Termites are tiny insects—but they can cause huge problems. Often called “silent destroyers,” termites work quietly behind the scenes, eating away at timber, flooring, and walls. By the time you notice the damage, repairs can be expensive and extensive.
The good news? Regular termite inspections can catch problems early—before they get out of hand.
At Accurate Pest Management Gold Coast, we offer thorough, reliable termite inspections to help protect homes and commercial buildings all across the region. In this guide, we’ll explain why regular termite checks matter, how inspections work, and what benefits you can expect from staying ahead of the pests.

Experts recommend having your home or building inspected for termites once a year.
