Termite Inspections

Protect Your Property With An In-depth Termite Inspection

You may never know they're there - termites. In fact, the only way you can be sure that your home is free from termites is a termite inspection and a proactive treatment.

Do you know what to look for to find termites or what is involved with a termite inspection? There are some telltale signs of an infestation, but it's always best to consult with a professional termite inspector. A quality termite inspection will not only help you avoid costly damages down the road, but also keep your home or business safe from any potential termite infestations!

Termite inspections are the best way to detect and get rid of these pests before they cause any damage. We offer quality termite inspection services for residential and commercial property owners.

Termite Inspection Services We Offer

The signs of a termite infestation can be so subtle that you never see them until it's too late. A rafter collapses, or there is a hollow or papery feel when you touch your doorframes or window sills, or you see a mud trail up the wall on the exterior of your property - these are all signs that you might have termites. Instead of worrying about it, why not get a termite inspection? That's one appointment you don't want to put off.

At Suburban Pest Management, we perform thousands of in-depth termite inspections each year. As local pest professionals and termite inspectors, we know just where to look to find the elusive creatures. We conduct a wide variety of termite inspections, including: 

• Routine termite inspections
• Emergency termite inspections
• Pre-purchase inspections
• Regular termite management and yearly inspections

Routine Termite Inspections

Through our years in business, we have done thousands of routine termite inspections. We recommend that every home or business owner have an annual termite inspection.

Our expert termite inspectors have years of experience and training, and they use state-of-the-art equipment to detect these creatures. Because termites spend most of their lives underground and inside wooden structures, it's sometimes hard to see any evidence of a termite attack with the naked eye.

From our years in the industry, we know that the average cost to repair the damage to a standard residential home from a termite attack is on average around $8,000, so a yearly inspection for most residential properties costs but a pittance. Plus, our online offer means you can get your inspection at a reduced price. See our video and click the Book a Time Now button in the red box above.

Our routine inspections are the most thorough in the local area. We don't just inspect the inside of your home. We hunt down termites wherever they might hide, including:

1. Your yard and garden: We check all your timber fencing, retaining walls, trees, tree stumps, and timber landscaping features within 50 metres of your building
2. Inside your building: Our termite inspectors examine all your timber fitouts, cupboards, trims, window architraves, flooring, skirting, doors, and door jambs for any potential termite entry
3. Under your home: We check your sub-floor too, if it's accessible. We'll look at the joists, bearers, stored timber, the underside of your timber flooring, and joists all the timber support structures of your home
4. The ceiling cavity and the roof: Moisture-affected and little-used areas are prime real estate for active termites. We check your skylights, your entire roof void, vents, gutters, downpipes, roof battens, beams, rafters, roof battens, eaves, and flues. Nothing escapes our attention.

The whole process should take a total of one to two hours.

After we finish, we will provide you with a complete termite inspection report about what we found whilst we're still on site. When we return to the office, we'll edit the report, and then write a summary letter that makes it easier to understand the most important parts of our findings.

Then, we'll make our recommendations. If we find evidence of termites, we'll advise you to schedule a comprehensive termite treatment to rid your property of them for good.

If we don't find any termites, you may want to have a proactive treatment done to prevent them from coming into your home in the first place. If not, we can give you some prevention tips, for example, removing termite-attracting vegetation and timber. A termite management plan is a must in order to protect your property from termite attacks.

It's well worth the investment. With our well-trained, insured, and fully licensed termite control professionals, you can't go wrong. ‍

Emergency Termite Inspections

Termites are hard to detect. That's why it's important to call in the professionals when you see possible termite damage in your home.

Maybe you have noticed termite damage to the fence, or see mud trails on a wall, or noticed timber that seems soft in spots? Don't wait. You may be playing host to a colony of termites. Call us. We will visit your property and track down where these creatures are hiding.

Once we determine that there are termites on your property, we can recommend a remedial colony control treatment and long-term management measures.

Regular Termite Management Plan And Yearly Inspections

Once we’ve controlled any visible termites, you want to keep your home protected from future termite attack. With our regular termite management programmes, we will check your home every year to make sure your termite protection solution works as it should. If you opt for a baiting system, we’ll need to stop by more regularly to bait the stations, as well as for your yearly termite inspection.‍

What Can You Expect From Our Expert Termite Inspectors?

As well as a thorough examination of your home's exterior and interior, an in-depth termite inspection will also check "high risk areas" such as under decks, landings, around tree root systems, and in many other places, which can often be tell-tale signs that termites are nearby and there is the potential of structural damage to homes close to those areas.
