Pest inspections need to be carried out if one wants to prevent their homes from structural damage caused by termites and other such pests. In areas which are usually prone to pest infestations, the checks need to be carried out on a yearly basis as a preventive measure.

If you haven’t had a pest inspection done before you might be wondering what happens during the inspection. During a pest inspection you can expect all of the following:

Outdoor inspection

Initially the technician would carry out an outdoor inspection. The exterior of the home is carefully examined to check for signs of pest infestation. They might check for small holes in the walls and examine the cracks. Another thing they would look out for are insect nests or termite mud tubes. These are a sure fire way of knowing that the infestation would also have set inside the home.

Indoor inspection

The interior of the home is then checked for the presence of pests like ants, mice, roaches and termites. They would take a look at the base boards and also inside the cabinets. These are the very places which indicate the presence of pests, usually through signs of pest droppings and other such traces. Areas such as crawl places recovered during the inspection as well, including the basement as well as the roofing of the house.

Normally infestations remain undetected in spaces like the attic or the basement because these are not used on a regular basis. Basements are places here I is common to find spiders and other insects like silver fish etc. while these critters are generally harmless and are no way responsible or structural damage to one’s home but the sight of them is enough to send anyone running. The experts would suggest remedies like keeping vegetation away from the base of the home and sealing off all cracks and spaces inside the walls.

Apart from these pests like rodents and termites can cause damage to the cabling of the home as well. This is why yearly inspections can help catch the infestation earlier on and prevent any kind of structural damage.

Recommendations for managing the infestation

Once the technician comes across any sign of infestation they would suggest the necessary maintenance tips for handling it safely and effectively. They would also suggest the necessary repairs which are required to make sure the damage can be curtailed it its place and for prevention of further damage.

Strategies like advanced termite control, roach preventive fumigation and setting traps to catch the rodents would be used. I actually depends on the extent of the problem how often a pest inspection should take place. If there is already an underlying issue, experts suggest inspections every six months or so.

When hiring a professional inspection tea, make sure you hire someone who comes well recommended. Choose reliable pest inspections on the Gold Coast to help you prevent your home from problems. Regular pest inspections in Gold Coast are the best way to prevent insects and rodents from invading your space.
