Protect your biggest investment with an annual pest inspection.

A pre-purchase pest inspection should be carried out before a property is purchased, and is an inspection of the building and property including roof void, sub-floor, internal and external timbers, and trees and fences within the property boundaries.

It deals with the detection or non-detection of live termite activity, borer activity, timber decay, and evidence of damage caused by these pests and includes details of areas of risk.

The prime purpose of a Pre- Purchase/Sale Timber Pest Report is to identify visual evidence of a timber pest, any damage, and/or activity.

Our building and pest inspectors are licensed and certified, have the technical training and the field experience to diagnose any problems. This provides the guarantee that your inspection is thorough and protected.

Regular inspections are the most important part of controlling termites before they do any damage. Do you have termites in or around your home? Many insects are confused with termites, especially ants. Termites are sometimes referred to as 'white ants' because of their pale appearance. The home owner can discourage termites by remembering these facts:

Termites are attracted to wood, so remove potential termite food away from buildings - their food can include timber stacks, old stumps, building refuse, garden decoration such as sleepers and logs.

Waste timber from construction activities is often left in place or stored under the house - remove all timber formwork.

Timber can be treated to prevent termite attack, and some timbers are naturally resistant - use treated or naturally resistant timber when it is in contact with, or close to, soil.

Termites are attracted to water, so fix leaking water pipes, drains, showers, sinks etc, plus capture water from air conditioning units

Termites prefer humid conditions, so keep air under the house dry by improving sub-floor ventilation, drainage and access.
