How Often Should You Get a Termite Inspection?

Termite damage can destroy your homes and repairs are time-consuming and expensive. Regular termite inspections are vital to follow to keep your home safe from this secret threat. But how frequent should you bring in a professional for a termite inspection exactly?

While some say the inspection should be done annually, there is no magic number for how often it should occur. Because of Australia’s ideal termite-friendly climate, it’s almost impossible to know when the pests can invade your home and cause damage that’s not immediately visible.

Annual Termite Inspection: Your First Line of Defence

An annual inspection by termites is the best home fence. Termites are all about getting the job done quietly, efficiently and aggressively with tremendous damage that happens. Booking in for an annual termite inspection is important in order for professionals to inspect for termites before they become a major problem.

Termites are wood-eating and nest-dwelling insects, needing food (wood) and moisture to keep their nests moist. These are the ideal conditions from which homeowners can protect their properties by eliminating them.

A professional will inspect for the presence of termites – wood damage and mud tubes, leftover wings and such. By catching termites early you can prevent them from starting a colony in your house thus saving you money.

Presence of Termite Infestation Nearby

If your neighbor is infested, it is a good idea to ask for a termite inspection because these insects will travel to distances of 200 metres from their original colony to form new ones. If ever the house close by is definitely ridden having termites there's a significant note of warning that your residence may become infected because of the pests.
