Compare one area with another
The two areas do not need to be identical. You might compare one kitchen cabinet with the next or one section of a storeroom with another. An affected wall and the opposite side of the room can also be useful to compare.
Tell us what is happening in the first area and what is different nearby. This gives the technician two practical reference points without asking you to identify the pest.
Tell us what makes the affected area different
Describe what you saw, heard or found in ordinary words. Mention when it first appeared, whether it has returned and whether it stays in the same place.
Small details can help. One area may contain stored food, timber, cardboard, water or an appliance while the comparison area does not. If you already have a clear photo, send it along, but it is not needed to get started.
The visit uses both reference points
The technician begins with the affected area, then checks the comparison area and other relevant places that can be reached. We will explain the findings before recommending what should happen next.
When treatment is appropriate, we will outline the work, preparation and advice for afterwards. For a rental, managed property or workplace, tell us who can provide access. Let us know if either area is locked or in regular use.
If the difference could involve termites
If you find live termites or mud-like workings, leave the area undisturbed. Do not spray them or break the workings open.
During a termite inspection, the technician checks the relevant accessible areas for signs of activity. We will explain the findings and discuss the treatment or management options for the property.
