Before you decide.
Can a photo confirm termites?
A photo can help explain your concern but may not be enough to identify the pest or the extent of activity.
Will every space be inspected?
Access depends on the building. Ask the provider to record any areas that cannot be inspected.
What should a quotation explain?
Ask for the proposed scope, method, limitations, preparation, follow-up and full cost in writing.
Inspection scope
Understand what is checked
Talk through the accessible rooms, roof spaces and external edges. Request a record of limitations and findings so you can compare the scope of different proposals.

Keep the proposal, preparation instructions and follow-up arrangements together, so the details remain easy to review.
