Pest Inspection
Pest Inspection vs Termite Inspection
This is a common misconception. Many times, people ask for or are offered pest inspections, but it’s another term used for termites or timber pests, which can be detrimental to the structure of a home.
Annual termite inspections are crucial for homeowners to protect their property from the devastating effects of termite infestations.
Pest controller, cockroaches and spiders
Inspectors and pest controllers are not looking for nuisance pests as they will not cause structural damage to a property. If you would like to know about nuisance pests, you can request this, and most of the time, the property inspector or pest controller will do this for free during the termite inspection anyway, as it is no extra work.
If you would like a pest inspection for nuisance pests, it would involve looking for signs of pest activity, such as droppings, nests, or damage to the property. The inspector will also check for potential entry points, such as cracks in the foundation or gaps around doors and windows, that pests can use to gain access to the property.
A physical termite barrier is one that consists of wide sheets that are placed underneath the slab of your building or around your home. An annual termite inspection is the best way to detect and prevent termite infestations before they cause extensive damage.
Pest Prevention
Prevention measures for nuisance pests can include sealing potential entry points, removing food and water sources, and regular maintenance. If you have regular annual pest control, you will not need a pest inspection for nuisance pests! And even if you have nuisance pest issues, save yourself the money and ask for a pest control treatment to solve the issue, not a pest inspection for nuisance pests.
The purpose of an inspection for termites is to determine if a colony of termites is present. Then, it is critical to identify the species.
