What Goes into Termite Treatment Costs?

It’s important to understand these, so you can have more clarity going into the service.

  • Property Size: If your home or office is larger than average, this will increase the cost of the treatment. This is because more labour, materials and treatments are used.
  • Accessibility: Hard to reach areas need extra time or equipment. The more these occur can correlate to a higher termite protection cost.
  • Type of Treatment: Depending on the treatment type, the costs may vary. Treatments such as physical barriers and bait systems are typically more costly.
  • The Level of the Infestation: Infestations that are worse often require more tools and resources. This can make it more expensive to resolve.

DIY VS Professional Termite Control

We understand that DIY termite control can seem appealing. From cheaper upfront costs, to not having to find the right pest controller. For long term property safety, professional work is highly recommended. This is because termites aren’t regular pests, and are heavily destructive in nature.

An unlicensed person might not be able to pinpoint the species, or scale of the infestation. This is key when it comes to providing the right solution. In the case that the treatment is effective, there’s a risk of it being a “Band Aid solution.” Which means that termites can return after a short while.

If the infestation is left unresolved, it can mean serious termite damage. This in turn results in the infestation being more costly in the long term. Some consequences of these include inflicting structural damage, and causing health hazards.
