Termite Inspections

Whether you are looking to buy, sell or keep your home regularly checked, a Termite Inspection is highly recommended, especially in a high hazard zone like Queensland, where 1 in 3 homes are affected.

Termite damage can structurally run into thousands of dollars very quickly for the home owner. Early detection can prevent unnecessary heartache, stress and financial strain.

Here at LessPest we believe prevention is better than cure.

You should have your property inspected at least once a year, subject to conducive conditions around your dwelling.

LessPest is fully licensed & insured.

LessPest provides a comprehensive written report to the Australian Standards and is sent to you within 24 hours.

Termite Inspections:  from $190 GST inc.

If you have a Termite issue or need a yearly inspection, don’t delay. Call LessPest.

Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspections

A Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspection is only a small investment, which can save you from potentially losing thousands of dollars and at worst case; from buying a lemon!

We live in a high hazard area with 1 in every 3 homes having previously being affected by termite damage. We advise that you don’t listen to others and make sure you get a Pre-purchase Timber Pest Inspection done. Early detection can prevent unnecessary heartache, stress and financial strain on you and your family.

Termite Treatments

If you suspect or know you have termites in the home, do not disturb the affected area! Call LessPest immediately.

Types of treatment – Dusting, foaming, baiting, chemical & physical barriers.

*Termite inspection is mandatory before treatment can commence to assess the extent of termite infestation and meet the Australian Standard.

LessPest recommends after successful treatment, that all damaged timbers be replaced to meet the Australian Standard.

*Did you know that termites release a pheromone when they have found a good food supply (house timbers). When you have a successful eradication treatment done, it’s only part of the process complete. If you do not remove the damaged timbers with pheromones on them, it is a signal for other termites to invade; Like a map to a good coffee shop!

If you have a Termite issue or need a yearly inspection, don’t delay. Call LessPest.
