Pest Inspection Adelaide

Q: How long does an inspection usually take?

The time required depends on the size of the property and whether any signs of pest activity are found. Most homes can be inspected within one to two hours, while larger homes or commercial premises may take longer. Your inspector will carry out a thorough assessment and explain any findings before leaving.

Q: Do I need to leave the property during the inspection?

In most cases, no. You're welcome to stay while the inspection is carried out. Many customers prefer to remain on site so the inspector can explain any issues, answer questions and provide practical advice on protecting the property from future pest problems.

Q: What happens if pests are found?

If evidence of pest activity is discovered, your inspector will explain what has been found, how serious the issue appears to be and the options available. Where treatment is recommended, you'll receive clear advice so you can decide on the most suitable solution for your home or business.

Q: Can commercial properties be inspected?

Yes. We inspect a wide range of commercial premises, including offices, warehouses, retail stores, hospitality venues and other workplaces. Every property is different, so we'll tailor our approach to suit the type of business and any specific concerns you may have.

Q: How often should my property be checked?

The ideal frequency depends on your property, surrounding environment and previous pest activity. Many homeowners choose to arrange regular inspections as a preventative measure, while businesses may require more frequent visits to help meet industry standards and protect staff, customers and stock.

Q: What can I do to prepare before the inspection?

There is very little preparation required. If possible, ensure the inspector has access to areas such as the roof space, subfloor, garage and external walls. Moving stored items away from access points can also help make the inspection more thorough and efficient.

Pest Inspection Adelaide – What Pests Are Covered?

During a pest inspection, we’ll look for signs of common pests including termites, cockroaches, ants, rodents, spiders and other unwanted pests. If we identify evidence of an infestation, we’ll explain our findings and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Pests we commonly inspect for in Adelaide include:

Are Termites Included in a Pest Inspection?

Yes. Termites are included in our pest inspections because they are one of the most destructive pests found in Australian homes, so they’re a major focus of many pest inspections.

However, while a general pest inspection can identify obvious signs of termite activity, a dedicated termite inspection is far more comprehensive and is specifically designed to detect concealed termite activity, damage and conditions that may attract termites.

If we discover evidence of termites during your pest inspection, we’ll explain our findings and recommend the most appropriate next step. This may include arranging a dedicated termite inspection or discussing suitable treatment options where required.
