Pest inspections in Munno Para: new estate specialists

Yes, particularly if you are buying. Even on a 10-year-old slab-on-ground build with an AS 3660 termite barrier installed at construction, the inspection has three jobs: verify the barrier is intact, confirm the slab-edge inspection zone is kept clear of landscaping bridging, and document any conducive conditions that have developed since handover. Most barrier failures inspectors document come from later garden bed or paving work that bridged the inspection zone, not from the original barrier.

AS 3660 is the Australian standard for termite management in new and existing buildings. For new builds since the early 2000s, builders are required to install either a physical barrier (stainless steel mesh, granitgard, plastic membrane) or a chemical reticulation system at the slab edge. The barrier creates a 75 mm inspection zone where the slab meets the ground. Termites can't cross the barrier undetected, so a periodic inspection of the zone catches any breach before damage occurs.

Standalone pest inspections in Munno Para typically range $270 to $410. Combined building and pest inspections sit between $400 and $600.
