When it comes to protecting your Perth property, not all pests are created equal and neither are the inspections used to detect them. At Tom’s Pest Control Perth, we specialise in both termite control and rodent control, offering tailored inspection services that address the unique behaviours and risks of each pest type.
In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences between termite and rodent inspections, helping you understand what to expect and when to book each service.
Termite Inspections: Silent Destroyers Below the Surface
Termites are notorious for causing extensive damage before you even know they’re there. Our termite inspections focus on identifying hidden infestations and structural risks.
What We Look For:
- Mud tubes along walls and foundations
- Hollow-sounding timber and blistered paint
- Frass (termite droppings) resembles sawdust
- Moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and laundries
- Roof voids and subfloors for drywood and subterranean termites
Tools We Use:
- Moisture meters
- Thermal imaging cameras
- Termite radar detection systems
Inspection Frequency:
- Annual inspections recommended for all Perth homes
- Pre-purchase inspections for property buyers
- Post-treatment follow-ups to ensure effectiveness
Rodent Inspections: Fast Movers with Big Impact
Rodents like rats and mice are quick to invade and can cause health hazards, electrical damage, and contamination. Our rodent inspections are designed to locate entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity.
What We Look For:
- Droppings, gnaw marks, and grease trails
- Noises in walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Chewed wires, insulation, and food packaging
- Entry points around doors, vents, and roofing
- Signs of nesting in garages, sheds, and roof voids
Tools We Use:
- UV tracking dust
- Motion-sensor cameras
- Rodent bait stations and monitoring systems
Inspection Frequency:
- Seasonal checks, especially before winter
- Immediate inspections if signs of activity are present
- Ongoing monitoring for commercial properties
