Pest inspections are essential for protecting your Canberra home from termites, rodents, and seasonal pests. Preparing your home properly ensures the inspector can access all areas and identify potential issues effectively. Here’s how to get ready:
1. Clear Access to Key Areas
Ensure the inspector can access:
- The roof void
- Subfloor (if applicable)
- Garage and shed
- Perimeter of the house
- Interior walls, skirting boards, and cupboards
Move furniture, boxes, and clutter away from walls and corners.
2. Trim Vegetation Around the Property
Cut back bushes, trees, and grass around the foundation to allow proper external inspection. Overgrown plants can hide termite entry points or pest nests.
3. Fix Leaks and Moist Areas
Termites and pests are drawn to moisture. Repair:
- Leaky taps
- Damp walls
- Poor drainage near the home
4. Empty Cupboards & Storage Spaces
If you’ve had pest activity in the kitchen or pantry, empty the cupboards for a thorough inspection.
5. Secure Pets
Keep pets away from the inspection area to avoid disruption and ensure safety for both the pet and inspector.
6. Inform the Inspector
Let your pest inspector know about:
- Past pest issues
- Areas you’ve seen signs like droppings, wood damage, or mud tubes
Final Tip
A clean, accessible home allows a thorough and efficient inspection, giving you peace of mind and early detection of any issues.
