Before you commit

A property can look sound and still have a pest problem.

Evidence of termites and timber pest damage isn’t always easy to spot during an open home. Some activity may be concealed within the building, while visible warning signs can be subtle or mistaken for ordinary wear and tear.

A professional pest inspection provides a more methodical assessment of the property’s safe and accessible areas. It can help identify visible evidence of timber pests, existing damage and conditions that may increase the risk of future activity.

Whether you’re purchasing an established home, investment property or commercial premises, the inspection gives you more information before making a significant financial commitment.

A thorough assessment

What does a pest inspection include?

Your pest inspection is completed by a trusted, licensed pest professional and includes:

Inspection for termites and other timber pests

Assessment of safe and reasonably accessible areas

Identification of visible pest activity & timber pest damage

Assessment of conditions that may increase pest risk

Detailed written report

Clear advice about recommended next steps

The scope of the inspection depends on the property and the areas that can be accessed safely at the time.

Looking beyond the surface

What can a pest inspection identify?

A timber pest inspection looks for visible evidence that pests may be active, may have previously affected the property or could pose an increased risk.

This may include:

  • Active termites
  • Previous termite activity
  • Timber pest damage
  • Conditions that increase risk
  • Areas requiring further investigation

A pest inspection can only report on conditions visible within safe and reasonably accessible areas at the time. Concealed activity may not be detectable without invasive investigation.
