FAQ

Building and Pest Inspections in Gledswood Hills: common questions

What is the durable notice?

A permanent notice, usually in the meter box, recording which termite management system was installed, by whom and what maintenance it needs. It is required under AS 3660 and it is the only record you will have.

Do you treat termites?

No. We inspect and report under AS 4349.3. Treatment and the warranty that comes with it are the work of a licensed pest controller.

Can you guarantee the house is clear?

No inspector honestly can. Termites work concealed inside timber, so the report describes evidence found on the day and the conditions that encourage them.
