Routine Pest Inspections
Termites, wood borers, fungal decay and mould are very common in North Queensland and unfortunately, in many cases, they go unnoticed until they have caused significant and costly damage to your property. In addition to causing significant property damage, they can also be a big threat to your health and well-being.
Because of the risk that pests present for both your property as well as your health and safety, it is advisable to have a pest inspection done on your property every two years. This will not only give you peace of mind but prevent costly problems in the future.
- Pest activity or live nests that are present

I recently had Complete Building conduct a building inspection for a commercial property I was looking to purchase. Michael conducted a thorough inspection and detailed report on particular areas of the building I was concerned about. I found them prompt, polite and professional. Highly recommend these guys!

We’re in the process of settling on an investment property in Townsville. We live in Sydney & Matthew has provided us with a very comprehensive building/pest report that we can trust. Plenty of photos with detailed descriptions. Matthew was also extremely helpful when discussing some of the more major issues uncovered. Certainly recommend their services.

Complete Building & Pest Inspections did a great job for me on my property purchase. I needed an inspection done urgently, they were able to accommodate and also get the report back to me on the same day. The inspector Gabe also took the time to give me a call and go through his findings. Highly recommended!

Matthew did my pre-purchase B&P inspection report and he is amazing! Genuinely helpful and was willing to talk through the findings noted in the report. Also, kind enough to take his time to explain and very patient. Will definitely recommend this company and Matthew as your inspector! Thanks again 🙂

Do you need a regular inspection report?
How can you reduce the likelihood of an infestation?
The arrival of warmer weather also brings out everyone’s least favourite free loader – spiders! Spiders become more active in the warmer months due to breeding season, they breed a lot faster than in colder months and for an added bonus their life cycle increases in these months as well.
The female spider will emerge from the hiding spots they settled into rent-free in and around your home to lay their eggs. Our eight-legged tenants are attracted to moisture, so they settle into damper areas, some prefer drier spaces such as upper corners of rooms and air vents.
There are a few ways to prevent a spider lodger from overstaying their welcome
– Remove webs from your home so they can’t nest
– Fill in any gaps they can crawl through
– Use oils and scented candles they hate e.g., citrus, peppermint, lavender, rose and tee tree – cats and dogs are useful to remove any spiders they see
– apply insecticide to at-risk areas
– maintain a clean house
How would you know if your home has termites eating away at the value of your home?
Given that termites infest 1 in every 5 Australian homes, it’s worth having a pre-purchase pest inspection carried out before you conclude negotiations. Termites cause serious damage to property costing potentially thousands of dollars in repairs and if you are selling your home, you may have to reduce the asking price to cover the cost of making repairs identified in a building report.
