ANNUAL TERMITE INSPECTION KENMORE 4069
Termites are a very nasty pest that can cause significant damage and an expensive repair bill if left unchecked. We encourage our clients to have an annual termite inspection when having their pest control service done.
Prevention and handy tips from our Pest Inspectors can guide you to maintain your property well.
When conducting an annual termite inspection, our Pest Inspector scours every inch of the dwelling and property looking for an evidence of active or past termite activity.
Knowing that moisture in a home is a real attactor for termites, our Pest Inspector especially checks in and around wet areas - kitchens, bathrooms, laundries.
He noticed there was mould appearing on the ceiling beneath a bathroom. Was it from a past leak that has been fixed or is there still an active leak?
One way to check is to pull apart the plaster. But that can prove to be problematic of many levels. The most effective, non-invasive way is to use a piece of hi-tech equipment called Tramex Moisture Encounter.
It can read the moisture level through a number of mediums - timber, masonry, tile, plaster, drywall, roofing. Giving a reading of 25 in the high redline zone was indicative of an active leak.
It almost seems counter-intuitive that a Pest Inspector for an annual termite inspection tells you have a leak in your bathroom. That’s what’s awesome about what we do.
