Termite Inspections with Zone Pest: Advanced Technology, Expert Eyes
When it comes to protecting your home or investment property from the destructive impact of termites, early detection is key. That’s where Zone Pest steps in—offering expert termite inspections throughout the Northern Rivers, Tweed Coast and Gold Coast
using cutting-edge technology and years of on-the-ground experience.
Why Termite Inspections Matter
Termites are silent destroyers. They often go unnoticed until they’ve caused serious and costly structural damage. By the time visible signs appear, the infestation is usually well advanced. Regular termite inspections are essential for catching activity early—before the damage is done.
Whether you're purchasing a new property, maintaining your current one, or simply staying proactive, a termite inspection is
one of the smartest investments you can make.
The Zone Pest Approach to Termite Inspections
Matt from Zone Pest doesn’t just walk around with a torch and clipboard. His inspections are detailed, methodical, and backed by industry-leading technology that helps uncover what the eye alone can’t see.
Here’s what you can expect during a Zone Pest termite inspection:
Visual Inspection by an Experienced Technician
Matt begins with a thorough visual inspection of all accessible areas—interior, exterior, roof voids, subfloors, fences, gardens, and outbuildings. He’s looking for any signs of termite activity or conducive conditions, such as moisture issues, wood-to-ground contact, and structural vulnerabilities.
His experience in both termite behaviour and construction allows him to identify high-risk areas that others may miss.
Thermal Imaging with the FLIR C2 Camera
Zone Pest uses the FLIR C2 thermal imaging camera, a compact but powerful tool that detects subtle temperature differences in building materials. Termites generate heat as they move in colonies or nest within walls—and this technology helps expose those temperature anomalies.
With thermal imaging, Matt can see behind walls, ceilings, and floors without the need for invasive drilling or damage. It's a non-destructive and incredibly effective way to detect potential termite hotspots.
Confirmation Testing with the Termatrac Motion Sensor
Where thermal imaging picks up suspicious heat patterns, the Termatrac T3i motion sensor adds an extra layer of confirmation. This radar-based device detects actual termite movement inside walls, floors, or timbers without disturbing the insects.
It’s precise, non-invasive, and gives absolute clarity on whether termites are active in the area.
This combination of technology ensures inspections aren’t based on guesswork—they’re based on real evidence.
Detailed Findings and Reporting
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining:
Any evidence of termite activity or damage
Conditions that could attract or support termites
Photos, thermal images, and radar data (if applicable)
Recommendations for treatment, prevention, or further action
Matt is also happy to talk you through the results and provide practical, honest advice to help you make informed decisions.
