Why Sydney & Brisbane Have Australia's Highest Termite Risks
Australia's subtropical climate — warm temperatures year-round and high humidity — creates ideal conditions for termite activity in both Sydney and Brisbane. Subterranean termites (Coptotermes acinaciformis) are responsible for more structural damage to Australian homes than fires, storms, and floods combined. In Sydney and Brisbane, an undetected colony can cause $50,000–$200,000 in structural damage before homeowners notice any visible signs.
What an AS 3660.2-Compliant Inspection Covers
Visual Inspection: Our technicians inspect all accessible areas of the structure including subfloor, roof void, internal rooms, and external perimeter for evidence of termite activity, workings, and conducive conditions.
Moisture Mapping: Termites are attracted to moisture. We use calibrated moisture meters to identify high-risk zones such as leaking pipes, poor drainage, and condensation points.
Thermal Imaging: Thermal cameras detect heat signatures consistent with termite activity inside walls — without drilling or destructive investigation.
Written Report: Every inspection concludes with a detailed written report compliant with AS 3660.2, suitable for property purchase due diligence or insurance purposes.
Prevention: Chemical Barriers and Physical Barriers
Post-inspection, we can install approved chemical soil barriers (Termidor) or physical barriers (Kordon) around the perimeter and sub-floor of your home. Chemical barriers are effective for 8–10 years when properly maintained. Learn about our termite treatment options or book an inspection today.
