From our experience the Pest Report is the most commonly ordered type of report. Timber destructive pests such as termites or borers can cause extensive damage to buildings in a short period of time and are difficult to detect as they usually exist in areas that are difficult to see.
The Pest Reports details not only termites, borer and vermin activity but also wood rot, dampness and ventilation.
A Pest Report is usually a condition of approval for finance by the lending authorities. The Pest Inspection Report issued by us will satisfy this condition and allow finance to be arranged.
This Report is confined to reporting on the discovery, or non discovery, of infestation and/or damage caused by subterranean and dampwood termites (white ants), borers of seasoned timber and wood decay fungi (hereinafter referred to as “Timber Pests”), present on the date of the Inspection.
