The termite notice in the meter box, and what it tells a Truganina buyer
What the durable termite management notice records, why it goes missing and what to ask the vendor when it is not there.
A combined building inspection and timber pest inspection on one visit, so a Truganina purchase gets the AS 4349.1 report and the AS 4349.3 pest findings together.

Subterranean termites are present across much of Melbourne's west. Whether a particular part of Truganina is formally declared termite prone is set by the council, Wyndham or Melton, and you can confirm it with their building department.

No. We inspect and report only, so there is no reason for us to find work. If treatment is needed you choose a licensed pest manager.
Treatment of any kind, invasive inspection such as drilling or removing linings, concealed areas behind furniture or stored goods, electrical, gas and plumbing testing, appliances, pools and asbestos or mould testing. Limitations on access are listed in the report.
