Why Building Pest Inspections Are Crucial

Protect Property Value

Preserving property value is achievable with regular pest inspections, as they help detect pest problems early. Addressing infestations before they escalate helps maintain your property in top condition and protects its market value.

Prevent Health Risks

Rodents, cockroaches, and termites can spread diseases between properties, as well as produce allergens. Building inspections help detect harmful pests, protecting residents from infections, allergies, and asthma caused by pest contaminants.

Save Money on Repairs

Identifying pest problems early through building pest inspections prevents costly damage repairs. Early intervention with termite infestations and water damage can result in significant savings on future repair expenses.

What We Inspect During a Building Pest Inspection

Termite
Damage

Our team looks for termite damage extensively during a building pest inspection. Often undetectable for extended periods, termites can seriously undermine structural integrity.

Rodent Infestations

Rats and mice, along with other rodent species, can cause significant damage to structural components, insulation, and electrical wiring. Our inspection looks for droppings, nests, and points of entry.

Mould & Damp Issues

Mould and damp conditions, often resulting from moisture build-up, provide ideal environments for pests to thrive. Our assessment looks for obvious mould, dampness on walls and ceilings, and poorly ventilated areas.

Common Pests Found During Building Inspections

Termites

Highly destructive, termites can discreetly compromise the integrity of your property. Their consumption of wood, insulation, and paper goods weakens the foundation and structure of your building.

Rodents

By gnawing through electrical lines, insulation, and wood, rats and mice can cause considerable damage. Our inspectors will search for evidence of rodent activity, including nesting sites, droppings, and gnaw marks.

Cockroaches

More than just an eyesore, cockroaches are known to spread germs and allergens that could compromise health. We search for signs of a cockroach infestation in hidden areas, including under appliances, within walls, and in basements during our inspections to ensure a hygienic and safe property.

Spiders

Spiders, though annoying, can cause health issues through their bites. We check for spider nests and webs in basements, attics, and hidden corners. Detecting and eliminating spider infestations enhances the safety of your property.

Ants

Ant infestations often go unnoticed until they become a significant problem. Our inspectors look for trails and nests, particularly near food supplies and within walls. Addressing ant problems early ensures they don’t turn into a regular issue and prevents long-term damage to your property.

Wasps and Bees

Wasps and bees can become aggressive if disturbed, posing risks to residents. Our inspection identifies nests in difficult-to-reach places such as under rooftops and eaves. Safe removal of these insects is crucial to prevent stings and ensure the safety of everyone in the building.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a common issue for both homes and businesses. They are well-known for infesting mattresses, furniture, and soft goods. Our inspection looks for signs of bed bugs, such as blood spots, shed skins, and live insects, to ensure a thorough treatment plan.

Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks, common pests that affect pets and can cause diseases in humans, are another focus. We inspect areas frequented by pets, such as furniture, beds, and carpets. Early detection of these pests protects your family’s health and prevents further infestations.

Not Included

Our pre-purchase inspection reports are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s condition. However, certain areas are not included in the standard inspection:

Townhouses

In townhouses, we inspect shared walls, ceilings, and potential entry points for termites. Since townhouses share common areas with neighbouring properties, detecting and addressing termite issues before they spread is critical.
