Do not disturb suspected timber or building material
Record the location, date and visible change from a safe position. Do not drill, scrape, probe, remove timber, pour a liquid into a wall or apply an unverified product to test for termites.
Ask a qualified local pest professional to assess the site
Request a written inspection scope, evidence, access limits, qualifications or authorisations applicable in the property’s jurisdiction, and next steps. Keep inspection, treatment and building repair as separate decisions.
Check product claims and local requirements
Ask for the exact product label and evidence for the intended pest, site and method before any treatment. NSW residents can consult the NSW EPA pesticide information; other jurisdictions have their own regulators. This general page does not validate vinegar or another home remedy.
Confirm a subcontracted pest-control enquiry
Dirt2Tidy arranges pest-control services through subcontractors across its operating cities. The external provider performs any accepted inspection or treatment. Confirm provider identity, applicable credentials, scope, address/date, price and terms before booking; no termite-free guarantee is made.
