Termites in the fence line, not the house
Why a pest inspection on a slab home spends so much time in the garden.
AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3 together, so the house and its timber pest risk are read in one visit.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
The building component follows AS 4349.1 and the timber pest component follows AS 4349.3. Both are visual inspections of readily accessible areas; the pest inspection reports activity, damage and conditions conducive to timber pests and does not treat.

Subterranean termites are found across Melbourne's west, and we record them in fences and garden timbers on established properties. A slab home is not immune; the colony simply has to come in from the edges.
No. AS 4349.3 work stops at finding and recording; it never includes treatment. If activity is found, the report recommends a licensed pest manager and treatment options are theirs to advise on.
No inspector can. The inspection records what was visible and accessible on the day and the conditions that raise the risk.
Paving or garden soil built up over the weep holes and slab edge hides the inspection zone, so termites can enter the wall unseen. We record where that has happened.
Electrical, gas and plumbing testing, appliances, pools, asbestos and mould testing, invasive drilling or opening of walls, and any treatment. Concealed timbers, areas behind stored goods and inaccessible roof spaces are listed as not inspected.
