Termite Inspection Gold Coast

Gold Coast Termite Management

Did you know that 1 in 3 Gold Coast properties will succumb to termite infestation during its lifecycle? Well, did you also know that insurance companies don’t cover damages to a structure caused by them?

Therefore, whatever damage termites cause to your property will be your burden to bear and yours alone. But, at Eco Pest Control Gold Coast, we can help you avoid it with a building inspection.

Termites are destructive pests. If you let them, they will cause unexpected damage to your home. This is why the Australian government, through Australian Standards AS 3660.2-2000, recommends that property owners check for signs of termite activities at least once a year and more if their home is located in a high-risk area.

Who are they for, and why are they important?

An annual termite inspection is for all homeowners. Also, if you live in a part of the city where active termites are a regular headache, you may need to inspect your property monthly or every two months. Regardless, it can be the difference between thousands of dollars in structural damage and a quick-fix solution.

What if termites are found?

  • Softness or brown stain in lower walls
  • Termite noise

Our professionals will come over to inspect your property for signs of termite activity. If they are found, we don’t immediately recommend a treatment plan. Instead,

  • First of all, we will identify the type of termites found in your property.
  • Next, we will assess the extent of the infestation.

Upon successful identification of the type of termites and the extent of the infestation, our Gold Coast pest inspector can proceed to recommend an extermination plan. For example, if we detect them live, we will immediately take action and spray them to reduce the risk of extensive damage to home. We stock our service vehicles with the required tools and equipment for pest control.

If we don’t discover live termites during our inspection, we will proceed to recommend either of the following termite treatment services:

  • Termite barriers
  • Termite baiting system
  • Recommend preventive measures
