WHAT MATTERS

What to know about what happens during a termite inspection

Good pest decisions start with the right identification and an understanding of how the activity fits the property. These are the practical points we consider before recommending treatment or further investigation.

Accessible internal, external, roof and subfloor areas are assessed where relevant and safe.
Moisture patterns, timber contact, drainage and other conducive conditions are considered.
Inspection findings should distinguish visible evidence from inaccessible or concealed areas.

Goliath approach

We focus on the source of the activity, the property conditions and a treatment plan that matches the pest rather than relying on generic advice or unnecessary chemical use.

PRACTICAL NEXT STEP

When professional help is useful

Repeated activity

If the same pest keeps returning after cleaning or simple control measures, there may be harbourage, entry or a colony that has not been addressed.

Unclear source

When the activity appears in several rooms or shared areas, inspection can help identify how the pest is moving through the property.

Higher-risk areas

Kitchens, commercial sites, roof voids, termite-risk areas and shared buildings often benefit from a structured professional plan.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about what happens during a termite inspection

Does an inspection guarantee there are no termites?

No inspection can see through every concealed area. A report should explain access limitations and observed evidence.

Are moisture meters and thermal tools enough on their own?

They are supporting tools. Findings still need to be interpreted with physical inspection and termite evidence.
