Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect external walls, slab edges, weep holes, step-downs, verandahs and garden-to-wall contact to identify likely termite entry routes. This matters in Kingsville where tight boundaries, garden beds and hard landscaping can conceal access points and reduce visual inspection zones.
Where the property has a subfloor, we check stumps, bearers, joists and ant caps for termite activity, timber decay and conducive moisture. Older Kingsville homes with timber floors can show early warning signs below the house before anything appears inside.
We look for damp areas and leaks that can attract termites and contribute to timber decay, including around bathrooms, laundries, hot water units, downpipes and drainage points. Moisture issues often explain why termites target a specific wall, corner or extension.
We check accessible roof void areas for evidence of termite leads, damaged timbers, fungal decay and pest entry points around penetrations. Roof framing can be affected without obvious ceiling stains, especially where ventilation is poor or past leaks have occurred.
We document tell-tale signs such as mud tubing, frass, hollow-sounding timbers, rippling paint, damaged skirtings and borer holes, and we assess whether activity appears current or historical. Clear identification helps you prioritise treatment versus repair.
We assess stored timber, deck posts, pergolas, fences, sleeper walls and sheds for contact points and decay that can support termite foraging. In Kingsville, rear-yard structures and close-set boundaries can create hidden timber-to-soil contact that needs correction.

Yes. Renovations often add new junctions where timbers meet older structures, and some areas become concealed behind cladding, decks or built-in cabinetry. Termites can also exploit moisture around bathrooms, laundries or rear extensions. A pest inspection checks both original and renovated areas, focusing on concealed timber, subfloor access points and moisture conditions that can trigger activity.
The inspection focuses on termite detection, timber pest evidence and conditions that attract pests. We assess accessible interior and exterior areas, risk zones around the perimeter, subfloor and roof void where safe and accessible, and we check for moisture issues linked to timber damage. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining findings, photos where relevant, and practical recommendations for treatment or prevention.
For many properties, an annual inspection is a sensible baseline because termite activity can develop between seasons, especially where moisture levels change. If your Kingsville home has a history of termites, extensive timber, a damp subfloor, or recent landscaping against the house, you may need more frequent monitoring. We’ll advise an interval based on the specific risks found on site.
In most cases, yes. We work through all accessible areas and pay close attention to the perimeter where visibility is limited by fences, sheds or garden beds. If any zones can’t be accessed safely or are obstructed, we note the limitations in the report and recommend practical ways to improve access for future inspections, because concealed perimeters can increase termite risk.
If we find evidence consistent with active termites or high-risk conditions, we’ll clearly state that and outline the recommended next steps, which may include urgent treatment and follow-up monitoring. If we find only conducive conditions or old damage, we’ll explain the likely significance and what to do next. The goal is a decision you can act on, not guesswork.
