Know Before You Buy

Purchasing a property without a professional pest inspection is one of the most expensive mistakes a buyer can make. Hidden termite damage, active rodent infestations, and wood borer activity can cost tens of thousands of rands to repair -- and these issues are rarely visible to the untrained eye.

Our pre-purchase pest inspection gives you a comprehensive, independent assessment of the propertys pest status before transfer takes place. Armed with our detailed report, you can negotiate on price, request treatment as a condition of sale, or make an informed decision to walk away.

All reports are professionally presented, include photographs, and are accepted by banks, bond originators, and attorneys for property transfer purposes.
