Or try it on the web →This termite treatment quote template is for residential and light commercial jobs, covering both chemical barriers and baiting systems. Quoting termite work goes wrong in two main areas: underestimating the chemical volume needed for the soil type and forgetting to price difficult access like drilling through tiled patios or concrete paths. Get those two things right and your margin is protected. A solid template stops you from guessing and ensures every litre of termiticide and every hour of labour is accounted for, giving the customer a clear price and you a profitable job.
How to Price a Chemical Barrier per Lineal Metre
Your main cost is the chemical. A 2.5L bottle of Termidor SC from a supplier like Garrards costs around $550 and makes up to 416L of solution. For a standard trench and treat, you’ll use about 10L of mixed solution per lineal metre. That’s a chemical cost of about $13.20 per metre. Labour is next. A two-man team at $80/hr each takes time to trench, mix, and apply. Factor in at least 15 minutes of labour per metre, which adds another $40. Add costs for drilling concrete, plus your equipment wear and margin. A starting price of $65-$85 per lineal metre is a safe baseline before site-specific extras.
The Real Costs Left Off Most Termite Quotes
Forgetting site prep and reinstatement will kill your profit. Drilling through concrete paths or tiled areas requires not just the bit, but the time and cost to patch the holes cleanly. Quote this as a separate line item, around $25-$40 per lineal metre. If you hit rocks and need a jackhammer, that's extra labour. Also, factor in the cost of removing and disposing of old or contaminated soil if required. Finally, always include the annual inspection plan as a separate, optional item on the quote. The work must comply with Australian Standard AS 3660, so your Certificate of Treatment has to be included in the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
A chemical barrier has a high upfront cost for chemical and labour but lower ongoing fees. A baiting system has a lower initial installation cost but requires a mandatory, higher-priced annual monitoring program. Present both options clearly. The baiting system quote must always include the first year's monitoring contract, as per the chemical manufacturer's warranty requirements.
Charge this per lineal metre, not per hour. It covers the specialised drill bits, labour, and patching material. A fair rate is between $25 and $40 per metre on top of your standard treatment cost. For thicker, reinforced concrete, you should be charging at the higher end of that range. Don't forget to check for pipes before you start drilling.
No, quote it separately. The main quote is for the active treatment and installation. The annual inspection is a separate service to maintain the warranty and check for new activity. List it as an optional line item for around $280-$450 per year, depending on the property size. This makes your upfront price clearer and sets up recurring revenue.
