Termite Inspections
Servicing Brisbane Southside, Logan & Western Suburbs Since 1972.
Professional Termite Inspections
Termites, commonly known as white ants, cause millions of dollars in property damage across Australia every year. Feeding on timber and other cellulose-based materials, termites often remain hidden behind walls, beneath floors and inside roof spaces, allowing significant damage to occur before they are discovered. One of the most destructive species found throughout Brisbane is Coptotermes acinaciformis, which lives underground and typically enters buildings through tiny cracks in concrete slabs, gaps around plumbing or utility penetrations, and other concealed entry points. Because termites avoid light and open air, professional inspections are essential for detecting activity before extensive damage occurs.
Advanced Termite Detection Technology
Our experienced technicians use proven inspection methods together with specialised equipment to accurately detect hidden termite activity.
Thermal Imaging
We use advanced thermal imaging technology during our termite inspections to detect temperature variations that may indicate hidden termite activity behind walls, ceilings and other concealed areas. This non-invasive technology allows us to identify potential problem areas that aren't visible to the naked eye, helping us locate termite infestations earlier and with greater accuracy.
Moisture Meter Testing
High moisture levels often create favourable conditions for termites. During every inspection, we use professional moisture metres to identify areas of elevated moisture behind walls and within other concealed spaces that may indicate termite activity or conditions likely to attract termites.
Termatrac Detection System
Where elevated moisture or suspicious areas are identified, we use the advanced Termatrac detection system. This technology uses low-energy microwave radar to detect termite movement inside walls and other inaccessible areas without causing unnecessary damage to your property. By combining traditional inspection methods with modern technology, we can provide a more comprehensive assessment of your property's condition.
Detailed Reports and Practical Recommendations
Following your termite inspection, you'll receive a comprehensive written report outlining our findings in clear, easy-to-understand language. Your report includes details of any active termite activity, evidence of previous infestations, conditions conducive to termite attack and recommendations for protecting your property. If termite treatment is required, we also provide a free, no-obligation quotation together with a tailored termite prevention plan. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and minimise the risk of future termite damage.
Ongoing Termite Protection
If termites are detected, Black & White Pest Control can provide effective treatment solutions to eliminate the infestation and protect your property. We commonly use proven external termite barrier systems and wall cavity treatments to provide long-lasting protection. All termite treatments include a complimentary 12-month service period, which can be extended for up to 10 years when your property remains on our annual inspection and maintenance program. Our maintenance program includes annual termite inspections and reapplication of treatment where required, giving homeowners ongoing confidence that their property remains protected.
Why Regular Termite Inspections Matter
Termites can remain active for months or even years before visible signs appear. Regular inspections allow hidden activity to be detected early, helping prevent expensive repairs and structural damage. Routine termite inspections are particularly important if your property:
- Has timber construction or landscaping.
- Has experienced previous termite activity.
- Is located in a high-risk termite area.
- Has not been professionally inspected within the past 12 months.
Early detection is the most effective way to minimise damage and protect your investment.
