What the Termite Inspection Covers
Termites can remain concealed behind walls, beneath floors and inside structural timber. A visual inspection checks accessible interior, exterior and subfloor or roof areas where access is practical, looking for activity, damage indicators and conditions that may increase risk.
This online service is an inspection only. It does not include termite treatment, a chemical barrier, baiting, invasive opening of building materials or repairs. If active termites or concerning evidence are found, the findings can support a separate treatment assessment.
Online booking is available for a House, Townhouse, Villa or Duplex. Commercial Shops and Units or Apartments require a different assessment pathway and cannot use this online termite inspection booking.
Practical reasons to book
Why Regular Termite Checks Matter
Moisture Raises Concern
Leaks, poor drainage and persistently damp building edges can create conditions that need closer inspection.
Accessible Areas Tell Part of the Story
Roof voids, subfloors, interiors and external edges provide different evidence when they can be reached safely.
Damage Is Not Always Termites
Borers, fungal decay and old inactive marks can resemble termite damage and require careful identification.
Insurance Terms Vary
Some home policies may exclude termite damage, so owners should check their own policy and Product Disclosure Statement.
Findings Guide the Next Step
An inspection helps identify whether monitoring, risk reduction or a separate treatment proposal is appropriate.

- Move pets to a safe, separate area during the visit and keep them away from treated surfaces until they are dry.
- Clear small items, toys and pet bowls from floors and benchtops in treatment areas.

- Add gate, pet, parking and other access details to the booking notes before the appointment.
- Clear access to roof void and subfloor entry points where available.
- Move garden cover away from the building perimeter where practical so visible signs can be checked.
- Have previous termite reports or treatment records available if possible.
After the appointment
- Wait until treated surfaces are dry and follow the technician's service-specific re-entry advice.
- Avoid wiping or cleaning treated surfaces for at least 7 days unless the technician gives different instructions.
- A short increase in pest activity can occur as pests leave harbourage areas after treatment.
- Use the Warranty Policy or contact support if covered pest activity continues after the expected settling period.
- No re-entry wait applies because this is a non-invasive visual inspection.
- Review the written findings and arrange a separate treatment assessment if activity or material risk is identified.
