      Signs Your Melbourne Property Needs Pest Inspection

      Understanding Pest Inspections in Melbourne

      As a property owner in Melbourne, ensuring your home is free from pests is crucial. Pest infestations can lead to significant damage and health risks. But how do you know when it's time to call in the experts? Here are some common signs that your property may need a professional pest inspection from ACE Building and Pest Inspections.

      1. Unusual Sounds

      If you hear scratching or scurrying noises, especially at night, it could indicate rodents or other pests in your walls or attic. These sounds are often the first sign of an infestation.

      2. Droppings

      Finding pest droppings is a clear indicator of a problem. Rodent droppings, for example, can often be found near food sources or nesting areas. Identifying and addressing the source of these droppings is essential.

      3. Visible Damage

      Look for signs of damage in your property, such as:

      • Chewed wires or insulation
      • Holes in walls or floors

      If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to consider a Pest Inspection Melbourne to assess the extent of the damage and the presence of pests.

      4. Nesting Material

      Pests like rodents often create nests using materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or insulation. Finding these materials in your home can be a strong indication of an infestation.

      5. Unpleasant Odours

      Strange smells can signify a pest problem. For example, a musty smell might indicate a rodent issue, while a foul smell could suggest dead pests or a larger infestation.

      6. Sightings of Pests

      Seeing pests, whether it be ants, cockroaches, or termites, is a clear sign that you need to act. Termites, in particular, can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, making it crucial to address any sightings immediately. ACE Building and Pest Inspections offers a thorough Termite & Timber Pest Inspection to identify and mitigate these risks.

      The Importance of Timely Inspections

      According to the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association, 1 in 3 Australian homes will experience a termite infestation at some point. Early detection through regular inspections can save you thousands in repairs and protect your investment.
