Our Termite Inspection North Brisbane Team is now offering a 12 month termite inspection warranty!Although highly intelligent pests, there are certain characteristics to Australian Termites that gives our Termite Inspection North Brisbane Team a good idea on how and where they are going to attack your home. The Termite (also known as White Ants) loves two things, timber and moisture and unfortunately most houses in North Brisbane have ample of both. The most common areas which receive the most Termite Damage are the bathroom, the laundry and kitchen. Why? Because they are wet areas and most likely have moisture issues.

Poor ventilation to subfloors, inadequate or damaged drainage around the property or air conditioners and hot water services overflow leaking to the ground create conducive environments, perfect for Termites and other timber pests. With Termites eating timber from the inside out, by the time you discover them the Termite Damage might be substantial.

Conducive Termite Environments found by our Termite Inspection North Brisbane Team

Examples of Conducive Termite Environments. Trees/Gardens against the house. Hot water system overflow leaking onto the ground. Our Termite Inspection North Brisbane Team will advise if you have any.

Understanding Termites is just the start of why Certified Home Inspections can offer such thorough Termite Inspections in North Brisbane. Each Termite Inspector carries an array of State-Of-The-Art equipment that includes a Thermal Imaging Camera. The Thermal Camera is included in all our Termite Inspections at no extra charge and gives us a better idea of what is happening in those walls. A well established Termite nest will radiate heat but what we are mostly looking for here is again, moisture. Termites themselves are comprised of 90 % liquid and there would be 100's if not 1000's of them in or around the nest.

This surprisingly doesn't make the nest anymore easier to find as they are normally hidden in confined areas protected from predators. The bad news is that if we find a nest, depending upon the specie, it may only be a sub-nest.

Live in North Brisbane and found Termites? Do I need a Termite Inspection?

We need to check the extend of the Termite Activity and how the Termites have entered your house. We want to find out if there is a Termite Nest or a Termite Sub Nest in your house or around your yard.

The Termite Inspection (also known as a White Ant Inspection) will bring up conducive conditions around your house which can be fixed to lower the chance of termites in the future. This lowers your Termite Risk Factor. More information about conducive environments can be found on our Termite Barrier Page.

A Termite Treatment is fairly inexpensive and would normally range from $200 to $600. Remember if you do find Termites at your place do not disturb them. Good contact with a premium chemical (Termidor) is needed for effective treatment.
