What is a pest inspection report?

OPR’s pest inspectors will identify pest related risks within and around the property and will identify past, current or likely future activity.

Why order a timber pest inspection report?

A recent industry survey suggested 1/3 of all unprotected properties are subject to attack by termites, especially if located in green areas. How do you know if the home you are buying is pest free or not?

Severe termite damage to Australian homes is on the increase. This increase is largely due to the common use of softwood in construction of the building and landscaping (timbers which termites find irresistible), increased use of automatic watering systems, biodegradable chemicals and building designs.

The only way of knowing for sure if your home is at risk from termites or other timber pests is to have a qualified and licensed pest inspector who specialises in pest inspections inspect your home.

OPR’s pest inspector specialises in pests and only pests, this means we are very good at spotting the early warning signs if your new and or existing property has unwanted visitors.
