Why is an annual timber pest inspection important?

Find termites before they do too much damage

Termites can enter your property undetected, so it is important to have a professional check the property at least every 12 months to ensure that they have not taken up residence.  The inspector will be looking for signs of termite entry such as mudding on the exterior of the house, damage to skirting boards and window frames or other evidence of entry.

Identify conducive conditions for termites.

Your report will highlight any conducive conditions identified by the inspector.  These are items that need to be attended to as they are creating favourable conditions for termites.  This can include water discharging beside the slab of the house, leaking pipes or excessive moisture identified in wall cavities and excessive vegetation beside the house.

Make recommendations for termite management

The inspection will include an evaluation and recommendations on the management system that is currently at the property and advice on improvements. There is no system available that can guarantee termites won't enter the property (as they can circumvent most systems) so even with a system, it is important to have annual inspections. 

Dedant use the latest technology

Thermal camera

Flir Thermal Imaging Camera

The Flir thermal camera (FLIR E8- XT)  is the perfect tool for diagnosing temperature anomalies inside a building.  This equipment  will indicate  hot spots and cold spots, possibly indicating a large termite nest hidden in the wall cavity, leaking pipes behind a wall and leaking showers.

Termatrac

Termatrac T3i All Sensor

Using radar technology, relative and direct moisture sensor as well as a thermal sensor, the T3i All Sensor was designed to help operators locate, confirm and track the presence and extent of termite and other pest activity. Used with an invasive inspection to determine termite activity.

Moisture meter

Tramax Moisture Meter

The Tramax moisture meter is the leading tool in moisture detection.  High moisture levels could indicate leaking pipes, poor ventilation, ineffective drainage, leaking roof or defective flashing.  Damp timber within wall cavities is also very attractive to termites.
