Termite Treatment Melbourne | 24/7 Service
Kill the colony first, then protect the building. Dusting and foaming of live workings, full chemical barriers and an 8-year warranty in writing. From $1,500.
What You Actually Get
There is an order to this that matters. Live termites get dealt with before any protection goes in, because a barrier installed around an active colony just pushes it somewhere else on the property. We treat the workings directly with a slow-acting dust or foam so the workers carry it home and groom it through the colony before anything appears wrong to them.
Once the colony is down, protection goes in: a full perimeter chemical barrier using a non-repellent termiticide, trenched around the foundations and rod-injected through concrete where required. Non-repellent matters – termites work through treated soil without detecting it, pick up a dose and take it back, which is what turns a barrier into colony control rather than a fence they can find a gap in.
Live colony treatment
Slow-acting dust or foam applied straight into the workings so it is distributed through the colony by grooming.
Chemical barrier
Full perimeter trenching and rod injection with a non-repellent termiticide, plus a written record of exactly what went in and where.
What it will not be
No surface spraying of what you can see, and no patching over damage and calling it fixed.
Warranty
8 years on the installed barrier, maintained by annual inspection.

- Non-repellent termiticide – colony carries it home
- Written installation record for your file
- 8-year product warranty in writing

Baiting System
In-ground stations where the nest cannot be found
- Stations installed around the full perimeter

Prices include GST and cover a standard single-storey Melbourne home. What moves the number: perimeter length, slab versus stumps, access under the house, how far the damage has already gone, and whether concrete has to be drilled. Annual protection plans from $250. Nothing proceeds without your written approval.
From Your Call To Your Warranty
The order matters. Protection installed before the live colony is dealt with just pushes the termites somewhere else on the property.
Tell Us What You Have Seen
Describe it as plainly as you can – where it is, what it looks like, how long it has been there. We can often tell you over the phone whether it is termites, ants or old damage, and how fast you need us.
Full Property Inspection
Interior, roof void, subfloor, perimeter, fences and garden timbers, using thermal imaging, Termatrac radar, moisture meters and sounding. We collect soldiers so the species is identified properly.
Written Report And Clear Quote
You get the photographed report and a clear quote, with the options explained plainly — including where doing nothing is a reasonable choice.
Kill The Colony First
Live workings are dusted or foamed so the workers carry the product back and groom it through the colony. No spraying, no disturbing the runs.
Install The Protection
Once the colony is down, a full chemical barrier or a baiting system goes in, and you receive a written record of exactly what was installed and where.
Come Back And Check
Termites are not a one-visit problem. We re-inspect, replenish stations and keep your warranty valid — annual inspection is standard industry guidance.

Warranty covers the treated barrier and applies while annual inspections are maintained. Price-beat applies to written quotes from licensed Victorian operators for equivalent scope.Questions About Termite Treatment

How much does termite treatment cost in Melbourne?
A full perimeter chemical barrier runs from $1,500 to about $3,500 depending on perimeter length, slab versus stumps, and how much concrete has to be drilled. You get a clear written quote before anything starts, and we beat any written like-for-like quote by 5%.
How long before the colony dies?
Dusting and foaming usually knock a colony down over a few weeks – deliberately slow, because a fast-acting product would kill the workers before they had shared it around. We re-inspect to confirm rather than assuming.
Do I have to move out?
No. The products are applied to soil, workings and cavities rather than living space, and we will tell you which areas to keep children and pets away from and for how long.
Why not just spray what I can see?
Because it treats the symptom. Spraying kills the visible workers and prompts the colony to seal off that area and feed elsewhere in the building, often somewhere you cannot see, while the nest itself is untouched.
What about the damaged timber?
Treatment stops the termites; it does not repair the timber. The report sets out what is structurally significant and what is cosmetic, so you can get repairs quoted properly instead of guessing.
Termite Inspections Across Melbourne
We cover metropolitan Melbourne and the outer suburbs. The eastern and north-eastern foothills — Eltham, Warrandyte, Diamond Creek, Lilydale — carry higher risk because of the surrounding eucalypt bushland and the Porotermes activity through those dry foothills. If your suburb is not listed, call anyway.
