Why you need professional pest inspection services
Termites and their nests tend to avoid bright lights and open air locations, so their colonies are usually underground, out of sight or within wooden materials i.e trees and stumps within the yard, wall cavities and roof voids within the home.
This means termite damage is often hidden from sight until infestation has become more severe. A professional pest or termite inspector has the ability to inspect likely areas for damage or infestations.
What happens during a pest inspection?
Our Townsville pest inspectors perform a visual inspection to all accessible areas of the property.
They inspect for signs of termite activity, damage and workings. All findings are included in a detailed pest report along with recommendations for suitable termite treatment plans, either to eradicate the pests, or ensure your home is protected for the future.
A Thermal Imaging Camera is also available as an extra tool to be used on the structure to detect any large termite infestations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our pest inspections are a thorough check of your home or property for signs of termites and other timber pests. We look at all accessible areas, including the roof void, subfloor, interior and exterior walls, garages, fences, sheds, and even structures up to 50 metres from the main building. If you have a termite management system in place already, we’ll assess that too and include our findings in the report.
Pests like termites can cause serious damage to your home, often without any obvious signs until it’s too late. A professional inspection gives you peace of mind and can save you thousands in repairs by catching issues early. Whether you’re buying a property or maintaining your current home, a pest inspection is a smart move.
We recommend having a pest inspection at least once a year. In some cases, especially if your home has had previous termite activity or you’re in a high-risk area, more frequent checks may be needed.
We also offer discounted rates for repeat inspections and can remind you when it’s time for your next one.
One of our experienced inspectors will do a visual check of your property, looking for any signs of termite activity, damage, or conditions that might attract pests. Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report with photos, findings, and recommendations for treatment or prevention if needed.
Yes, we use a range of advanced tools to help us detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. One of these is a thermal imaging camera, which picks up temperature variations in walls, ceilings, and floors. These temperature shifts can indicate possible termite activity or other areas of concern, such as moisture intrusion or hidden structural faults. A trained inspector can interpret these images in seconds and identify areas that need further investigation.
We also use moisture meters to detect dampness in building materials, which can signal leaks or conditions that attract pests like termites, borers, and beetles. Since these pests thrive in moist timber, moisture readings can help us trace infestations and locate potential nest sites, especially in hard-to-access areas.
These tools, combined with our experience, allow us to carry out a much more accurate and thorough inspection.
