WHAT A TERMITE INSPECTION LOOKS FOR
Evidence, Damage and Conditions That Increase Termite Risk
A good termite inspection is not limited to searching for live insects. It looks at signs of current and previous activity, damage and the building conditions that may contribute to future termite entry.
01
Active termite evidence
Live termites, mud leads, shelter tubes and other indications of current activity.
02
Previous termite damage
Historic timber damage, old workings and areas that warrant closer assessment.
03
Moisture and drainage
Damp areas, leaks and drainage conditions that can increase termite risk.
04
Conducive conditions
Timber-to-soil contact, restricted access, subfloor issues and other risk factors.
INSPECTION TOOLS & DIAGNOSTICS
Moisture and Thermal Tools Can Help Investigate Areas of Concern
Diagnostic tools can support a termite inspection by helping a technician investigate abnormal moisture, temperature patterns and concealed areas that deserve closer attention.
These tools are useful aids, but they do not replace professional interpretation, physical inspection and an understanding of termite behaviour and building construction.
If suspicious activity is found, the next step may be a more targeted assessment or an active termite treatment plan.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC INSPECTION
Different Buildings Present Different Termite Risks
Slab-on-ground homes, suspended floors, subfloors, extensions, retaining walls, paving and landscaped areas can all affect termite access and inspection visibility.
Where access allows, the inspection may consider internal areas, external perimeter zones, subfloor spaces and other relevant parts of the structure.
The purpose is to build a practical picture of the property so any recommendation is based on what is actually present rather than assuming every building needs the same treatment.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE INSPECTION?
The Findings Should Lead to a Clear Next Step
Depending on what is found, the recommendation may be no immediate treatment, targeted active-termite control, a chemical barrier, baiting and monitoring, or further investigation.

AFTER TERMITE TREATMENT
Annual Termite Inspections Remain an Important Part of Ongoing Protection
Installing a chemical barrier or completing active termite treatment does not eliminate the need for future inspections. Properties change over time, new moisture issues can develop and termites may approach from areas outside the original treatment scope.
Some product and warranty programs also require periodic inspections to remain valid. For example, annual inspections are required to maintain the Termidor Assurance Warranty.

Common Questions About Termite Inspections
When should I get a termite inspection?
Arrange an inspection if you see suspicious damage, mud leads or possible termite activity. Regular inspections are also important as part of ongoing termite management and after treatment.
What does a termite inspection look for?
A professional inspection looks for active termites, previous damage, mud leads, moisture, timber-to-soil contact, subfloor conditions, construction features and other relevant risk factors where accessible.
Does a termite inspection automatically include treatment?
No. The inspection identifies findings and risk factors. If treatment is required, the recommended treatment scope can then be discussed and quoted separately.
Can thermal imaging detect termites?
Thermal imaging can help investigate temperature anomalies or areas that deserve closer attention, but it does not by itself confirm termite activity. It is one diagnostic tool used alongside professional inspection and interpretation.
Why is moisture important during a termite inspection?
Moisture can create conditions that are more attractive or suitable for termite activity. Identifying leaks, damp areas and drainage issues can help explain termite risk and inform recommendations.
Do I still need inspections after a chemical barrier?
Yes. Regular termite inspections remain important after barrier installation and may also be required to maintain certain warranty conditions.
