Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections Purchasing a home is for most people a huge decision and can be quite a stressful time. Finding termites or termite damage in the home you have just purchased can shatter your dreams in seconds. A pre purchase timber pest inspection prior to purchase is a wise decision. To choose a competent and professional timber pest inspection company, you should look for the following: Try and select a member of the Australian Pest Managers Association as they are governed by the association's ethical standards. Ensure that the company is fully insured and are accredited timber pest inspectors. Choose a company with many years experience in both termite and pest control. Ensure the inspection will be carried out to Australian Standards 4349.3 and a report to that standard is issued. An inspection of an average house with a sub floor and roof void, should take on average around 2 hours to complete. Ask the company how long they will take to conduct these inspections Termite Inspections Subterranean Termites are by far the most destructive timber pests in Australia and termite surveys conducted find that one in three homes in Australia will be affected by termites at some stage. All too often, the presence of these silent invaders goes undetected until damage is discovered by chance by the home owner. Termites are found in every suburb of Melbourne and throughout all of Victoria. Termites like to exist in areas where they can't be readily disturbed, thus discovering termites by the home owner is usually difficult and by chance. Regular Termite Inspections by an experienced Timber Pest Inspector is strongly recommended. An average home in Melbourne with a sub floor and roof void should take around 1½ to 2 hours to complete and should come with a comprehensive report giving you, the home owner, areas conducive to termite attack and recommendations on how best to correct the problems found.
