HOW INSPECTIONS WORK
A pest control specialist will thoroughly inspect the property in order to find any evidence of pest damage.

How Often Should a Termite Inspection Be Carried Out?
A professional check on a property should generally be carried out at least once every 12 months. Properties on the North Shore with higher risk factors, such as older timber construction, dense surrounding vegetation, or a history of termite activity, may benefit from more frequent checks. Annual inspections can help identify signs of activity before they develop into a more serious and costly problem.
What Does an Inspection for Termites Actually Cover?
A professional assessment typically covers all accessible timber structures, subfloor areas, roof voids, fencing, and moisture-prone zones around the property. Inspectors may use tools such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture metres to detect hidden activity. A written report with findings and recommendations is usually provided at the end.
Can I Do an Inspection for Termites Myself?
A homeowner can look out for visible warning signs such as mud tubes, hollow-sounding timber, or discarded wings near windows. However, a self-conducted check cannot substitute a licensed assessment. Qualified technicians have specialist equipment and training to detect activity in concealed areas that are not visible to the untrained eye.
Will the Inspection Cause Any Damage to My Home?
No. A termite inspection is non-invasive in most cases. Licensed inspectors visually examine accessible areas and use detection tools to assess concealed spaces without the need to open walls or disturb structural elements, unless further investigation is warranted and agreed upon beforehand.
