The Importance Of Termite Inspections

How to prepare for a termite inspection (thermal) for a Wynnum West property in Brisbane?

To assist our technicians in conducting the most thorough inspection of your property as possible, we kindly ask that you prepare your home in the following ways –

  1. Clear items away from the external walls of your home – this ensures our technicians do not have to skip inspecting any part of your home due to obstructions. This is also a positive step towards preventing future termite attacks, as storing goods beside the external walls of your home often creates dark and damp conditions that are attractive to termites.
  2. Clear items away from the internal walls of your Wynnum West home – this again ensures our technicians can be as comprehensive as possible with their internal inspection of your home. When it is not practical to clear all internal walls of your home, we recommend you prioritise clearing the internal perimeter walls of the lower level of your home, as well as around all skirting boards, windows and door frames.

3. Open all curtains and blinds – this allows our technicians to inspect your home’s architraves without obstruction. It also allows more natural light which improves the overall visibility for inspecting other areas of your home in Wynnum West.

4. Clear any cupboards that back onto a shower or sink – termites love dark and damp conditions that are most common behind your shower and sink. If you have cupboards behind your shower or beneath your sink, we kindly ask that you empty them to allow us to be as thorough as possible.

Don’t forget the garage – garage walls are often the most difficult to access during  inspections due to shelving installations and this being a high storage area. When preparing your home for its termite inspection, we kindly ask you to remember to clear all items from the skirting boards in your garage as well. 

Remember – the better access we have, the better we are able to detect any signs of termites.
