Know the enemy
Termite country, officially
The Northern Rivers sits in one of Australia's highest termite-pressure zones. The subtropical warmth and humidity that make the region so liveable keep colonies feeding and growing all twelve months of the year — there's no winter slowdown here like the southern states get.
Add the region's housing stock — timber Queenslanders, pole homes, hinterland houses surrounded by bush — and the maths is simple: homes here need inspecting more religiously than almost anywhere in the country. Termite damage isn't something home insurance typically covers, and a yearly inspection is the cheapest protection there is.
Did you know?
In the subtropics, termite colonies never get a winter break — the warmth keeps them feeding year-round. A Northern Rivers home can take more termite damage in one year than a southern home takes in two.

What our inspection covers
Every accessible part of the property, checked by a technician who knows what subtropical termite pressure looks like.
The whole property, not a lap of the house
Roof void, subfloor, interior timbers, decks and verandahs, garden timbers, stumps and trees — the full picture of where termites are, or could get to.
Technology that sees inside walls
Thermal imaging and moisture meters reveal activity behind surfaces without pulling your home apart — vital in the region's humid conditions where moisture readings tell a story.
A report in plain English
What we found, photos of anything concerning, and clear recommendations — from "all clear, see you next year" to a fixed-price treatment plan if something's active.
A local read on your risk
Bush boundaries, timber construction, drainage, previous activity in your street — we'll tell you honestly where your property sits on the risk scale and how often to inspect.
Fixed price. Free quote. Fast response.
Straight answers from a family business — no call centre, no pressure.

Frequently asked questions
How often should Northern Rivers homes be inspected?
At least annually — and for higher-risk properties (bush blocks, timber homes, past termite activity, or neighbours who've had them) every six months is money well spent. The regional climate simply doesn't give homes the off-season that southern properties get.
Which towns do you inspect in?
The whole region — Byron Bay, Ballina, Lennox Head, Lismore, Mullumbimby, Bangalow, Kingscliff, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Casino, Grafton and down to Coffs Harbour. Call and we'll confirm timing for your area.
What if you find live termites?
First rule: leave them completely alone — disturbing a colony scatters it and makes treatment harder. We'll show you what we found, explain your options and give you a fixed price for treatment. The inspection never obligates you to anything.
I'm buying a property in the region — is this the right inspection?
Buyers need a pre-purchase timber pest inspection, which is a specific report for your contract. We do those too — just mention you're purchasing when you book and we'll make sure you get the right one, on your buying timeline.
