How much does pest control cost in Kew?
A general internal treatment for a Kew house starts from $189 including GST. The price depends on the size of the home, number of storeys, access to the roof void and sub-floor, and the pests involved — your quote confirms the total before any work starts.
How often should Kew homes have a termite inspection?
Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends a timber pest inspection at least every 12 months, and termites are one of the most common concerns for Kew homes. An inspection covers the interior, roof void, sub-floor and garden, and you get a written report with photos.
