Termite Treatment Cost Calculator
The opening result is a 3 bedroom home, a chemical barrier, about a third of the perimeter in concrete, and no active termites: $3,050 to $5,050. An inspection on its own is $250 to $450. The smallest treatment, bait stations on a 1-2 bedroom home, is $1,900 to $3,450, plus bait monitoring at $500 to $1,200 a year, which is not in that total. The largest job, reticulation or an all-concrete barrier on a 5+ bedroom home with termites in the house, is $6,450 to $10,350. The total is the lines added together.

Termite Treatment Price Breakdown
A termite inspection is $250 to $450 and is included in every total. A chemical barrier is $40 to $70 per linear metre of soil, or $60 to $90 per linear metre where the barrier is drilled through concrete. Those two rates are not stacked. Bait stations are $110 to $200 each, one station per 3 linear metres. Monitoring those stations is $500 to $1,200 a year and is not in the total. A reticulation system is $60 to $90 per linear metre, including the first chemical charge. A nest in the yard is $300 to $800. Termites in the house are $800 to $1,800. The total is the lines added together.

What Affects Termite Treatment Cost?
- Home size: The sizes are 1-2 bedrooms under 120 m² (45 linear metres), 3 bedrooms at 120-200 m² (60 linear metres), 4 bedrooms at 200-300 m² (75 linear metres) and 5+ bedrooms over 300 m² (90 linear metres). Termite control is priced on that perimeter. A longer run costs more because more of the house needs protection.
- Treatment: The cost of termite treatment depends on a chemical barrier, bait stations, a reticulation system, or just an inspection. Soil is $40 to $70 per linear metre. A reticulation system is $60 to $90 per linear metre, including the first chemical charge. Bait stations are one per 3 linear metres, at $110 to $200 each.
- Concrete: The concrete choice only applies to a chemical termite barrier. Drilling and injecting through concrete is $60 to $90 per linear metre, and that is the full rate for those metres, not an extra on top of the soil rate. If nearly all of the perimeter is concrete, there is no soil line.
- Active termites: A nest in the yard adds $300 to $800. Termites in the house add $800 to $1,800. That is the termite exterminator cost for the colony, on top of the inspection and the treatment. If nothing is active, that line is left off. Bait monitoring is $500 to $1,200 a year and is not in the total.
