A thorough termite inspection could take up to 2 hours or more, depending on factors like the property's size, construction type, and the issues that might be discovered.

For a standard 3/4 bedroom house built on a concrete slab, an inspection completed in less than an hour should raise red flags about its thoroughness.

World class Termite inspection equipment

One of our key inspection tools is the Termatrac T3i. It compliments our skills as termite inspectors and provides us (and you, as our customers) with the confidence that we have done everything to check your property. How the Termatrac helps…

  • Motion detector: Can pick up the movement of termites behind walls

  • Thermal measurements: Can pick up small differences in the wall temperatures which may indicate termite activity inside the wall cavity

  • Moisture measurement: Useful for picking up areas of moisture which may indicate a water leak or area of termite activity.

What's the difference between a pre-purchase pest inspection and a termite inspection?


A pre-purchase pest inspection or more accurately a timber pest inspection is carried out before the purchase of a property (either by the seller and / or buyer). It will assess the property for more than just termites, also looking at borer activity, wood decay fungus and mould. Given its importance in the sales process, an agreement needs to be signed before an inspection is carried out.

In contrast, the standard termite inspection is carried out by property owners as part of their normal property maintenance routine. Normally these inspections are carried out on an annual basis, but sometimes more frequently on properties with a higher risk of termite attack. No pre-inspection agreement is required, and the inspection is focused solely on termites. (However, if we spot wood decay or borer issues, we will let you know!).
