Professional Termite Treatment in Perth
Termites cause over $1.5 billion in property damage across Australia every year – and Perth homeowners are at particularly high risk. Western Australia is home to aggressive subterranean species including Coptotermes acinaciformis and Schedorhinotermes intermedius, which can eat through a home’s structural timber in as little as three months without any visible warning.
Unlike ants, termites don’t just invade your kitchen – they silently destroy the structural integrity of your home from the inside out. By the time most homeowners notice the damage, repair costs can run into the tens of thousands. A professional termite inspection is the only reliable way to catch an infestation early.
Rockypest has been protecting Perth homes from termites for over two decades. We’re fully licensed, comply with Australian Standard AS 3660.2-2000, and service all areas from Mandurah and Rockingham to Fremantle, Baldivis, Kwinana and across the metropolitan area.

Termite Treatment Options in Perth
The treatment depends on the size and nature of the infestation. The longer the pest problem continues, the higher the cost of termite treatment to you. We recommend getting us in as soon as you feel you have a problem.
We also offer an affordable annual check so that you can nip infestations in the bud.
Treatment solutions fall into one of two primary categories:
- Creating a chemical barrier to protect the building
- Baiting to eradicate the colony
Chemical Barriers
Chemical barriers can be highly effective if you don’t have a problem already. This technique works on a prevention-is-better-than-cure strategy. It’s effective but has limitations.
If, for example, you’ve already got termites, all you’re doing is trapping them in the home.
Another concern is that the chemical barrier can’t cover all routes of ingress. A shrub planted too near the house could provide the insects with an entry point, for example.
Chemical barriers are highly effective when used in conjunction with baiting.
Baiting
This technique requires a little more effort. The technician comes in and determines where the main colonies are. They’ll then install a bait box at a convenient location for the termites. About once a month or so, they’ll come back to check the traps and add more bait.
The bait draws the colony out of hiding and gives them something else to eat. The termites are then easily removed. It takes around about three months, but it’s a permanent solution.

Not sure which option suits your home?
Option 1: Repellent Chemical Barrier
Rockypest will install a protective zone using a Repellent Chemical (bifenthrin active ingredient) around the exterior of your Home in accordance with AS 3660.2-2000 and the chemical manufacturer’s label.
This would involve either trenching to a depth of 80mm below the top of the footing or drilling 10mm holes at distances no greater than 200mm apart in concrete, brick or tiled areas and injecting emulsion into these holes.
The protective zone, if undisturbed and continuous, will provide eight (5) years of protection according to the product manufacturer’s label.
We can not give prices without seeing the property in person. Call the office to arrange a time.
Comes with 12 Months free Service Period with option to renew every 12 months with an annual Termite Inspection up to 5 years (Must be carried out by Rockypest Pty Ltd)
Option 2: Non-Repellent Chemical Barrier
Rockypest will install a protective zone using a Non-Repellent Chemical (fipronil active ingredient) around the exterior of your Home in accordance with AS 3660.2-2000 and the chemical manufacturer’s label.
This would involve either trenching to a depth of 80mm below the top of the footing or drilling 10mm holes at distances no greater than 200mm apart in concrete, brick or tiled areas and injecting emulsion into these holes.
The protective zone, if undisturbed and continuous, will provide eight (8) years of protection according to the product manufacturer’s label.
We can not give prices without seeing the property in person, call the office to arrange a time.
Comes with 12 Months free Service Period with option to renew every 12 months with an annual Termite Inspection up to 8 years (Must be carried out by Rockypest Pty Ltd)
Option 3: Non-chemical Termite Interception and Monitoring System
Rockypest will install a Termite Interception and Monitoring System around the perimeter of your home and within your garden. Approximately 25 monitoring stations will need to be installed.
Some stations will be required to be installed beneath paved areas out of sight. To do this, we may need to drill lifting holes within one paving brick every 3 metres or core holes within the pavers. Additionally, should we have to core holes within concrete path or driveway areas.
These monitoring stations would be inspected every six – eight weeks at a mutually agreeable time for termite activity during the first year. Subsequent years would have inspections carried out on a quarterly basis. On discovery of any termite activity we’ll treat the activity within the stations free of charge.
The investment required for this termite management system as stated in this option for the first twelve months. This includes placement of all monitoring stations including above ground stations placed directly over where termite activity is and all required bait.
We can not give prices without seeing the property in person, call the office to arrange a time.
Warning Signs of Termites in Your Perth Home
Perth’s warm, humid climate makes it one of Australia’s highest-risk areas for termite activity — particularly subterranean species like Coptotermes acinaciformis, the most destructive termite in WA. Here are the key signs to look for:
🪵
Hollow-sounding timber
Tap wooden door frames, skirting boards or flooring — a dull thud instead of a solid knock is a red flag.
🪜
Mud tubes on walls
Subterranean termites build pencil-wide mud shelter tubes along foundations, walls and pipes to travel undetected.
🚪
Stiff Doors & Windows
Termite damage causes timber to swell. Doors and windows that suddenly become hard to open can be an early sign.
🐜
Discarded Wings
Flying termites (alates) shed their wings after swarming. Finding small piles of wings near light sources or window sills is a warning sign.
🔌
Earthy Deposits Near Power Points
Mud deposits around power points and light switches are a tell-tale sign of termite activity inside your walls.
🖌️
Blistering or Peeling Paint
Paint that looks water-damaged but there’s been no leak? Termites produce moisture as they work, which causes paint to bubble and crack.
Perth Tip: Termite swarms in Perth most commonly occur in spring (September–November) when temperatures rise. If you see flying insects indoors during this period, call us immediately — swarming indicates an established nearby colony.
