Pest Inspection
A specialised report focused on termite damage and other timber pests.
A pest inspection focuses on signs of termites, borers, fungal decay and other wood-destroying organisms. Many inspectors bundle pest and building inspections into a single report at a discount. Termites cause an estimated $1+ billion of damage annually in Australia, and most home insurance policies exclude termite damage — making pest inspections critical, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
