Termite Inspections
Melbourne
Termite inspections, also known as pest inspections, are the first stage of termite control and treatment for Melbourne homes. Termite inspections provide information on any termites or termite damage in your home. Think of a termite inspection as maintenance on your home, just like servicing your car.
Our termite inspections provide advice on more than just termites
Our comprehensive termite inspections cover issues commonly found in Melbourne homes. We can identify and provide expert advice on:- Termites, commonly known as white ants
- Termite damage
- Conditions conducive to termite attack
- Ways to reduce the risk of termite attack
The key to termite control is to be proactive and have a regular termite inspection every six to twelve months, depending upon your risk. This will help identify any termites quickly, and if necessary you can then arrange treatment before major termite damage occurs.

The more access you have, the more thorough the inspection will be. Therefore, we encourage you to move furniture away from walls, and move any stored goods off floors or away from walls prior to our arrival so that better access can be gained.
We use a variety of methods to inspect your home, including:
- visual inspection of areas that we can access
- timber sounding (tapping all exposed timbers to ensure they are solid)
- use of the latest Termatrac, which uses the latest radar technology designed to detect movement and heat
- use of a moisture meter to detect excessive moisture associated with termite activity.
You will receive a comprehensive written report on your termite inspection. If you have any questions after your inspection, we're just a phone call away.
