Termites, often called white ants, are among the most destructive pests in Australia. Every year, they cause millions of dollars in property damage across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs.
By the time you notice visible signs, structural damage may already be severe. Early detection and consistent protection are the best ways to avoid major repair costs.
At Pest Police Australia, we specialise in termite inspections, treatments, and prevention across Melbourne. Whether you’re protecting your family home or a commercial property, our accredited termite control experts deliver fast, effective, and reliable solutions backed by decades of experience.
Termites work quietly and often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Look for these early warning signs around your Melbourne property:
Tap skirting boards or floors; a hollow sound can mean termites have eaten from the inside out.
Some drywood termites leave behind small, dark, pellet-like droppings called frass.
Small brown tunnels made of mud or cellulose, usually along walls, foundations, or subfloors.
Flying termites (alates) shed their wings after swarming, often near windows or lights.
Termites can damage surfaces beneath the paint layer.
Moisture caused by termite activity can warp surrounding wood.
If you notice any of these signs, avoid disturbing the area. Termites relocate when threatened, which makes treatment harder. Contact our licensed Melbourne termite inspectors for a professional inspection today.
CLIENTS FEEDBACK
We start with a detailed on-site termite inspection anywhere in Melbourne.
Using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual checks, we identify active and previous termite activity in walls, floors, and roof voids.
All inspections comply with Australian Standard AS3660 and include a digital report with photos, findings, and recommendations.
Once we understand the extent of the infestation, we develop a tailored termite management plan.
This may involve:
Termite barriers: Chemical or physical perimeter treatments that block access to your property.
Baiting systems: Stations placed around your home to attract and eliminate active colonies.
Dusting and foaming treatments: Targeted solutions for accessible infestations.
After treatment, we help Melbourne property owners maintain long-term protection with scheduled inspections and barrier refills.
Our follow-up programs ensure your home or business remains protected year-round.
We will return to conduct inspections on whatever termite management system is installed.
Create a protective zone around your home or business with professional soil or slab barriers.
Continuous perimeter protection with refillable chemical lines installed underground.
