What does a pest inspection involve?
A pest inspection is a detailed assessment of a property to identify evidence of termites, borers, fungal decay and other timber pests. Inspectors check both interior and exterior areas, including the roof space, subfloor, skirting boards and garden surroundings. Advanced tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras are often used to detect hidden activity that might not be visible to the naked eye.
How often should I get a pest inspection?
Experts recommend having a professional pest inspection at least once every 12 months. However, if you live in a high-risk area — especially regions with warm, humid conditions or near bushland — inspections every six months are ideal. Regular checks help catch termite activity early before significant damage occurs, saving you costly repairs in the long term.
Are pest inspections necessary for new homes?
Yes, even new homes can be vulnerable to termite or pest problems. Building materials, soil movement and nearby properties can introduce risk factors that aren’t immediately obvious. A pest inspection ensures your new home meets protection standards and remains safe from hidden infestations, providing confidence that your investment is secure from day one.
Early Detection for Lasting Protection
A professional pest inspection helps you catch issues before they become costly damage. During an inspection, every accessible area is checked, including roof voids, subfloors, internal walls and exterior structures, to identify evidence of termites, borers or fungal decay. Using thermal imaging and moisture detection, potential risk zones are quickly identified, even when pests are out of sight. A clear, detailed report outlines all findings, with photos and expert recommendations on how to treat or prevent future infestations.
Regular pest inspections not only protect your property’s structure but also your peace of mind. Whether it’s a new purchase, annual maintenance or part of a pre-sale check, this step helps you stay one move ahead of potential damage.
