Termite Inspections Perth

Comprehensive Building Inspections

Do you need an annual termite inspection for your residential or commercial property? We are here to help you. Eco Pest Control Perth has experts to perform examinations for all property types.

A termite infestation can compromise the structural integrity of your home without you realising it. These destructive pests can chew through thousands of dollars’ worth of wood rot, hidden from view. That’s why it’s important to get a professional timber pest inspection done by a licenced technician to keep your property protected.

The main reason to get your building checked is to avoid expensive repair bills. In Australia, insurance companies do not cover the costs of termite damage because it is regarded as a foreseeable and preventable problem.

A thorough and well-executed assessment of your Perth city home or business can save you a lot of money by detecting a problem before it becomes a significant issue.

What Is A Termite Inspection?

It is exactly what it sounds like – an investigation process to see whether they are currently present in your home or your business premises. As a premier pest control company in the city of Perth and surrounding areas, we conduct checkups in accordance with Australian Standards AS 3660.2-2000.

This rigorous national standard code of practice establishes and recommends industry best practices for the management of termites in and around properties. It advises residents or homeowners to have their homes inspected for the presence of termites at least once every twelve months.

When you need an annual inspection, you need a company you can trust, and we have got you covered.

Areas We Inspect

Our comprehensive termite inspection services determine if there is any evidence of the wood-destroying insects inside or outside your home. Signs that your Perth property could be under attack include discarded wings, droppings, peeling paint, small holes in walls, mud tunnels, and moisture that promotes termite activity.

Interior areas: Internal walls, ceilings, skylights, timber cabinets, floors, ventilation, roof voids, architraves, basement areas, door jambs, and more.

Exterior areas: Soil, garden beds, landscaping, roofing battens, beams and trusses, down piping and gutters, dead trees, stumps, fence posts, and more.

Tools We Use

To identify them and discover their activity, our experts use a variety of essential tools and advanced methods.

• Moisture meters – help locate moisture in various materials that could be an indicator that you have subterranean termites.
• Thermal imaging camera – infrared technology that detect heat signatures from invaders, allowing the examiner to ´see´ behind walls and posts.
• Tapper – a simple telescopic-looking piece of equipment that’s run along skirting boards and other wooden structures. Changes in tone may be a hint of related timber damage.
• Torch – a high-powered torch to shed light on the darkest corners of attics, basements, and other areas.
• Termatrac – a non-invasive termite detection device that encompasses an advanced moisture testing sensor, detection radar, and remote thermal sensor.

What Happens If We Find Termites at Home?

If we discover evidence of activity, we’ll ascertain the extent of the infestation, then provide you with recommendations about the next steps to take. This can include live treatments such as installing chemical barriers and specific systems. We will also give you a free, no-obligation quote.

Our Effective Termite Protection Services

We tailor our termite treatment plan to your needs. They are designed to eliminate bugs and stop fresh attacks from occurring.

Termite Barrier

One of the most effective ways to eliminate live pests and prevent future invasions is with a chemical barrier, a solution that remains active for up to eight years. With this preventive approach, we’ll dig a trench around your property and create a treated zone by filling it with Termidor. This is a low-toxicity pesticide that targets and kills pests and avoids structural damage.

After exposure to the toxin, it is said to be infected. It does not die straight away. Instead, it unwittingly carries the termiticide back to its colony, spreading it to other termites through shared grooming and feeding. This has the effect of wiping out an entire colony in a short period of time. Being a low-toxicity pesticide, Termidor is powerful enough to affect them but not enough to cause any harm to wildlife.

Termite Baiting

Among the other powerful tools in our arsenal to deal with infestations in the city are baiting systems. These are cylindrical devices with lockable caps that are placed in the ground at regular intervals around a property. Inside each one is a food source and an attractant that draws in the insects.

Our qualified technician will monitor the baits and once they have attracted a large number of termites, will add an insecticide that contains cellulose. They mistake this for food and continue eating.

When the insects return to their nest, they spread the poison by feeding it to their young and through their faecal matter or fungal decay, which is ingested by others. Eventually, the poison spreads and kills off the entire nest.

As with chemical barriers, the solutions do not harm children or wildlife.
