A pre-purchase pest inspection in Perth plays a vital role in helping homebuyers make informed decisions. Given Perth’s high risk for termite activity and other pest infestations, having a thorough inspection before settlement can save you from unexpected repair costs and long-term property damage. The inspection report highlights any existing pest problems, such as termite activity, rodent infestations, or cockroach presence, along with their impact on the structure. It also outlines minor and major property defects caused by pests, providing a cost estimate for necessary repairs.
Additionally, a detailed inspection reveals signs of previous pest control treatments and whether these have left any hidden damage. It also assesses the property’s risk for future infestations based on environmental conditions, timber usage, or poor ventilation. Moisture issues, including hidden leaks or mould growth, are identified during the process, as these often attract termites and other pests.
These silent destroyers feed on wood, weakening foundations and frames, leading to costly repairs. A professional pest inspection helps detect them early.
Cockroaches carry allergens and food contaminants, which can trigger asthma symptoms and contaminate food, posing a health risk to you and your family.
Spiders, especially venomous ones like the Redback or Funnel-web, can pose health risks. However, most spiders found in Australia are harmless to humans.
Ants are troublesome pests, particularly in kitchens and pantries searching for food. While they typically don’t cause structural damage.
Bed bugs are elusive pests that can infest homes, causing itchy bites and restlessness. They're most common in hotels, apartments, and shared living spaces.
Wasps build nests in wall cavities, attics, and eaves. While they play a role in the ecosystem, their nests can be dangerous to your family or employees due to their stings.
Rats and mice can damage electrical wiring, insulation, and contaminate food. They are also known to spread diseases such as Salmonella, and Leptospirosis.
They thrive in damp environments like basements & bathrooms, making them hard to spot. An inspection helps identify these pests before they cause damage.
Pets often bring fleas into the home, and it doesn’t take long for them to infest. Not only are they annoying due to their bites, but they can also transmit diseases.
