A licensed pest professional usually inspects accessible parts of your home, including the roof space, subfloor, external walls, garden areas and timber structures. They look for termites, mud tubes, timber damage and conditions that attract termites, and may use moisture meters or thermal equipment to investigate hidden areas. The inspection is generally non-invasive, so walls or flooring may not be opened unless you approve further investigation. You should receive a report outlining any evidence found, risk factors and recommended treatment or repairs; the provider can explain the inspection’s scope and limitations.
