Timber Pest Inspections are essential in every Australian property at least every 12 months.
Identify Termite Damage in Early Stages
Queensland is well known for termite problems, causing extensive damage to homes which is typically not covered under your home insurance policy. The Annual Timber Pest Inspection is the best insurance policy that you can take out, providing early detection. Termites can remain undetected for some time, quietly eating away at your house. Some areas are more prone to termites. Call an experienced termite inspector today to find out if you are at risk. See more information on termites here
What are termites?
The termite or white ant can cause massive destruction to a home if undetected, however an annual termite check performed by our experienced termite inspectors can help protect your home from these unwanted pests. If termites are found early enough, then the extent of damaged cause by the colony of termites is often significantly reduced. If you are concerned about termites in your home or just need to book your annual white ant inspection, contact DedAnt for help.

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.

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.
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.
