Why Should You Schedule a Building Pest Inspection for Your Home?
Identify Hidden Problems
Building and pest inspections are essential for uncovering hidden issues, such as termite damage or rodent infestations. Early identification enables you to address these problems before they escalate, saving you from costly repairs later.
Negotiate a Better Price
A pest and building inspection report gives you the upper hand when negotiating with real estate agents. It ensures you don’t overpay for a property that might need significant pest control services or repairs.
Make Informed Decisions
A thorough pest inspection provides the critical information you need to make informed decisions. Whether buying, selling, or investing, it ensures a smoother settlement process, making sure you're not blindsided by hidden issues.
We Inspect the Following Areas
Interior
We perform a detailed inspection of your property’s interior, looking for signs of pests such as droppings, termite damage, and nests that may have been missed or overlooked, ensuring your home remains pest-free.
Exterior
Our experts inspect the exterior of your property for signs of pest activity, including burrows, nests, and entry points where pests could enter your home.
Roof Space
Roof voids can be prime breeding grounds for pests like termites and rodents. We inspect the roof space thoroughly to detect any signs of activity that could affect the rest of your property.
Floor Space
We pay particular attention to floor spaces, including basements and crawl spaces, where pests often thrive. Every inch is inspected for signs of damage or infestation.
Around the Building
We inspect the perimeter of your building, including foundations, fences, and landscaping, to identify potential pest entry points or conditions that could attract pests.

Very thorough inspection done by Ben. As soon as he’s there he gets all his equipment out - drones, thermocam, etc. Report is out on the day. Does not waste time and gets the job done. Would not get the same inspection with the same amount of price. Thanks.
