What is Termite Inspection?A Termite Inspection is a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas of a home for evidence of termite activity and or termite workings/damage. The inspector will visually inspect the interior and exterior of the home or building including any accessible roof cavities or roof void, and sub-floor areas. To carry out this inspection we can use specialized pieces of equipment, including a Donger, Moisture Meter, Termatrac & Thermal Imaging Camera. The donger is used to sound timbers on the inside of your home checking window frames, door frames, skirting boards & any other exposed timbers. The moisture meter is used to check moisture levels in your walls & skirtings. Once completed the inspection, we will briefly explain our findings in person & provide you with a full written report. If treatment is required, we give you a written quotation with all the prices broken down with different options available to you. Appropriate recommendations on different treatments and measures to help ensure the security of your home will be outlined. We carry out a Timber Pest Inspection to AS 4349.3 with a written report and recommendations, which takes approximately 1 1/2- 2hrs to do, inspecting your home for Termites, Borers & Fungies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need Termite Inspection? | Termites are a serious pest in Australia, and termite infestation in houses is 5 times more likely to occur than a fire. Termites are social insects, most persistent and destructive in nature. That’s why you need REGULAR INSPECTIONS. Don’t be another one of those 5 houses. |
How often do I need Termite Inspection? | The Australian Standard and the Australian Building Standards Advisory Council recommend inspections at least every 12 months. Your Termite Technician will perform this inspection for you. |
I found possible termite damage, now what? | If you think you have termites or you have found a suspect skirting board or door frame it is very important not to disturb or break open the damaged timber or workings as the termites will shut down the disturbed area and possibly begin damaging elsewhere in your home, then immediately contact your licensed Termite Technician. Do not disturb the workings in any way. Left undisturbed your Termite Technician will be better able to tailor an eradication program to suit your home. |
