Our Altona termite inspections will reveal even hidden termite activity. Our trained professionals are armed with moisture meters and thermal cameras to inspect every nook and cranny of your property to spot the warning signs and access points.
All our termite inspections are in accordance with Australian Standards so you can be sure every report is correct, thorough and insightful for long-term protection of your home.
As every home and infestation is different, our Altona termite treatment solutions are completely tailored. We assess the building construction, site conditions and the extent of the termite activity to determine the most suitable method of control.
Treatment methods may vary from chemical soil treatments for preventative purposes, to termite baiting to kill active colonies, or direct termite dusting of active nests. By using a range of tried and tested techniques along with our customised expertise, we guarantee your termite treatment will be effective and long-lasting.
Termite protection is not a one-off job, it is an ongoing process to ensure your Altona home remains termite-free. Our local Altona termite protection specialists will offer year-round protection, with regular inspections and customised maintenance plans that suit Altona’s unique conditions.
We also provide state-of-the-art termite monitors to spot the very first signs of termites, and can advise you on how often your property should be inspected depending on construction and risk factors.

Altona’s bayside location in Melbourne’s west creates the perfect storm for termite activity. With the suburb bordered by Port Phillip Bay, Cherry Lake, and the Cheetham Wetlands, Altona homes are exposed to consistently high moisture levels and humid coastal conditions that termites thrive in.
Many properties across Altona, Altona North, and Altona Meadows are weatherboard or timber-framed post-war builds, offering termites an abundant food source, while newer developments in the area are equally vulnerable due to landscaped gardens, retained timber fences, and subfloor moisture. Victoria’s classification of the region as a moderate-to-high termite risk zone means even a small, undetected infestation can cause tens of thousands of dollars in structural damage before any visible signs appear.
Regular termite inspections and professional termite protection are essential for Altona homeowners who want to safeguard their property, maintain their home’s value, and avoid costly repairs down the track.

Due to Altona’s clay soils and older weatherboard construction, we usually find that the best termite treatments involve both a chemical soil barrier and baiting systems. This creates a double line of defence against the underground termites common in Altona and allows colonies to be managed effectively. Our team will always tailor the treatment system to your property type and construction style.
The cost of termite damage in Altona can range from the hundreds to the tens of thousands. Ignoring a small infestation can quickly lead to thousands of dollars in structural damage. Heavy infestations in subfloors or roof voids can total $10,000–$20,000 in repairs or more. Prevention and early detection are always cheaper than the alternative.
