Termite inspections are absolutely imperative to ensure that termite incursion does not happen. There is no method of termite treatment that will work without termite inspections being carried out. In Australia we have standards of workmanship that are often dictated by a series of documents named Australian Standards. The Australian standards for termite control, point out that whenever you have installed a termite management system you must have
a termite inspection carried out each twelve months or more regularly where the risk is higher.
A termite inspection when carried out properly must include very close inspection of the following.
- The exterior of the property
- The under floor (sub floor) area
- The interior
- The roof void
All of these areas need to be inspected thoroughly and in conjunction with each other. To inspect a part of a house only gives a part of a picture. The Australian standard is a very good read when you need to know how best to inspect or what you should expect from a
termite inspector.
Remember CHEAP = NASTY
Do not skimp you will get what you pay for!
