A timber pest inspection checks for signs of activity and conditions that allow pests to thrive. The inspection does not treat any pests and does not guarantee a pest free result.
36 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Whittlesea building and pest inspection. We look at the parts of an older house that can be easily reached. If the roof cavity, subfloor or meter box is locked or blocked, the report notes this in the inspection findings.

Termites can bypass the barrier if the house has expanded beyond the treated zone. Changes to garden beds, paving and rendered edges usually happened after the original build.
No. We found no signs of damage in the parts of the building that we could reach. Subterranean termites hide in the soil and inside structural timbers, making a completely clear report impossible.
