Don't take the risk. If you're at all suspect of ANY termite activity whatsoever then you need to call in the pro's for a pre-purchase inspection, also known as a PPI for short. If you've got your heart set on purchasing a new home, be it an older structure or a modern one, and you want that peace of mind, then you should definitely call in a professional to give you that peace of mind. Take advantage of the experience the pest control professionals have gained after working for years in the field.
PPI's if conducted by the right company are fully insured through professional indemnity insurance which is excellent for peace of mind, even if termites aren't found during the inspection. As an industry that suffers from multi millions of dollars in damages each year, it makes sense when ensuring the safety of your family home. Furthermore, insurance companies will not cover you for termite damage under your home insurance policy. If you sustain an infestation, it's up to you to foot the repair bills!
Non invasive inspections are certainly much preferred by home owners & pest control professionals, but where more serious concerns exist then it may be necessary to perform a more invasive inspection that involves the removal of part of a wall, floor or roof. If you own the property and a serious concern is raised, a more invasive inspection can be performed using bore scopes and other devices which will gain access to concealed voids - but invasive inspections are rarely performed in the case of a sale of a property since the vendor does not want their property damaged unnecessarily.
Remember that termite colonies work around the clock, so the time to act is now. Any delays in detecting termite activity will simply result in bigger expenses to not only repair any damage they have caused but also to remove the termites themselves. Termite queens are extremely efficient breeders that simply don't stop until they're killed or die from natural causes. Capable of laying around 1,000 eggs per day, a delay by a week or two could result in a further 14,000+ termites mining their way through your most valuable asset.
You're more likely to discover you have a termite problem by discovering the evidence they leave behind rather than the actual termites themselves. If you encounter any of these tell tale signs, there's a good chance termites are busy snacking on your home:
Piles of small, delicate wings shed by reproductives
Small piles of sawdust
Mud tubes built by termites for aboveground travel
Damaged or hollow sounding wood
Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
Of course, it's quite possible to have a hidden termite problem even if you never notice any of these signs. The best way to be sure is to contact a licenced pest control professional to conduct a complete inspection of your home. A Termite Professional will be able to determine if you have termites and recommend the best course of action for eliminating them quickly and completely.
A prompt termite inspection makes perfect sense, even if you cannot find any obvious signs of termite activity. Even new homes (just 1 or 2 years old) have been found with 20+ entry points that went unnoticed by the home owner, which is a surprise to many.
The message is simple - don't be complacent when it comes to protecting your family home or business. Small problems can quickly become big & expensive ones that aren't covered by your insurance company. Don't delay- talk to a pest control professional as soon as you can & avoid any termite nightmares.
