Termites Stay Quiet. We Catch Them Before They Spread.
Every minute a termite colony goes unnoticed, your home loses value. Damage grows out of sight until the structure weakens. Our termite inspections stop the spread before it costs you thousands.
Bugs Are Gone delivers thorough inspections for homes and buildings that need answers, not guesses.
You Can’t Fight What You Don’t Find
Most termite problems aren’t visible until the damage becomes expensive. Floorboards sink. Walls bubble. Doors stick. Inspections reveal what’s happening behind the scenes so you don’t pay the price later.
Homeowners, builders, agents, and investors rely on accurate reporting to protect property.
It’s Not Just a Walkaround
Inspections that only scratch the surface miss early signs. We look inside, underneath, and around structures to assess risk and detect live activity. It’s not a box-ticking job. We check the right zones, use the right tools, and tell you the truth.
What We Look For
- Live termites in timbers, walls, or roof cavities
- Subterranean activity near footings and slabs
- Moisture pockets around plumbing or hot water units
- Previous attempts at termite treatment
- Damaged skirting, hollow beams, blistered paint
- Entry points that could invite future infestations
You get a report based on what we see, not what we assume.
Inside. Outside. Below. We Cover It.
Every inspection includes interior and exterior zones. We also inspect any accessible roof space and subfloor.
Internal Zones
- Skirting boards
- Window sills
- Door frames
- Bathroom plumbing zones
- Kitchen corners
- Floorboards
- Roof trusses and ceiling panels
External Zones
- Decking and patio supports
- Retaining walls
- Garden beds near structures
- External walls and vents
- Shed walls, fences, and posts
- Timber storage areas
- Tree stumps and mulch beds
We also assess areas of concern that you identify, even if they fall outside standard checklists.
The Tools That Go Beyond Sight
We inspect using professional equipment. Our goal is to confirm termite activity, moisture patterns, or wood damage in places that eyes alone cannot verify.
- Moisture meters to detect hidden leaks
- Tapping tools to check timber density
- Flashlights for shaded cavities
- Probes to test wood strength
- Camera scopes for tight spaces
We bring what’s needed based on the layout and structure of your home.
Skip the Guesswork During Property Purchases
Buying a home without checking for termites is like buying a car without checking the engine. A clean inspection helps you move forward with confidence. If there’s a problem, you know before the deal is done.
We work with agents, buyers, and solicitors to provide fast, clear reporting. Our reports are accepted by insurers and banks.
Why Our Termite Inspections Work
Most termite inspections look the same on paper. Ours don’t. We put the time in, skip no zones, and explain exactly what you need to know.
We don’t treat inspections like a sales pitch. We won’t pressure you into booking treatment unless there’s a valid reason. You’ll get clear advice, straight answers, and a plan that makes sense for your structure.
What Sets Us Apart
- No shortcuts or skipped areas
- No vague summaries or guesswork
- Clear photos and itemised findings
- Optional follow-up services only when necessary
- Consistent reporting structure used for insurance or legal records
How Often Should You Book an Inspection?
Annual inspections are recommended for most homes. Properties with high vegetation, older structures, or history of termite activity may require inspections every six months.
One inspection doesn’t provide permanent protection. It only tells you what’s happening right now. Prevention depends on what we find and what you choose to do next.
The True Cost of Skipping an Inspection
Many termite problems start under floors, inside beams, or behind walls. Damage builds quietly over months or years. Repairing a single room can cost five to ten times more than the inspection would have.
Insurance doesn’t always cover termite damage. Early detection is your best protection.
We Don’t Stop at Detection
When our inspection finds signs of current or previous activity, we offer treatment options designed for the structure. No one-size-fits-all pitch. Just practical advice backed by inspection data.
We may recommend chemical barriers, bait systems, reticulation installation, or timber replacement if needed. You’ll have the full picture before making a decision.
