How to Understand a Termite Inspection Report

A termite inspection report should make it easy to understand whether there are signs of active termites, old activity, or conditions that increase risk. The report should not be confusing or overly technical.

If you are comparing services, start with the termite and pest inspections page and the termite warning signs article for context.

What to focus on first

  • active termite signs
  • old or past activity
  • damage to accessible timber
  • conditions that attract termites
  • recommendations for next steps

Why the report matters

Termite damage can be expensive to repair, and the report helps you identify problems before they become a bigger issue.

What a good report should include

You should expect photos, plain-language findings, and a clear explanation of whether the issue appears active, historic, or simply a risk factor.
