Three details help narrow the search
Start with what happened, where it happened and when you noticed it. The answer might be as simple as a sound above the bedroom after dark, ants beside the pet food each morning or a cockroach seen twice near the dishwasher.
You do not need to decide which pest is responsible. Those three details give the technician a clear starting point, especially when the activity is brief or has disappeared by the time of the visit.
What the inspection can clarify
The technician begins where the sign was seen or heard. They can then check nearby accessible areas that may help explain the problem. This might involve looking around the affected cupboard, inspecting an accessible part of the roof space connected to a reported noise or checking the area around an entry where activity keeps returning.
Afterwards, we will explain what was found, which areas need attention and what is recommended next.
Know what needs to happen before treatment
If treatment is recommended, we will describe the proposed work before it begins. You will be told whether cupboards need to be cleared, belongings need to be moved or access needs to be arranged for a particular part of the property.
That may help a homeowner prepare the affected room, give a property manager clear information for a tenant, or allow a business to make a storeroom or work area available. We will also discuss what to expect after the service and whether any follow-up is appropriate.
Do not disturb possible termite activity
If you find live termites or mud-like workings, leave the area undisturbed. Do not spray them or break the workings open.
A termite inspection allows the technician to check the areas that can be safely accessed for signs of activity, explain the findings and discuss suitable treatment or management options for the property.
