This photo shows some of the termite inspection tools used in our day to day termite inspections.
They include: a bright torch for checking all of the areas that home owners don’t like to go into such as the roof and under the floors, a tapping tool for sounding out the visible timbers such as roof timbers skirting boards and architraves for signs of termite damage, a moisture meter to check the walls and timbers for unusual moisture levels caused by termites and shower leaks etc., a borescope which can be placed through small holes in wall cavities to look for termites in the walls, and an Infrared camera which shows the small temperature variations in walls caused by termites and other issues.
