Housing Inspections – Purchasing, Renting & Moving
What We Look For
The areas and pests assessed will depend on the type of inspection you have booked.
Depending on the service and accessibility, we may look for:
Evidence of pest activity
Pest droppings or other signs
Potential nesting or harbourage areas
Rodent entry points
Cockroach activity
Flea or bed bug concerns where relevant
Evidence of termites or timber pests
Visible termite damage
Conditions that may contribute to termite risk
Moisture or environmental conditions relevant to pest activity
Existing termite management measures where identifiable
Other pest-related conditions relevant to the inspection
Accessible Areas
Pest inspections are generally limited to areas that are safe and reasonably accessible at the time of inspection.
Furniture, stored belongings, wall linings, flooring and other building components can restrict visibility or access to concealed areas.
The absence of visible pest activity in accessible areas does not necessarily mean pests cannot be present in concealed or inaccessible locations.
Where something requires further investigation, we'll explain our findings and any recommendations for additional inspection, treatment or monitoring.
After the Inspection
Depending on the inspection and findings, recommendations may include:
No immediate pest treatment
Targeted pest treatment
Further termite assessment
Regular termite inspections
Rodent proofing recommendations
Addressing food, moisture or harbourage conditions
Monitoring
Ongoing pest management where appropriate
Bees Knees Pest Management WA will explain the pest-related findings and recommendations relevant to the service undertaken.
