Reasons for having a termite inspection:
1. Every termite warranty requires as a condition, that the property is inspected for termite activity at least once a year.
The product warranty is where the company that manufactures the product gives the warranty and/or the installers warranty is where the company that does the installation gives the warranty.

This warranty is conditional on having an annual inspection.
2. For early detection & eradication of termites to minimise damage to your home.
3. Changes to the house or property that may effect the termite barrier and its protection.
4. To give advice on how to protect and maintain your home against termite attack.

Nothing beats experience in knowing where and what to look for. Termites are very good at staying hidden.
