Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a pest inspection before buying a house in Darwin?
Yes — Darwin’s tropical climate creates perfect conditions for termites, ants, cockroaches, and rodents. A pre-purchase pest inspection can uncover hidden pest activity that may not be visible during a standard building inspection. Many pest issues, like termite damage, can be expensive and aren’t always apparent until it’s too late. An inspection ensures you understand the actual condition of the property before committing.
What happens during a pre purchase pest inspection?
A qualified technician will inspect all accessible areas of the property, including inside, outside, roof voids, subfloors, and gardens. They check for active pests, evidence of past infestations, and any environmental conditions that might attract pests, such as moisture, timber in contact with soil, or structural gaps. After the inspection, you’ll receive a written report with photos, findings, and expert recommendations.
Can a pest inspection detect termites?
Yes, termite detection is a key part of a pre-purchase pest inspection in Darwin. Technicians use tools like moisture meters, sounding devices, and thermal imaging (if needed) to detect signs of termite activity. They also check for conducive conditions like damp areas, timber damage, or mud tubes — all of which may suggest current or past termite presence.
