Building Pest Inspection

A pre-purchase building inspection is a report carried out before you buy a property. The report will identify significant building defects or problems found with the property and the inspector will compare the property inspected with buildings of similar age and construction.

BUILDING INSPECTION

A thorough inspection will identify existing and possibly potential problems that may arise in the future. Some agents may suggest that there is no need to get a building inspection. “she’ll be right the house is only 5 years old” A pest and building inspection puts you, the purchaser, in a much better negotiating position with the selling Agent. Most Agents don’t like what we find, therefore that’s how we know we are doing a good job. Finding problems before you buy may allow you to renegotiate the price of the purchase property or have repairs carried out by the vendor, or a price reduction, prior to the purchase.

All of our pre-purchase inspections comply with the Australian Standard (AS4349.1-2007)

The exact cost will depend on the type and extent of the infestation or pest problem you face. However, we pride ourselves on delivering highly effective and affordable pest control services, so whatever your needs, we can meet them at an excellent price.

While dealing with some types of minor infestations with a DIY approach is possible, we don’t recommend it. If you want to make sure that your home or business is free of pests, call Affordable Pest Control now.

It depends on the type of treatment. Termite treatments can be effective for up to 5 years, and other kinds of infestations may require only one or two treatments or may need to be repeated on a more regular basis. For specific details, please call or email us.

After treatment, it is advisable to wait for 5-7 days before cleaning your house, if possible. We will always advise you of any waiting time before applying treatment, so you know exactly what to do.

Yes. Nobody wants their space to be inhabited by unhygienic pests. The effort required to tackle even the smallest problem alone — especially without professional equipment — is time-consuming, complex and often untenable.

At Affordable Pest Control Nowra, we’ll ensure that your home or business is protected from unwanted pests. Our expert exterminators will work to free up your precious time and deliver a high-quality service so you can rest easy knowing your property is in good hands.

That will depend on your current pest issue and the treatment your premises receive. When we discuss your options with you, we’ll go through the entire process and let you know how long you should wait before ordering another pest control service.

Unless it’s an emergency, it’s best to plan pest control services well ahead of time. Because pests become more active in warmer temperatures, it’s best to schedule pest control in Spring, when most start to lay eggs and resurface.

In colder weather, it’s harder to reach them, as they’re usually hibernating. To avoid reactionary tactics, call us to discuss the best approach for your premises.

To prepare for pest control adequately, you should cover open items and move furniture to give exterminators easy access to harder-to-reach areas. Most importantly, make sure you have proper plans to relocate you and your family — including any pets — for the day.

You shouldn’t have to wait too long — sometimes just a couple of hours. To get an accurate idea of how long you should wait, speak to us, and we’ll give you an accurate figure for your specific service.

There are a few things you should discuss with us before your service:

  • When should I receive pest control?
  • How can I bestprepare my home or business premises?
  • How long will it take?
  • How long until I can come back?

You should get a building and pest inspection performed on any property you are thinking of buying. It’s also a good idea to arrange an inspection for any property you wish to sell, so you know exactly what condition it is in.

Building and pest inspection costs will depend on the size and location of the property that you would like us to inspect, but we guarantee it will be very competitive.

The length of time that it takes to complete a building and pest inspection will also depend on the size and location of the property. For an accurate estimate, please call or email us.

If you want to make sure you are not faced with unexpected costs after buying a new property, we strongly recommend paying for a comprehensive building and pest inspection.

There is no legal requirement for you to have a building and pest control inspection, but your lender may insist on one before approving your home loan. In any case, it is advisable to have one performed before making a purchase.
