How We Inspect

Our comprehensive process includes visually checking all susceptible areas and using tools like moisture meters, taps and probes to detect signs of termite activity. We inspect interior and exterior areas, including foundations, wood structures, insulation and more. Our inspections are designed to find termites in all life stages.

Key Benefits of Termite Inspection

Here are some key benefits of getting a termite inspection:

  • Early detection – Catching pest infestation early prevents serious structural damage and saves thousands in repairs later. Annual inspections allow for early treatment.
  • Preventative treatments – If signs of termites are found, we advise proper prevention methods like termite barriers, chemical treatments or baits to eliminate the colony.
  • Peace of mind – Our thorough inspections provide home owners reassurance that termites are not secretly destroying your valuable investment from the inside out.
  • Protect re-sale value – Preventing and addressing termite damage maintains the worth of your asset over the years. No unpleasant surprises when you eventually sell.
  • Warranty options – Some of our treatment partners offer warranties with their termite elimination services for added protection.
  • Save on repairs – Finding termites early minimizes destruction. Repairing minor isolated damage is much cheaper than replacing entire wooden structures later on.

We also inform clients on conducive conditions that attract termites like moisture issues or wood debris. Addressing these makes your home far less susceptible to future infestations.

Signs To Look Out For

Keep an eye out for hollowed wood, crumbling drywall or spotted excrement around your home. We investigate areas prone to moisture buildup, cracking and excess cellulose material that attract pests.

If you spot any warning signs, contact our Pest Controllers right away to schedule your inspection.
