Pest Inspections in Lidcombe

Buying Property in Lidcombe?

Lidcombe’s property market moves fast. Older fibro cottages near the station sell alongside newer townhouses and apartments near Olympic Park – and each comes with different risks. A pre-purchase pest and termite inspection tells you what you’re actually buying before you sign.

What we look for:

Active termite infestations or evidence of past damage. In Lidcombe’s older homes, termites often enter through subfloors or where timber meets soil. We check foundations, flooring, door frames, window frames, and roof timbers for signs of current or historical activity.

Conditions that attract future problems. High moisture areas, poor drainage, timber stored against external walls, dense garden beds against the house – these create termite-friendly environments even if there’s no current infestation. We identify risks so you can factor repairs into your offer or walk away informed.

Pest activity that sellers may not disclose. Rodent droppings in roof voids, cockroach activity in kitchens, wasp nests in eaves – issues that might not appear during a standard building inspection but will become your problem after settlement.

After the inspection: You’ll receive a detailed written report within 24 hours, outlining what we found, the severity of any issues, and recommended next steps. Take it to your solicitor, use it in negotiations, or simply have peace of mind that you know what you’re buying.

Annual Pest Inspections for Existing Lidcombe Homeowners

Already own property in Lidcombe? Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends annual termite inspections for all homes – and Lidcombe’s mix of older housing stock and established gardens makes this especially relevant.

An annual inspection catches problems early, before termites cause structural damage that costs thousands to repair. We keep records of each inspection, so over time you build a documented history of your property’s condition – useful for insurance claims, renovations, or future sale.

If it’s been more than 12 months since your last inspection, now is the time to book.
