Termite Inspection Sydney
Our licensed technician conducts a thorough visual inspection of interior and exterior areas, subfloor spaces, roof voids, accessible timber, checks for mud tubes and termite activity, uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden infestations, inspects gardens and boundaries, and provides a detailed written report with photographs and treatment recommendations.
A termite inspection tells you one thing: whether termites are in your property right now, and where the conditions are inviting them in. It is a separate job from treatment and separate again from installing a barrier. This page is about the inspection itself, what it covers, what the report gives you and what it costs.
What Does a Termite Inspection Actually Cover?
A full inspection covers every accessible part of the property, not just the rooms you are worried about. That means the interior, the subfloor, the roof void and the entire exterior perimeter.
Inside, the technician works through wall linings, skirting boards, architraves, door and window frames and wet areas, because those are where timber and moisture meet. Outside, the perimeter matters as much as the house: fences, retaining timbers, garden beds against the slab edge, tree stumps and outbuildings are all common entry points.
The subfloor and roof void are the two areas homeowners never see and the two where activity most often goes unnoticed until damage is done.
What Equipment Is Used?
Thermal imaging and moisture detection cameras are used alongside the visual inspection.
That matters because termites work inside timber. A wall that looks perfect can be hollow behind the paint. Thermal imaging picks up the temperature difference an active nest or a moisture pocket creates behind a surface, and a moisture meter confirms whether the wall is holding water it should not be.
Neither tool replaces the technician. They narrow down where to look closely, and they let the inspection reach places a visual check alone cannot.
What Do You Get at the End?
A detailed written report, plus a complete invoice.
The report records what was inspected, what was found, which areas could not be accessed and why, and what the recommendation is. That last part matters more than people expect. An inspection that finds nothing is not a wasted inspection; it is a documented baseline, and it tells you which conditions around the property need changing before they become a problem.
If activity is found, the report is what a treatment plan gets built from.

Our 4-Step Termite Control Process
We follow set methods when tackling difficult to eradicate pests.
After Treatment
Following your termite treatment, it’s important to allow time for the product to work effectively across the colony.
You may not see immediate results above the surface this is normal. We’ll guide you on what to expect in the coming weeks, and if bait stations or barriers have been installed, we’ll schedule follow-up inspections to monitor progress and ensure full colony elimination.
1
Comprehensive Inspection
We begin with a full property inspection using four advanced detection methods to ensure nothing is missed:
Visual assessment for signs of termite activity or damage
Audible testing using a donga tool to check timber for hollow spots
Thermal and moisture imaging to detect hidden termite presence within walls
Termatrac radar technology to pinpoint live movement without invasive drilling
This approach gives us a detailed, non-invasive picture of what’s happening behind walls, floors and structural timber.
2
Targeted Termite Treatment
If termite activity is detected, we provide immediate on-site advice and a clear quote for treatment. We typically begin with professional termite baiting to stop the colony. As a Termidor accredited provider, we use Australia’s most trusted solution for long-term termite elimination, backed by an optional warranty. If an existing termite system is installed, we’ll inspect, refill or recommend upgrades as needed.
3
Installing Termite Barriers
If your property lacks a termite protection system, we’ll work with you to design a custom barrier solution tailored to your home. We install Termidor® soil barriers for long-term protection against subterranean termite intrusion. As certified Termidor technicians, we guarantee the system is applied to manufacturer standards and eligible for the Termidor Assurance Warranty.

Annual Termite Inspections
Termites don’t stop and neither should your protection. An annual inspection is critical to detect early activity, confirm barrier performance, and protect your investment. These yearly checks provide insight into what’s happening beneath your floors, behind your walls and around your property.
Book your next termite inspection with So Pest Off to stay protected year-round.
How Often Should an Inspection Be Done?
Annually is the general expectation for a Sydney property, and more often where a property has had activity before or sits on a block with heavy timber and moisture around it.
If your home has a termite management system installed, the system itself has maintenance requirements, and an inspection is how you confirm it is still doing its job.
What It Costs
See our pricing page for what we charge for a full termite inspection, including the thermal imaging and moisture detection work and the written report.
Where an inspection leads to a termite treatment quote and that quote is accepted, the inspection fee is waived.

Areas That Could Not Be Accessed
Every honest report names them. A subfloor with no access hatch, a roof void packed with stored boxes, or a section of perimeter behind a locked neighbouring gate all limit what can be inspected. Knowing where the blind spots are is part of the result.
