Pest Inspections.
A pre-purchase pest inspection can save you thousands
Buying a new home is one of the most exciting purchases of your life. But picture this:
You find the perfect house, you arrange finance and you are lucky enough to buy your new home either at auction or via private sale. You get a great settlement. The big day comes and you move in. Not long after you notice the integrity your door frames and window sills are not what they appeared. To be on the safe side, you arrange a pest inspection.
The verdict: termite infestation.
The cost: anywhere from a few thousand $$$ to ten's of thousands of dollars.
Who is liable for that cost (the previous owner, the builder, my insurance): No, YOU.
And termites are just one of many pests that may be destroying a house that otherwise looks perfectly fine to the inexperienced or untrained eye.
You cannot afford to leave such an important investment to chance
Arrange a pre purchase pest inspection to make sure you have peace of mind when buying your home.

It is our job to look out for buyers. Our team is passionate, experienced and dedicated. Working with our pest inspectors you can be sure that the inspection of your future home is handled with care, confidentiality and in accordance with Australian Standards.
Consider the damage that undetected timber pests can do to a property
Termites are becoming one of the largest pest problems facing home owners. Termites can cause damage that may cost you thousands to fix if they go undetected. Regular Timber Pest Inspections are essential as a responsible termite detection and management program.
Borers and fungal decay:
These insidious pests are similar to termites in that often the timber damage from fungal decay and borer insects may go undetected until permanent damage is done.
However they are not the only pests that can cause damage and give you a nasty surprise once you've moved into your new home. Although MPPPI specializes in timber pest inspections, under the Australian Standard MPPPI is not there to assess pests such as rodents, spiders, ants and cockroaches. Where there is obvious visual evidence of infestation by these pests you will be informed of the issue in your completed Building & Pest Inspection Report
An inspection is not prevention and does not provide protection it is just a means of identifying and assessing the building at the time of purchase. It is essential to reduce the risk and invest in a Pest Management and control system for your properties and investment.
If you require further inspection or treatment for termites or pests such as rodents, spiders, ants and cockroaches we can recommend the services of MPMS
