Termite Inspection on the Gold Coast

How Termite Inspection Works

Using high-tech equipment, our licensed technicians will check all relevant parts of your building for any trace of termites. Most of the time, termite activity will not be visible to the naked eye until long they’ve caused serious damage, because they’re quite good at hiding inside the structure once entry has been made – and can often end up completely eating away the wood from the inside.

Termites can also make their presence known through the sounds made when they're consuming the wood – which although faint, are detectable by the trained ear using the right equipment.

If you see visual signs of activity - like explained piles of very fine wood dust, or you suspect the presence of these wood-loving insects, a termite inspection by a licensed technician is recommended.

We have well-trained termite inspectors on the Gold Coast, who carry all the necessary equipment to detect termites during an inspection visit.

Our processes include:

Checking every relevant area of the structure

Examining the structure of your house for any sign of damage

Inspecting near wooden furniture for signs of activity

Inspecting near trees and fence lines for signs of activity

What we do after finding termites

Once we have detected the infestation by termites in your homes and offices, we can discuss with you the options for treatment of the current infestation, along with suitable barriers to prevent re-entry and further colonization by termites.

Some easy things that can be done at any point to reduce the incidence of termites is:

1. Reducing the number of wooden furniture in your homes and offices. You can achieve this by replacing them with plastic or metal ones.
2. Painting wooden furniture thoroughly. Termites don’t like chewing through paint, so this can help keep them away.
3. Aerating your home regularly by using air conditioners and fans. Termites prefer warm and humid places.

In addition to installation, we provide maintenance and top-up services for the barriers put in place, typically involving annual or biannual checks. This is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the barriers into the future, and is a requirement for any home warranty offered by the manufacturers.

Our eagle-eyed inspectors have the right training and best equipment available to ensure that any sign of termite activity is not missed. We also provide treatment and deterrent programs to get rid of these destructive creatures for good. We’re ready to help with your termite inspection requirements on the Gold Coast.
