Perth Termite Protection and Control
Perth doesn’t just draw politicians to our nation’s capital. The bush and gardens surrounding the city also attract termites. Termites can cause extensive structural damage to buildings throughout Perth, with up to 1 in 3 properties in Australia at risk of potential termite attack. Even new constructions need to take proactive measures against termites. That’s why it’s essential to install a termite treatment management system before your next building project or renovation in Perth and the surrounding suburbs.
Whether it’s for your existing property or for a renovation or new construction, call (08) 6500 6284 to speak to an expert and schedule a termite inspection or the installation of a termite management system.
Why Termites Are So Destructive in Homes Around Perth
There are 30 species of termites in the Perth area, but only some cause damage to homes in Perth. Coptotermes and Nasutitermes are the two types of termites that inflict the most harm to houses in Perth. These subterranean termites require access to soil for their nest. From the soil, they tunnel into wooden beams in homes, weakening the support and overall structure.
Timber may sound hollow when tapped, floors can sag, and you might notice paint or plaster chipping off the walls. Skirting boards or window frames may become easily damaged. While the exterior of the timber may appear fine, the inside may be weakened due to termites tunneling through the wood.

Expert Termite Treatment Perth – Protecting Your Property Investment
Perth’s climate creates ideal conditions for termite activity year-round, putting your property at constant risk. Termites cause millions of dollars in structural damage across Perth annually, often undetected until significant destruction has occurred. Flick’s Termite control team specialises in comprehensive termite inspections, termite treatments and prevention designed specifically for Perth properties.
Install a Termite Management System Before Building or Renovating in Perth
New construction projects in Perth are now integrating termite controls to safeguard against future infestations. Termite management systems deter termites from attacking your building through physical and/or chemical barriers.
Flickguard is a flexible physical termite system saturated with deltamethrin, laminated top and bottom with a rugged plastic membrane to prevent treatment from escaping into the environment.
The Kordon Termite System by Bayer blocks termite access through the soil using a physical and chemical barrier. Homeguard is another all-in-one physical and chemical system installed in the foundations of new buildings or extensions, providing continuous protection against termites.
Flick can advise you on the best treatment plan for your specific build, location, and budget. Termites don’t only target older homes in Perth; it’s wise to incorporate pest management systems into new homes for added peace of mind.

Common Questions in Perth Termite Treatment
How much does termite treatment cost in Perth?
Termite treatment costs in Perth vary based on property size, infestation severity, treatment method and accessibility. There are various termite treatment options from an initial termite inspection to chemical termite barriers, Termite baiting systems, and a combination.
Flick Pest offers transparent, upfront quotes with no hidden fees. Our Perth team provides free termite assessments to determine the most cost-effective treatment for your specific situation. Remember, termite prevention is significantly cheaper than repairing structural damage, which can cost thousands of dollars.
Home Protection Plans include annual termite inspections, spreading costs across affordable monthly payments while ensuring year-round pest protection.
Can I prevent termites from returning after treatment?
Yes! Preventing termite re-infestation requires ongoing vigilance and professional monitoring. Here’s how to keep termites away after treatment:
- Book an annual termite inspection to detect early warning signs before colonies re-establish. Flick’s Gold Home Protection Plan includes comprehensive yearly termite inspections by qualified technicians.
- Termites need moisture to survive. Fix leaking taps, improve drainage around foundations, repair roof leaks and ensure adequate ventilation in subfloor areas. Perth’s winter rains create ideal termite conditions if moisture accumulates near your home.
- Remove Timber-to-Ground Contact, eliminate timber garden edges, firewood storage against walls, tree stumps and buried timber near your property. Store firewood elevated and away from buildings.
- Chemical barriers degrade over time, especially in Perth’s sandy soils. Schedule re-treatments to maintain protection zones.
- Install Physical Barriers during renovations, consider stainless steel mesh or granite barriers that provide permanent termite protection for new construction and extensions.
What are the signs of a termite infestation in Perth homes?
Early termite detection prevents costly structural damage. Watch for these warning signs:
Visible Termite Damage:
- Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
- Bubbling or damaged paint that looks water-damaged
- Crumbling or damaged wood around door frames, skirting boards and window frames
- Sagging floors, doors or ceilings
- Visible mud tubes (pencil-width tunnels) on walls, foundations or timber
Termite Activity Indicators:
- Discarded termite wings near windowsills or doors (indicating swarming reproductive termites)
- Small holes in plasterboard with brown residue
- Tight-fitting doors and windows (caused by moisture from termite activity)
- Clicking sounds from walls (soldier termites banging heads to signal danger)
- Frass (termite droppings) that resembles sawdust or coffee grounds
Environmental Conditions:
- Increased moisture around your property
- Wood-to-ground contact areas
- Nearby tree stumps or dead timber
- Poor drainage causing water pooling near foundations
What are the most common termites in Perth?
Subterranean termites are most common in Perth and often go undetected until significant damage occurs. Coastal properties face higher termite pressure due to sandy soils and moisture. Never disturb termites if you find them this causes colonies to relocate, making treatment harder.
If you notice any signs, contact Flick immediately for a professional termite inspection. Our thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters detect hidden infestations before visible damage appears.
How to get rid of termites in Perth properties?
Effective termite elimination requires professional treatment. DIY methods don’t reach entire colonies and can make infestations worse by causing termites to relocate. Here’s Flick’s proven termite eradication process:
- Step 1: Professional Termite Inspection Our licensed Perth technicians conduct comprehensive termite inspection using thermal imaging, moisture meters and visual inspections to locate active termites, identify species and determine infestation extent.
- Step 2: Customised Treatment Plan Based on inspection findings, we recommend the most effective treatment – Chemical Termicide Treatment, Termite Baiting System, Dust and Foam applications.
- Step 3: Colony Elimination Treatments target termite colonies at their source, not just visible workers. This ensures complete eradication and prevents re-infestation from surviving termites.
- Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring After treatment, regular inspections verify termites are eliminated and barriers remain effective. Our monitoring programs detect any new termite activity before damage occurs.
- Step 5: Prevention and Maintenance Book an annual termite inspection to ensure you stay ahead of any new or reinfestations.
Does home insurance cover termite damage in Australia?
Unfortunately, standard home and contents insurance policies in Australia do not cover termite damage or termite treatment costs. Insurance companies classify termite damage as preventable through regular maintenance and inspections, similar to general wear and tear making it your responsibility as the property owner.
