Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections are designed to report on items such as visible timber decay, borer damage and the most important item, the presence and/or damage of Termites. This report is carried out under the strict guide lines of Australian Standards A.S 4349.1 1995 "Inspections to Buildings", and A.S 4349.3-1998 "Timber Pest Inspections". The inspector will highlight any areas of concern which may possibly allow Termites to access the structures on the property. If Termites are active on the property, or if there is a moderate risk they may attack the property, the inspector will indicate the most effective steps to undertake to rectify the concern. This may involve risk management such as treatments, removal of raised gardens, removal of stored timber, lowering of raised paths or even a combination of these items.
