Fabien took care of the spider treatment at our properties located in Dianella and we’re very happy with the service. We’ve also had great feedback from our tenants, which is very important to us. He removed all the cobwebs and even sent us before-and-after photos once the job was completed, which we really appreciated. Thanks Fab! Great service and we’ll definitely see you again next time.

Fab did a spider treatment at our house and we were very happy with the service. He took the time to remove all the spider webs around the house, which made everything look very clean and tidy. We really appreciated his attention to detail and the way he clearly explained the whole treatment process to us. Fab provided a very professional service. Would highly recommend!

YOUR INSPECTION REPORT
Your report is prepared on site — not days later.
Multi-section written report with photographed findings, risk observations and clear recommendations. The report is prepared on site and delivered the same day in most cases.
Example timber pest inspection report. Findings and recommendations vary by property.
◆Photographed findings.
◆Evidence of activity or timber damage.
◆Conducive conditions and risk observations.
◆Clear recommendations and next steps.
◆Property and inspection details.
◆Areas inspected and access limitations.
INSPECTION METHOD
A careful inspection, recorded as it happens.
01
Detailed visual inspection
Accessible interior, roof void, subfloor and external perimeter are inspected in accordance with AS 4349.3.
02
Moisture detection where relevant
Fabien uses moisture detection to help identify areas of concern and conditions that may be conducive to termite activity, alongside a detailed visual inspection.
03
Findings recorded on site
Evidence and areas of concern are captured as Fabien works through the property, so nothing relies on memory afterwards.
Moisture readings indicate conditions of concern; they do not by themselves confirm concealed termite activity.
THREE CLEAR PATHWAYS
Choose the right termite service.
Comprehensive Termite & Timber Pest Inspection
$249 inc GST launch offer · Standard $299 inc GST

HOW IT WORKS
How the termite inspection works.
01
Tell us what you have noticed
Share any visible damage, history, moisture concerns or areas of concern.
02
Inspect accessible areas
Fabien checks internal, external, roof and subfloor areas where safely accessible.
03
Review the findings
Evidence, risk conditions and any access limitations are explained clearly.
04
Receive your report & next steps
Findings, photographs and recommendations are documented during the inspection, with same-day delivery in most cases.
INSPECTION SCOPE
What a termite inspection can tell you.
◆Inspections assess accessible areas of the property.
◆Concealed activity in inaccessible areas may not be visible.
◆The report reflects conditions observed on the inspection date.
◆Future activity cannot be guaranteed against.
◆Obstructed or inaccessible areas are documented in the report.
◆Recommendations may include monitoring, treatment, further investigation or risk reduction.
INSPECTION VS TREATMENT
Inspection first. Treatment only when the findings support it.
A termite inspection identifies visible evidence, affected areas, risk conditions and access limitations. If treatment or further investigation is recommended, FAB explains the available next steps separately.
◆Mud leads or shelter tubes on walls or foundations.
◆Hollow-sounding, weakened or damaged timber.
◆Swarming insects or discarded wings around the property.
◆Timber that appears blistered, cracked or distorted.
◆Moisture, leaks or poor drainage near the building.
◆Previous termite activity or treatment history.
◆Garden beds, timber or stored materials against the structure.
◆Unexplained damage around skirting, frames or floors.
Some signs can have other causes. A professional inspection helps determine what is actually present.
Termites may be active in wall cavities, subfloors, roof timbers, concealed joins and damp or poorly ventilated areas before anything is visible from the outside. Visible damage may represent only part of the issue.
FINANCIAL RISK
Termite damage is often not covered by standard home insurance.
Many Australian home-insurance policies exclude termite or insect damage because it may be treated as gradual or preventable damage. Depending on the policy, repair costs may fall to the property owner.
WATCH · 36 SECONDS
Insurance policies differ. Check your Product Disclosure Statement or contact your insurer to confirm your cover.
Regular termite inspections can help identify visible evidence and risk conditions before damage becomes more extensive.
PREPARATION
Preparing for your termite inspection.
◆Ensure roof-void and subfloor access points are clear.
◆Move stored items away from walls where practical.
◆Identify any previous termite reports or treatment records.
◆Ensure external walls and perimeter are reasonably accessible.
◆Advise FAB of pets, locked areas or access restrictions.
FAB will confirm any property-specific preparation before the visit.
FAQS
Common questions.
Is the inspection fee credited if I go ahead with treatment?+
Proceeding with treatment? FAB credits $125 of your paid Comprehensive Termite Inspection fee toward an approved termite treatment of $600 inc GST or more, approved and booked within 60 days of your inspection. Paid FAB Comprehensive Termite Inspection only (the free treatment quote earns no credit) · treatment must be $600 inc GST or more · approved and booked within 60 days of the inspection · one credit per property per inspection · applies to all four treatment pathways · not combined with other treatment promotions · applied to the treatment invoice, not paid as cash. The Comprehensive Termite & Timber Pest Inspection is a paid AS 4349.3 inspection with a formal written report — only the paid inspection earns the $125 treatment credit. The free treatment quote for visible termite activity is a quote visit and earns no credit.
How long does a termite inspection take?+
Most Perth homes take 60–90 minutes, depending on size, access and complexity. Fabien allows the time needed to assess safely accessible roof, subfloor and perimeter areas.
What areas are included, and will the inspection damage walls or floors?+
Accessible internal rooms and timber elements, roof void where safely accessible, subfloor where safely accessible, garages and attached structures, external perimeter, gardens and landscaping near the building, and visible plumbing penetrations. A standard inspection is non-invasive. Destructive investigation — such as opening walls — only happens if separately agreed with the owner.
Can termites be present without visible damage?+
Yes. Termites often work inside concealed timber and may leave little to no external evidence. An inspection considers both signs of activity and the conditions that may increase risk on the property.
What happens if termites are found?+
Fabien explains what was observed, the affected areas and the recommended next steps. Treatment and further investigation are discussed as separate options.
Is a termite inspection the same as a building inspection?+
No. A termite (timber pest) inspection focuses on termite activity, timber damage and conducive conditions. A structural building inspection is a separate service, usually delivered by a licensed builder or building inspector.
How often should a Perth property be inspected?+
Annual inspections are the baseline recommendation for most Perth homes. Higher-risk properties — near bushland, with timber retaining walls, prior activity, or moisture concerns — may benefit from more frequent checks.
Can you inspect a home before purchase?+
Yes. Pre-purchase timber pest inspections are available. Let us know the settlement timeline when you enquire so the visit can be scheduled accordingly.
Does an inspection guarantee there are no termites, and what if an area is inaccessible?+
No inspection can guarantee a property is termite-free. Concealed activity in inaccessible areas may not be visible on the day, and any obstructed or inaccessible areas are recorded so you know what could not be inspected and why. The report reflects what was observed on the inspection date and the conditions present, and further investigation options can be discussed if needed.
