All our inspectors are trained and equipped to use these devices
Professional termite inspections rely on multiple detection tools – not guesswork or a single device.
Thermal camera
Our inspectors are highly trained in the correct use and interpretation of thermal imaging during termite inspections.
Thermal cameras detect subtle variations in surface temperature that may indicate concealed termite activity within walls, ceilings, and fixed building elements.
As termites move and feed, they can influence heat and moisture patterns in timber and surrounding materials.
Used by an experienced inspector, thermal imaging allows large areas to be scanned efficiently and non-invasively, highlighting anomalies that aren’t visible during a standard visual inspection.
Moisture meter
A moisture meter is a mandatory termite detection device used in every termite inspection, and our inspectors are highly trained in its correct use and interpretation.
Termites require moisture to survive and often increase moisture levels in the timber they are feeding on. Using a moisture meter allows our inspectors to identify abnormally high moisture readings within walls, floors, and structural timbers that may indicate concealed termite activity.
Readings are never assessed in isolation. Our inspectors understand how to differentiate between moisture caused by termites and moisture from other sources such as plumbing, ventilation, or environmental conditions. Where elevated readings are detected, additional detection devices are used to investigate further.
T3i motion detector
The T3i motion detector is used to help identify termite movement behind walls and in concealed areas. Our inspectors are highly trained in its correct use and interpretation during termite inspections.
By detecting subtle movement caused by termite activity within timber and building materials, the device allows concealed areas to be assessed without invasive damage.
Readings are always verified using additional detection tools to ensure accurate results.
Borescope
A borescope is used to visually confirm termite activity in concealed areas where direct access isn’t possible. Our inspectors are highly trained in the correct use of borescopes during termite inspections.
By inserting a small camera into wall cavities, timber sections, or other concealed spaces, the borescope allows our inspectors to see what’s happening inside the structure with minimal disturbance. This helps confirm termite presence, identify damage, and verify findings from other detection devices.
Borescopes are used selectively and in conjunction with other inspection tools to ensure accurate identification and reliable results.
Detection devices – are they the bee’s knees?
There is no single device that can definitively detect termites. A thermal camera does not see through walls, and there is no machine that simply “pings” and announces the presence of termites.
Professional termite detection relies on combining information from multiple tools, including thermal imaging, motion detection and moisture meters. An experienced inspector interprets these readings alongside construction details, environmental conditions and visible evidence to assess the likelihood of termite activity.
Only when termites are visually confirmed can we confidently state that termites are present. This is why experience, methodical inspection and professional judgement matter just as much as the technology used.
Technology helps – but it’s experience and methodical inspections that find termites.
Red tape is part of our world
When it comes to protecting your biggest asset, everything must be done properly and in line with regulations. As a fully licensed and insured company, we follow all required standards and compliance processes – every time.
That said, it’s important to understand that a termite inspection has its limitations. Inspections are non-invasive by nature, which means concealed termite activity can’t always be detected without opening up walls, floors, or other structures.

Three most common questions Brisbane homeowners ask about doing a termite inspection:
How thorough is a termite inspection?
A proper termite inspection is detailed and unhurried, using specialist detection tools to inspect all accessible areas of your home.
Sadly, we can’t see through walls!
What happens if termites are found?
We explain what we’ve found, show you the evidence, and outline clear treatment options – so you can decide the next step without pressure.
Do I still need an inspection if I haven’t seen termites?
Yes. In Brisbane, termites are often concealed. Regular annual inspections help detect problems early, before serious damage occurs.
