Common signs
- Discarded wings
- Mud-like tubes around a structure
- Wood changes needing assessment
A sign is a starting point for identification, not a diagnosis.
Keep the evidence available for assessment
Note where wings, tubes or changes to wood have appeared. Photographs help describe the location, but they do not establish hidden damage or structural condition. Tell us about recent leaks or repairs and whether the affected timber is accessible.
Separate pest work from building repair
Ask which areas the inspection covers and what findings the written proposal will address. Treatment, monitoring, damage repair and a structural assessment are different tasks. Confirm any warranty terms and future inspection obligations in writing rather than assuming they are included.
Before you book termite control
Give your full Brooklyn address and say whether the affected space is a home, apartment, business or shared building area. Confirm the named pest, rooms included, proposed work, preparation and price. Ask whether later checks are included and how to report new observations. Attendance and any specialist service must be agreed directly.
Can you tell whether the structure is sound from pest photographs?
No. A pest enquiry does not replace a qualified assessment of structural condition or repair needs.
