treatments such as physical barriers and bait systems are typically more costly.
• The Level of the Infestation: Infestations that are worse often require more tools and resources. This can make it more expensive to resolve.

Understanding Termite Treatment Costs

Now that we've understood what goes into the costs, we can look into more specific price ranges. On the day of service, the pest controller will give you tailored advice on the next steps to take. This then allows you to understand the right treatment and anticipate the costs associated while also allowing you to consider the treatment best suited for you.

At Knockdown Pest Control, our team has broken this down for you. See the pricing run-down for treating termites:

Termite Inspection Costs

Before any treatment begins, an inspection of your home or office is needed. This allows the expert to understand the nature of the infestation, from the specific termite species to how bad the infestation is and the right treatment plan. This in turn means that the professional can evaluate the right steps to take.

On average, you'll find that the prices range from $250 to $350.

Active Termite Treatment Costs

If active termite activity is found, then our pest controllers will provide immediate options. On average, the treatments for this range from $1,200 to $3,500. This includes both the first visit made to your property, alongside the follow-ups to make sure that the pest is gone. Your chosen pest controller will take a more hands-on approach, which then leaves your space termite-free.

Termite Barrier Treatment Cost

For long-term preventative maintenance, this system is chosen. It's implemented to ensure that your space is protected from future invasions. On average, it lasts a couple of years; however, yearly inspections are needed to ensure its long-term functionality. For this treatment, the costs can also vary based on the type of system installed. You'll find that the termite barrier cost ranges anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000.

*Our hot tip: when you first receive the quote, ask for a price rundown. This can help you better understand the factors influencing your quote, which in turn can safeguard your peace of mind.

DIY VS Professional Termite Control

We understand that DIY termite control can seem appealing, from cheaper upfront costs to not having to find the right pest controller. For long-term property safety, professional work is highly recommended. This is because termites aren’t regular pests and are heavily destructive in nature.

An unlicensed person might not be able to pinpoint the species or scale of the infestation. This is key when it comes to providing the right solution. In the case that the treatment is effective, there's a risk of it being a "Band-Aid solution," which means that termites can return after a short while.

If the infestation is left unresolved, it can mean serious termite damage. This in turn results in the infestation being more costly in the long term. Some consequences of these include inflicting structural damage and causing health hazards.

Answering your Termite Concerns

Is a termite barrier worth it?

The right preventative maintenance ensures your property is well protected, providing long-term protection against termites, which in turn makes the cost of a termite barrier worthwhile.

How long does it take for termites to destroy a house in Australia?

This pest's destructive nature can eradicate a home within 12 months. This makes professional pest control the right investment as soon as you notice signs of termite damage, in comparison to paying for costly damage to the home's foundation.

Is it possible for termites to go away on their own?

It's highly unlikely that termites will go away on their own. These pests are very persistent and invasive in nature, which is why it's crucial that a pest controller is contacted ASAP.
