Frequently asked questions

What are the signs that I may have Termites?

Possible signs include mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, blistering surfaces, stuck doors or windows, and discarded insect wings. Avoid disturbing suspected activity before arranging an inspection. 

What is included in a professional termite inspection? 

Subject to safe and reasonable access, the inspection covers accessible internal and external areas, roof voids, subfloors, slab edges, moisture-affected areas, potential termite entry points and visible termite management systems. 

Is a termite inspection the same as a termite treatment

No. An inspection assesses termite activity, visible damage, conducive conditions and property-specific risk. Treatment is considered separately where the findings justify it. 

How often should I have a termite inspection?

For most homes, annual termite inspections are the accepted baseline. Six-monthly inspections may be recommended where termite risk is higher, including properties with previous activity, moisture issues, restricted access or complex construction. Check with professionals.

What Happens if I disturb termites?

For most homes, annual termite inspections are the accepted baseline. Six-monthly inspections may be recommended where termite risk is higher, including properties with previous activity, moisture issues, restricted access or complex construction. Check with professionals.

Does a termite inspection guarantee that my property is termite-free?

No. Termites may be concealed in inaccessible areas, and activity can begin after the inspection. Your report clearly records what was inspected, any limitations and what those limitations may mean.
