Termites can cause significant damage to properties if activity is not identified and managed appropriately. Apex Professional Pest Management provides termite inspections and treatment options for residential and commercial properties across Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Each inspection is focused on identifying signs of termite activity, assessing the property and understanding the individual circumstances before recommending the appropriate next step. Treatment options are tailored to the property requirements and findings identified during the inspection.
Apex uses the latest and effective digital detecting equipment comprising Flir MR176 Imaging Moisture and Thermal Imaging Meter, The Dashing T8 ultrasonic/microwave-based termite detection device and The Dashing T8 boroscope a handheld inspection camera designed for detailed visual inspection of hard-to-reach areas.
Apex provides clear communication throughout the process, explaining what has been identified, the recommended approach and any further action that may be required. Regular inspections and preventative recommendations can also help property owners stay aware of potential termite risks.
Advanced Termite Detection
Even if your property already has a termite management system in place, the Australian Standard AS 3660 recommends a professional termite inspection at least once every year.
Every Apex inspection combines several detection technologies to build a clear, evidence-based picture of what is happening behind your walls, under floors and in roof voids, without unnecessary drilling or cutting.
✔ Thermal imaging – highlights temperature differences that can reveal termite nests and activity inside walls.
✔ Radar motion detection – picks up subtle termite movement through solid surfaces without disturbing the colony.
✔ Moisture level analysis – identifies damp areas that attract termites and can signal hidden activity.
✔ Temperature monitoring – tracks subtle changes that help pinpoint where termites may be working.
We'll work with you to create a tailored inspection and protection plan that suits your property and your budget.

With more than 15 years in the pest control and service industry, Apex provides termite inspection and treatment services for residential and commercial properties.
Every property is different. Apex considers the individual situation, property requirements and inspection findings when recommending termite treatment options.
Apex explains what has been identified, the recommended approach and any further action that may be required, helping customers understand the next steps.
Apex considers conditions that may contribute to termite activity and provides practical advice where appropriate to help property owners manage potential risks.
Apex technicians are fully licensed and insured, with safety procedures followed throughout termite inspections and treatment services.
Apex provides a combination of chemical, physical and hybrid systems designed to help prevent termite entry and manage termite activity before it causes damage to your property.
Apex provides a range of chemical and baiting systems designed to help prevent or manage termite activity. Options can include soil and perimeter treatments, reticulated chemical systems, chemical-impregnated sheets such as Kordon, and termite baiting stations.
Chemical barriers can provide long-term protection, while baiting systems use slow-acting insect growth regulators that termites carry back to the colony. Baiting systems require regular monitoring and maintenance to maintain their effectiveness.
Physical termite barriers are designed to prevent termites from entering a property through foundations, service penetrations and other vulnerable areas. Apex can provide options including stainless steel mesh systems such as Termimesh, particle or glass barriers such as Termiglass, membranes and structural shields.
Hybrid systems can combine physical and chemical protection to provide long-term termite management. These systems can be particularly relevant to new construction or properties where specific building conditions need to be considered.
Identifying termite activity early can help property owners address potential problems before significant damage occurs. Apex uses visual inspections alongside specialist detection and measurement equipment to investigate areas where termite activity may not be immediately visible.
Detection tools we use include the Dashing T8 for investigating concealed termite activity and the FLIR MR176, which combines thermal imaging with pin and pinless moisture measurement to identify heat and moisture anomalies that may warrant further investigation.
The FLIR MR176 can also capture thermal images and moisture readings for documentation and reporting.
For property owners wanting more information, Apex can provide a range of termite prevention, monitoring and detection options, including:
Some systems can provide protection for up to 8 years.
Refillable systems can allow ongoing treatment without disturbing landscaping.
A non-toxic, maintenance-free physical barrier system.
A chemical-free particle barrier designed to restrict termite movement.
Specialist detection equipment capable of investigating termite activity up to approximately 30 cm deep.
Combines thermal imaging with pin and pinless moisture detection to investigate potential termite activity.
Thermal images and moisture readings can be captured and retained for reporting and progress tracking.
Apex follows a structured approach to termite inspections and treatments, starting with an assessment of the property and any signs of termite activity. Findings are discussed clearly with the customer, along with the recommended treatment options and any further action that may be required.
All termite services are carried out using established safety procedures, with appropriate equipment and chemical handling practices followed throughout the process. Apex always provides digital reports after inspection, treatment completed and recommendations for ongoing property management.
Apex’s focus is on providing clear advice, professional workmanship and a termite management approach suited to each individual property.

Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends termite inspections at least every 12 months, and more often for properties in higher-risk areas or with a history of termite activity.
The technician checks accessible areas inside and outside the property for termite activity, damage and conditions that attract termites, using tools such as the FLIR MR176 thermal imaging moisture meter. You then receive a report of the findings.
Yes. If termite activity is found, Apex can recommend and carry out treatment options suited to the property and the level of activity.
A visual termite inspection is $350. If termite activity or risk is found, treatment options are priced after the inspection, based on the size of the property and the solution that suits it best.
Yes. Termites feed on timber and other cellulose materials and can cause significant structural damage, often before it is noticed, which is why regular inspections are important.
Yes. Apex provides termite inspections, treatments and prevention options for residential, commercial and strata properties.
Yes. Along with regular inspections, Apex can recommend prevention systems and give advice on reducing conditions that attract termites, such as moisture and timber in contact with soil.
Options can include termite baiting and monitoring systems, chemical soil barriers and physical barriers. After inspecting your property, Apex will recommend the most suitable option and provide a price for it.
Bait stations are installed in the ground around the property and checked regularly. When termites are found in a station, bait is added that they carry back to the colony, which can eliminate it over time.
A physical barrier is a material, such as stainless steel mesh or graded stone, installed in or around a building to stop termites entering concealed areas and force them into the open where they can be detected.
Yes. Tools such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters can help identify possible termite activity behind walls and floors without causing damage.
The FLIR MR176 is a moisture meter with built-in thermal imaging. It helps technicians spot temperature and moisture changes that can indicate hidden termite activity or conditions that attract termites.
Yes. Baiting systems need regular checks to stay effective, and barriers should be paired with regular inspections. Apex can explain the maintenance needed for your system.
