Many Perth homeowners arrange a professional termite inspection every 12 months, although properties with a history of termites, nearby bushland or moisture problems may need more frequent checks. A licensed pest management professional can inspect accessible areas, look for termite activity and identify conditions that may attract them. Inspections are not a guarantee that termites will not appear, particularly where parts of a building are inaccessible. Ask the provider what the inspection includes, whether it follows relevant Australian Standards, and what treatment options and costs may apply.
