What is involved
Termites cause structural damage long before anything is visible from the living room, and there are clear warning signs worth checking for during termite season. A thorough inspection covers the interior, roof void, subfloor, perimeter and garden, looking for active termites, past damage and the conditions that attract them in the first place. You receive a written report with what we found and what we recommend. In Melbourne’s west, see what a termite inspection in Werribee, Point Cook or Tarneit covers and what it costs. If we find activity, the next step is termite treatment and protection.
- Interior inspection of accessible rooms and timbers
- Roof void and subfloor inspection where accessible
- External perimeter, fences, stumps and trees
- Moisture and conducive condition assessment

Questions we get asked
How much does a termite inspection cost in Melbourne?
A termite inspection with 4S Pest Control starts from $299. The price depends on the size of the property, whether there is a subfloor to inspect, and whether thermal imaging is added.
We confirm the price before we book, not after the technician arrives.
What does a termite inspection check?
The interior, roof void, subfloor, perimeter and slab edge, and garden timber including fences, sleepers and pergolas. You receive a written report covering each area.
An inspection that skips the roof void or subfloor is a smaller job with the same name, so ask any inspector whether both are included.
What are the first signs of termites?
Mud tubes about the width of a pencil on walls or foundations, timber that sounds hollow when tapped, and discarded wings on windowsills after a swarm.
If you find any of these, stop probing the area. Disturbing a working colony makes it move, which makes it harder to find and treat.
How often should a home be inspected for termites?
Once a year is the standard interval in a termite-prone area, and more often if there has been activity before or the property backs onto bushland or reserve.
An annual inspection is not about finding termites every year. It is about catching the year they arrive.
Is 4S Pest Control licensed?
Yes. 4S Pest Control holds Victorian pest control licence L013000 and is a member of the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association.
Pest control is a licensed trade in Victoria. The Department of Health publishes a public register of licence holders, and you are entitled to ask any technician for their licence number before work begins.
