Pricing guide
Costs vary depending on whether you only need a visual inspection, a standard perimeter treatment, or an extensive structural response. Callout fees, technician hours and materials such as chemicals or bait stations typically influence price, while restricted access, timber repairs and after-hours attendance usually increase the final cost.
Service profile required
Inspection-only visits are primarily diagnostic with minimal materials, while perimeter or structural treatments add labour, chemicals and consumables.
Infestation extent and timber damage
Active or widespread infestation and visible timber damage usually require more invasive work and a broader scope of treatment.
Subfloor and roof access
Restricted or difficult access to subfloor or roof voids can add time or require additional measures, increasing the job scope.
Labour hours and callout fee
Total cost is influenced by technician hours on site and the callout fee applied before treatment time is charged.
Materials and remediation needed
Use of chemicals, bait stations and any allowances for timber remediation or coordination with builders will typically increase complexity and cost.
