Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the full accessible perimeter for termite leads, bridging over weep holes, concealed entry points at pipe penetrations, and timber-to-ground contact at steps, decks and fence lines—common access routes on larger Wonga Park blocks.
Where a subfloor is accessible, we check ant caps, stumps, bearers and joists for mudding, soft timber and fungal decay. We also look for poor ventilation and damp ground that can create ideal termite conditions.
We look for signs of timber pest activity in roof framing such as exit holes, frass, staining and damaged members. Termites can travel up concealed wall cavities, so checking upper timbers helps confirm whether activity is widespread.
We use moisture detection to identify areas that attract termites and decay fungi, including bathrooms, laundries, hot water services, around air-con drains and external taps. Moisture issues often explain why timber pests persist or return.
Decks, pergolas, carports, sleepers and sheds are inspected for borer damage, decay and termite susceptibility. These structures are frequently the first place activity shows up before it reaches the main dwelling.
We check for visible signs of prior termite management such as barriers, drill marks and bait stations, and we note conditions that can reduce their effectiveness—like soil build-up, paving changes, or garden beds covering critical inspection zones.

They can be. Wonga Park’s leafy setting, larger gardens and timber landscaping can create shaded, damp zones where termites stay concealed. Trees don’t cause termites, but they can contribute to moisture and timber debris around the home. Our inspection focuses on hidden entry points, subfloor conditions, and external features like decks, sleepers and fence lines that commonly provide access.
We look for evidence consistent with timber borers and other timber pests, along with decay-related damage that can be confused with pest activity. That includes exit holes, frass (powdery dust), weakened timber fibres and affected framing or joinery. We also assess moisture conditions because damp timber can worsen damage and make structures more attractive to pests over time.
We can identify strong indicators and high-risk zones, and we use tools to help detect activity without unnecessary damage. Termites often travel in concealed galleries, so we look for indirect signs such as mudding, moisture anomalies, surface distortions and damage patterns. If we suspect concealed activity, we’ll recommend practical next steps to confirm it safely.
Yes. Add-ons, verandahs, and older sections can create joins and gaps that termites exploit, especially where timbers are close to ground or where drainage has changed over time. We pay close attention to the interface between old and new work, subfloor ventilation, wet-area plumbing, and external landscaping that may have raised soil levels against the building.
Annual inspections are a common recommendation in high termite-risk parts of Australia, but the right frequency depends on your property’s conditions. If you have heavy garden beds against walls, subfloor dampness, timber decks, or recent landscaping changes, more frequent checks may be sensible. We’ll outline a schedule based on what we observe during your inspection.
