Pests Leave Clues. We Know Where to Look.
Many infestations start quietly. By the time pests are visible, damage has already begun. Bugs Are Gone provides General Pest Inspection Services designed to detect early signs of activity, locate hiding spots, and assess property risks before they grow into expensive problems.
We identify the cause, not just the symptoms.
Stop the Guesswork. Start with a Full Inspection.
Most pests don’t stay in open areas. They move through walls, roof voids, subfloors, storage zones, and exterior entry points. A full inspection provides a complete picture of what’s happening behind the scenes. It’s not just about current activity. We look at nesting conditions, food sources, moisture issues, and access points.
A proper inspection makes future treatment more accurate, faster, and cost-effective.
What We Inspect
Our pest inspection covers all common zones where pests live, travel, and nest. This includes both internal and external areas of the property.
Inside the Property
- Kitchen and pantry spaces
- Bathrooms and laundry areas
- Behind appliances and inside cupboards
- Roof voids and ceiling corners
- Floor gaps and skirting boards
- Furniture bases and wall edges
- Air vents and pipe entry points
Outside the Property
- Fence lines and outdoor bins
- Garages and sheds
- Garden beds and mulch zones
- Eaves, gutters, and subfloor ventilation
- Entry doors, windows, and cracks
- Decks, patios, and steps
We adapt our inspection based on the structure and layout of the home or building.
Pests We Look For
We inspect for all common household and commercial pests. Our technicians are trained to detect signs, tracks, waste, and breeding zones.
- Ants
- Cockroaches
- Rodents
- Spiders
- Silverfish
- Wasps
- Bees
- Carpet beetles
- Moths
- Fleas
- Bed bugs

- Stored product pests (weevils, pantry beetles)
- Maggots and fly larvae
We also inspect for signs of deceased animals, nests, droppings, and moisture that may support pest growth.
Early Detection Avoids Bigger Costs
Pests breed fast. One missed nest can lead to hundreds of new pests in a matter of days. A general inspection catches issues before they turn into infestations.
This service is recommended for:
- New property purchases
- Pre-lease or end-of-lease conditions
- Seasonal risk checks before summer or rainy season
- Properties with children, pets, or food prep zones
- Homes near bushland, waterways, or dense vegetation
- Rental properties managed by agencies or landlords
We also assist property managers and real estate agents who require documentation or clearance before new tenants move in.
Our Inspection Process
We follow a clear, detailed procedure. No rush jobs. No guesswork.
Step 1: Consultation and Access
We speak with the owner or manager to understand any known pest history, signs, or concerns. Then we assess the property layout and begin the inspection.
Step 2: Internal Inspection
We start inside. We move through each room and check walls, ceilings, floors, corners, and soft furnishings. We use flashlights, mirrors, and non-invasive tools to look for droppings, marks, trails, or nesting materials.
We also check plumbing areas, which often attract pests due to moisture and heat.
Step 3: Roof and Subfloor Checks
If accessible, we inspect the roof void and subfloor areas. These are common entry points for rodents, termites, and larger pests. We check insulation, woodwork, wiring access, and vents.
Step 4: External Zone Review
We move outside to check for nests, burrows, and access points. This includes fence lines, compost bins, garden beds, and downpipes. We also assess conditions that may encourage pests, such as pooling water, food scraps, or open storage.
Step 5: Reporting and Recommendations
After the inspection, we provide a clear report. We list signs of current or past activity, identify potential risk zones, and recommend a course of action if needed. You are not required to book a treatment with us, but we offer options if pest activity is confirmed.

Why a General Inspection Saves Money
Spot treatments cost more over time. Missing the early stages of an infestation means paying for repeat visits, damage repairs, and extended disruptions. A general inspection provides a clear baseline. It helps target treatment, eliminate waste, and reduce chemical exposure.
We catch what others miss.
