Document what you noticed
Record the location, date, visible change, previous inspection and known repair history. Photograph from a safe position if useful. Do not drill, tap, scrape, remove timber, enter a confined space or apply chemicals to test for termites.
Check the inspector’s qualifications and scope
Ask who will attend, which NSW qualifications or authorisations apply, how to verify them, what areas are included and what could not be accessed. Request a written report explaining evidence, limitations, recommendations and whether treatment is a separate decision.
Separate inspection, treatment and building repair
A pest inspection, chemical treatment, timber repair and structural assessment are distinct scopes. Verify each provider’s relevant qualifications, insurance, proposed work, product label, occupant precautions and quote. Do not assume a cleaning visit or general contractor can make a termite assessment.
Confirm a subcontracted Sydney enquiry
Dirt2Tidy arranges pest-control services through subcontractors across its operating cities; an external provider performs any accepted inspection or treatment. Confirm the provider, applicable credentials, accepted work, property address/date, price and terms before booking.
Use official local pesticide information
For NSW pesticide-use context, consult the NSW EPA pesticide information. It does not identify termites or determine a treatment plan for an individual property. No termite-free or damage-prevention guarantee is offered.
