Termite & Pre-purchase Timber Pest Inspection

Buying a houses is everyone's dream.  However, you don't want to buy a dud. Always subject your purchase with a termite inspeciton. A timber pest inspection is just as important as a building inspection
Evidence of timber pest damage or activity is encountered in 1 in every 3 homes. From as little as $250.00, you could save yourself thousands.

Thinking of selling, why not complete a termite inspection on your property before it goes to Market. A Termite Inspeciton will establish the condition of your dwelling & also deal with issues before they become a problem at contract time. Loosing a contract due to pest issues is something that can be avoided by doing an inspection prior.

Tudor’s Pest Control STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that a dwelling be inspected at a minimum of 12 month intervals. Termite Inspections do not stop termite attack, but are designed to limit the amount of damage that may occur by detecting problems early.

Termites alone cause more than $900 million of damage each year. It is vital that you have a professional timber pest inspection performed before you buy a property.
