What is a Termite Inspection?

A termite inspection is a detailed visual inspection of your property by a licensed termite inspector to detect any signs of termites or conditions that could lead to an infestation. Inspectors check both the inside and outside areas, paying close attention to areas that are most vulnerable, like walls, ceilings, subfloors, attics, roof voids, and crawl spaces. They may use tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras for accurate termite detection. After the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report.

Why Inspect for Termites?

Sydney’s climate makes it the perfect place for these pests to thrive. This increases the threat of termite infestations. Whether your house is brick, timber, or concrete, termites can find a way in easily, even through tiny cracks or gaps in the construction. Once they get in, they can chew through timbers and other materials, weakening your house structure. A yearly termite inspection by experts provides essential  protection and helps catch these pests before they can cause serious damage. Early termite detection allows for timely termite control measures.

Regular termite inspections are important for effective termite protection. They help you prevent long-term damage from a termite attack. It’s much easier (and cheaper!) to implement termite treatments when termites are first detected. Early prevention removes the risk of costly damage to your house.

Think of a termite inspection as an insurance policy for your home. You spent all that money on it; it makes sense to protect it with professional pest control services.

How Do We Inspect for Termites?

Our termite inspection process is straightforward but thorough. First, we conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of all the common areas where they might enter or live. Then, we use advanced technology like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect active termite activity that the eye can’t see. This ensures accurate termite detection.

Once the inspection is done, we’ll provide you with a detailed termite inspection report. The report will include photos showing what we found. If there is termite activity, we’ll recommend the next steps to take, whether that’s termite treatments or prevention strategies.

What Areas Do We Inspect?

When we do a termite inspection, we check all areas that might harbour these pests, including:

  • Walls and Ceilings
  • Floors and Subfloors
  • Roof and Attic, including roof voids
  • Outdoor Structures: Decks, pergolas, fences, and other wooden outdoor features
  • Plumbing and Pipes
  • Doors and Windows
  • Garden Areas and Tree Stumps

How Can I Detect a Termite Infestation?

Common Signs to Watch For are:

  • Mud Tubes: These pencil-thin tunnels are a clear sign that termites are traveling from the ground into the building.
  • Termite Droppings: Also called frass, these tiny wood-colored pellets are a telltale sign of drywood termites.
  • Damaged Wood: If wood sounds hollow when tapped or is visibly weakened, live termites could be feeding on cellulose in the wood. This causes extensive damage in timber fixtures.
  • Termite Nests: Discovering a nest or colonies near your property is a significant warning sign.

Why Early Detection Matters

Early detection is critical for effective termite control because these “white ants” work quickly and quietly. If caught early, you can implement preventative measures to avoid the expensive and often extensive repairs that come with a severe infestation.

How Do I Prevent Termites?

Managing Moisture

Termites are attracted to moisture, so it’s important to keep all areas dry. Fix any leaks in plumbing and pipes, improve ventilation, and make sure your subfloor is well-ventilated to prevent moisture build-up.

Termite-Resistant Materials

Where possible, use treated timber. Also, make sure there’s no direct contact between wood and soil, as this makes it easier for them to penetrate. Consult with experts for advice on the best materials and construction practices to prevent termite infestations.

What Termite Treatment Options Do You Offer?

Chemical Barriers

A chemical barrier is applied around your home’s foundation to stop them from entering. This termite control treatment creates a chemically treated zone or reticulation system. These treatments last for years and are a powerful way to keep them out.

Baiting Systems

Baiting stations are placed around your property to lure termites, which then carry poison back to the colony, eventually eliminating the entire termite colony. This is an effective treatment service.

Physical Barriers

When building or renovating, physical termite barriers (like metal mesh or crushed rock) can be installed to prevent termites from entering your home. This termite protection measure is recommended by experts.

Subfloor Ventilation Services

Prevent rising dampness and promote air circulation to minimie attraction. Proper ventilation is essential for termite prevention.
