PEST INSPECTIONS
Our inspector, Clinton, will identify whether the property has any past, current or potential pest issues. Pests such as termites, wood borers, mould and fungus’ can cause thousands of dollars of damage to your property and put the sale of your house at risk. Clinton will offer advice on rectification and prevention.
Termites can cause serious damage to homes and cost homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs, resulting in the loss of re-sale value to homes that have a history of past damage. We highly recommend a pest inspection when purchasing a property in and around Queensland and the Fraser Coast region.
What happens during a pest inspection?
Most commonly Clinton looks for signs of moisture, which attracts wood-destroying insects like termites. He also looks for visual pest activity, like droppings, discarded wings, tunnelling and mudding.
At Saurus Constructions we use tools to help Clinton carry out his thorough Pest inspection such as:
Probe/tapping device
The probe is used to tap the architraves, skirtings, window reveals and frames, door jambs and other timbers for termite damage.
Moisture meter
Termites live in a high moisture environment so a moisture meter can pick up termite activity.
Thermal image camera
A thermal camera is used to scan the walls for “hot” or “cold” spots during the pest inspection. The camera measures the surface temperature of materials and displays the temperature on the screen.
Beau Brown
Beau Brown is our termite detection Dog (in training) to perform pest inspections.
Beau is currently involved in a correspondence program with handler Rebecca Bargenquast.
We will keep you up to date when he officially joins the staff!
Please call Saurus Constructions for more information or to book your pest inspection.
