We specialise in identifying and treating the destructive subterranean species common in Perth's southern suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Termite Inspections

Question: How often should I get a professional Termite Inspection in South Perth?

Answer: The Australian Standard (AS 3660) recommends a thorough inspection at intervals no greater than 12 months. For properties with a known history of termite activity, poor drainage, or other high-risk factors (common in older South Perth homes), we recommend a 6-monthly check.

Question: What is the difference between an inspection and a Termite Barrier?

Answer: An inspection is a diagnostic service—it confirms whether termites are present and assesses the risk. A Termite Barrier (chemical or physical) is a preventative measure, designed to stop termites from entering the structure of your building after they have been eradicated. Both are crucial for complete protection.

Question: Are your termite treatments safe for kids and pets?

Answer: Yes. We primarily use non-repellent, highly effective termiticides (like Termidor or similar industry leaders) which are applied directly into the soil or bait systems. Once applied correctly, they pose minimal risk to people and pets. We always discuss product safety and application details with you beforehand.

Question: What are 'White Ants' and are they different from Termites?

Answer: They are the same! 'White Ants' is a common colloquial term used across Australia, but the correct name is Termites. They are not related to ants; they are actually related to the cockroach family.

💡 Crucial Pre-purchase Inspection Tip:

A property purchase is likely the biggest financial investment of your lifetime. While it is always the homeowner's choice who performs the pre-purchase building and pest inspection, consider this critical fact:

Many general Building Inspectors offer the visual inspection service for Termite and Timber Pest Inspections as part of a package. However, if your inspector is not a qualified, licensed Pest Control Technician who works in the pest field daily, their experience and ability to spot subtle signs of infestation may be limited.

The Jim's Difference:

• Pest Focus: Our Jim's technicians are specialist Pest Managers first. We are on the tools daily, dealing with active termite infestations across South Perth, Como, and Manning. We know the high-risk conditions, the specific species in the 6151 postcode, and the minute indicators of termite activity that a general inspector might miss.
• Experience Matters: In our experience, a high number of termite damage insurance claims are linked to inspectors who failed to identify active termites during a pre-purchase inspection. While all inspections are strictly visual and non-invasive, a pest technician working with termites daily knows exactly what to look for and where to find it.

For the best peace of mind on your expensive investment, always choose a licensed Pest Control Professional for your pre-purchase Termite and Timber Pest Inspection.
