Check the roof void, subfloor, external walls, weep holes, skirting boards, door and window frames, and areas around plumbing for mud tubes, discarded wings, hollow timber, bubbling paint or dampness. Also inspect garden beds, mulch, tree stumps, stored timber and leaking taps near the building, keeping soil and materials clear of the structure where possible. Record any signs, moisture readings, damaged areas and changes since the previous inspection, and take clear photos. A licensed pest professional should carry out a thorough annual inspection and recommend treatment or monitoring based on the property’s condition.
