Pest Inspections in Campbelltown

The Macarthur region has one of the highest termite activity rates in Greater Sydney. Whether you own an established home in Ingleburn, a brand-new build in Oran Park, or a rural property near Camden, regular professional inspections are essential to identify pest activity before it becomes a costly problem.

Termite Inspections for Campbelltown Properties

Australian Standard AS 4349.3 recommendsĀ annual termite inspectionsĀ for all properties – and more frequent inspections for homes in high-risk areas. Given Campbelltown’s termite-conducive environment (bushland proximity, river corridors, former agricultural land), we strongly advise all property owners in this region follow this standard.

Our Campbelltown termite inspections include:

Comprehensive Internal Assessment:

  • All accessible rooms, built-in wardrobes, and storage areas
  • Skirting boards, architraves, door frames, and window frames
  • Wet areas (bathrooms, laundry, kitchen) where moisture attracts termites
  • Subfloor inspection via access hatches
  • Roof void examination where safe access exists

Full External Property Survey:

  • Building perimeter including foundation, weep holes, and expansion joints
  • Garden beds, retaining walls, and landscaping against the structure
  • Trees, stumps, and timber within the property boundary
  • Fencing (particularly timber fences common in Campbelltown backyards)
  • Sheds, garages, pergolas, and any detached structures

Advanced Detection Technology:Ā Standard visual inspections have limitations – termites operate concealed within timbers and wall cavities. Our technicians use professional equipment to detect activity invisible to the naked eye:

  • Thermal imaging cameras – Identify temperature variations caused by termite activity within walls
  • Moisture meters – Detect elevated moisture levels that attract termites and indicate potential entry points
  • Borescope cameras – Inspect inside wall cavities through small access points without destructive investigation’

Pre-Purchase Inspections for Campbelltown Buyers

Purchasing a property in the Macarthur region? A pre-purchase pest and timber inspection is essential before you commit – and could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Why pre-purchase inspections matter in Campbelltown:

The region’s rapid development means many homes were built quickly during housing booms. We regularly find:

  • Inadequate termite barriers – Some builders installed minimum-standard physical barriers without chemical soil treatments
  • Construction debris left in subfloors – Timber offcuts provide food sources for termites
  • Poor drainage – Directing moisture toward foundations
  • Vegetation planted against walls – Creating concealed termite pathways

Our pre-purchase inspection report includes:

  • Active pest infestations identified
  • Evidence of previous termite damage or treatment
  • Conditions conducive to timber pest attack
  • Recommendations for further investigation if required
  • Photographic evidence of all findings

Reports are typically delivered withinĀ 24 hours, allowing you to make informed decisions during the purchase process. We work with buyers, conveyancers, and building inspectors throughout Campbelltown, Camden, and the broader Macarthur region.

Post-Inspection: What Happens Next?

If no termite activity is found:Ā You’ll receive a clear written report documenting our findings. We’ll note any conditions conducive to termite attack (drainage issues, timber-to-soil contact, vegetation concerns) and provide recommendations to reduce future risk.

If termites are detected:Ā Don’t panic – early detection is the best outcome. We’ll explain exactly what we’ve found, show you evidence on-site, and provide a detailed treatment proposal. Options typically include:

  • Direct colony treatment – Applying termiticide or bait directly to active termites
  • Chemical soil barrierĀ (Termidor, Premise) – Creating a protective zone around your property
  • Baiting and monitoring system – Ongoing colony elimination and monitoring

We never pressure you into immediate treatment decisions. Take our report, get a second opinion if you wish, and make an informed choice.
