Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect for concealed termite access where soil, mulch, paths or garden beds sit too high against walls, and where weep holes or vents are blocked. These are common “silent entry” zones that can let termites bypass visible inspection lines.
We assess bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and adjoining walls for moisture and timber damage. Leaks and poor ventilation can raise humidity and soften timbers, making them more attractive to termites and prone to fungal decay.
We check accessible subfloors for ant capping issues, bearers and joists, and signs of termite workings. In roof voids, we look for borer activity, damaged trusses, and pest nesting that can go unnoticed from living areas.
We inspect decks, pergolas, eaves, fascia boards, window frames and timber fences for borer holes, soft timbers and weathering that can mimic pest damage. Correct identification matters because treatment and repair priorities differ.
We locate moisture-prone zones around downpipes, overflow points, air-conditioning drains and poor site drainage. Termites are drawn to moisture, so documenting these areas helps you reduce risk even if no active pests are found.
For businesses, we check likely harbourage areas such as loading docks, roller door gaps, storerooms, kitchens/break rooms and waste areas. We note conditions that attract rodents, cockroaches and ants, plus practical exclusion and hygiene fixes.

Yes. Established gardens, irrigation, timber landscaping and decks can hold moisture and hide termite access points, especially where mulch or soil sits high against walls. During a Pest Inspection Melbourne in Scoresby, we focus on garden-to-wall contact, subfloor ventilation (if present), deck posts, pergola timbers and damp zones near downpipes. Reducing moisture and keeping inspection lines clear are key prevention steps.
We check accessible internal rooms, roof voids, subfloors (where accessible) and the external perimeter for termite activity, timber pest evidence, wood damage and moisture conditions that raise risk. We look for mud leads, hollow-sounding timber, borer holes, damp timbers and entry points around services. You receive a detailed report with photos, risk areas and recommended actions.
Most inspections take around 60–120 minutes depending on the size of the home or commercial site, access to roof voids and subfloors, and how many external structures need checking (decks, pergolas, fences and sheds). If access is restricted, we’ll note limitations in the report and explain what needs to be opened up or cleared to complete a fuller assessment.
Commercial sites can still face termite risk, particularly where there’s timber stored on-site, garden beds against walls, or persistent moisture around wash bays and drainage points. Warehouses can also have rodent and cockroach pressures around loading docks, break rooms and bin areas. A Scoresby pest inspection helps identify both active issues and the site conditions that attract pests.
Clear access to the manhole, subfloor entry (if you have one), and perimeter walls. Move stored items away from garage walls, laundry cupboards and under-sink areas so we can check moisture and timber. Outside, trim dense plants touching walls and remove objects leaning against the house. If you know of past leaks or termite treatments, share the details so we can target high-risk zones.
