PEST INSPECTION
If you are in the market to buy a home, a pest inspection is essential. Apart from inspecting the home itself, we inspect every aspect of the property including gardens, timber fences and any outdoor structures such as sheds, pergolas, cubby houses, outdoor play equipment.
Because we work in the pest control industry daily we know what to look for. We are trained and highly experienced in detecting the presence of pests and termites.
We check every room in the house and where possible check the subfloor and roof cavity.
We inspect all plumbing to floor connections for evidence of leaks or dampness and pest activity.
Also, we use hi-tech equipment that gives readings of pest activity and moisture behind walls. Not all inspection companies use this equipment as it’s expensive.
We use a thermal imaging camera to detect heat or cool masses. Termites for example emit a heat mass of 36C so our camera can detect a termite colony behind a wall without knowing they’re presence. Our camera gives a temperature reading as well as a colour guided image on screen.
Conversely, the camera can detect moisture in a wall from a roof leak by showing an image of a blue mass.
We use a Moisture Encounter that can detect moisture in other building materials such as masonry and gyprock.
That’s why it’s important to choose a Pest Inspection company using latest technology to provide a thorough inspection report.
