Advanced Termite Detection Technology
Moisture Meters
With termites and termite damage comes high moisture levels. Moisture meters are used by all EcoPest Group termite inspectors to provide a moisture reading of termite susceptible building materials so that they can determine if there are conditions which might indicate or lead to termite infestation.
Termites thrive in conditions where the moisture levels are high, high moisture levels = increased risk of termite attack.

Are termites common in Adelaide?
Yes, termites are quite common in Adelaide and throughout South Australia. Adelaide’s climate, older timber-framed homes, and dry periods followed by moisture create good conditions for subterranean termites, especially Coptotermes species, which are considered the most destructive termites in SA.
- Termites affect a large number of Australian homes, and South Australia is considered a high-risk area.
- The most common damaging species around Adelaide are subterranean termites such as Coptotermes acinaciformis and Coptotermes frenchi.
- They usually stay hidden underground or inside walls, so infestations often go unnoticed until damage is significant.
- Areas with leaking pipes, poor drainage, garden beds against walls, or stored timber nearby are especially attractive to them.
How is a termite inspection performed?
- The interior of your property: each room within the interior of your home is inspected thoroughly including but not limited to doorframes- architraves , skirtings, joinery, timber floors and walls with a tramex moisture meter, Termatac and torch, all timbers will be tap sounded for termite evidence and activity.
- The exterior of your property: the slab and footing edges, down pipes and all other external areas of all structure on your property are inspected.
- Subfloors: Homes that have subfloors are very susceptible to termite attack, our termite inspectors are equipped with borescope so they can inspect the subfloor for signs of termite infestation before having to gain physical access via floor traps .
- Roof voids: Not a fun job but where access is available our termite inspections cover checking top plates and other accessible roof timbers susceptible to termite damage
- Grounds: this is often where termite attack starts so a thorough inspection of landscaping timbers, gardens beds, trees, stumps and the fence lines are performed on all our termite inspections
The inspection findings are then detailed in a digital report that will be discussed with you upon completion of the service. The termite report will highlight, but not be limited to, active termites, areas conducive to termites and termite treatment recommendations. Your termite inspector will also discuss with you how to make your property less attractive to termites, and discuss options for a termite protection program to suit your needs and budget.
Is a termite inspection necessary?
Termites are incredibly destructive and can wreak havoc on your home. But they can also spend most of their time relatively undetected until the colony is at full size and the damage they’ve caused cannot be ignored. In all cases, preventing termites, or at least catching them early on, is far easier than treating them when they’re at full force. This is why the answer to “is a termite inspection necessary?” is always a resounding “yes”.
Read on to learn more about why termite inspections should be a part of your regular house maintenance and when you should do them.
There are several reason why a termite inspection is necessary, see below
- Preventing termites is easier than treating a major termite infestation
- They can confirm where the termites are and what kind of termites you may be dealing with (i.e. subterranean, drywood)
- They can give your pest control technician a better understanding of the extent of the termite problem
- Termites may be active even if you don’t see them
- Termite damage can be expensive and potentially ruin the structural integrity of your entire home
What is a termite inspection?
- It’s a visual inspection of your home for evidence of termite activity and damage
- At EcoPest Group, our termite inspectors look at the interior and exterior of your home, and accessible roof voids and subfloors using specialised equipment such as moisture meters, Termatrac and borescopes
How often should termite inspections be completed?
At EcoPest Group, all of our inspections are carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard and code of practice – which recommends that you get annual termite inspections (i.e. once a year). However, there are also certain situations where you should book an inspection, such as:
- If you own a home in a known termite zone
- Before you buy a house, it’s essential that you’re aware of a property’s history with termites before you buy it
- If neighbours have termites: while a neighbour having termites doesn’t automatically mean you have an infestation, it does mean the pests are in the area and that you should be proactive
- You see signs of termites: if you see mud tunnels, timber damage and other key signs of termites, you need to book in an inspection ASAP
Do I need a termite treatment?
- If you’re in need of a termite inspection, speak to the team at Pest Aid. With over 30 years experience in the termite control industry, all our technicians are highly skilled and experienced in identifying and treating termites
