What are termites?
Adelaide is home to subterranean termites which are some of the most destructive in the world. These small ant-like insects feed on wood and plant matter, which makes houses and other buildings an attractive home and feeding site for them to build their colony.
When winged termites are old enough to start their own colony, they will find a suitable feeding source. Quite often this is a building, and they will gain access to its interior, roof void or subfloor, where they will feed on timber and grow their colony, sometimes to 2 million in the space of a year.
Why inspect your home for termites?
Termites are very discrete insects – quietly feeding away on the insides of your walls while you are none the wiser. While you may eventually be able to spot visible signs of termites, by this stage they would have caused extensive damage to your home and even compromised its structure.
Given how common termite infestations are, the CSIRO recommends you get an Adelaide termite inspection at least every 12 months.

What does an Allstate termite inspection involve?
Allstate’s highly trained termite inspectors use a range of tools and techniques to detect any termites within your home or property. We use a range of tools including:
- Sounding tools to test the integrity of the wood.
- Moisture readings to find any areas of excess moisture (a good indicator of a possible infestation so that we can dig deeper).
- Movement detectors to check for termite activity.
- Borescopes to take pictures of active termites in timber.
We also visually inspect for signs such as ingress points and mud tubes.
At the inspection’s completion your termite inspector will give you a detailed report with all their findings.

What if termites are detected?
If your inspector discovers termites, they will assess your property for treatment options and put together a proposal free of charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book an inspection?
What areas of the building and property do you inspect?
- Interior – each room is checked top to bottom using a moisture metre, sounding tool and screwdriver.
- Roof void – where we can access the roof void we will check over all the timbers with a sounding tool.
- Subfloor – if you have a void under your floor known as a subfloor we highly recommend inspecting this space, as this is where most termite attacks begin. We gain access by cutting traps in the floor or detecting termite entry with our Borescope.
- Exterior – we use a sounding tool to inspect the full perimeter of the house.
- Outbuildings – we inspect the interior and exterior of every outbuilding.
- Grounds – we inspect your grounds for signs of termites, particularly landscaping timbers, gardens beds, trees, stumps and the fence line.
