Building & Pest
For the best possible inspections, Richard teams up with Mark from the Gold Coast Building Inspector. With their combined knowledge and diligence you get the most careful and comprehensive reports you could ask for.
Termite
There are no more insidious creatures to have in your home than termites. Gold Coast Pest Inspector’s Richard Eedy sees the harm they can do. He also sees the termites others have missed. Weekly. Sometimes daily. You can’t afford to have termites and not know about them. When you want the guy that finds what others can’t, contact Richard.
Pest Control
With 20 years experience in both residential and commercial pest management, Richard understands that every property is different and every property experiences its unique pest (and building) problems.
Richard discusses with you the different types of treatment options to suit your property. He personalises the pest treatments protocols to suit your property.
IS YOUR HOME AT RISK?
Richard will find termite activity in almost every property he inspects. He often finds activity in homes that were recently inspected by someone else. His experience indicates that termite activity in Gold Coast homes is almost ubiquitous.
Each year, termites cost Australian’s about $4 billion. With an average cost of about $10,000 and the fact that most home insurance doesn’t cover termite destruction, you should consider your home to be at risk of termites.
Are termites active in your home?
This is a common question. The best way to find out is with an inspection. Read our article, How to Recognise Early Warning Signs of Termites | Termite Detection Tips, as an introduction to some of the signs that your home has active termites.

Why You Need A Termite Inspection
WORSE THAN FIRE, FLOOD AND STORMS
Across Australia, an estimated $4 billion damage is caused to homes by termite damage every year. It’s a fact: termites cause more damage to homes in Australia than fire, floods and storms combined. The cost of professional treatment, trades and building materials quickly adds up. And the worst part? Your home or building insurance doesn’t cover it! If you’ve been affected, find out how Gold Coast Pest Inspector can help.

Why Choose Richard For Your Pest Inspections
No.1 For Professional Termite Inspection Technology
Nothing can compensate for the knowledge and professionalism of a good inspector. Richard’s years of experience and his dedication to finding termites mean he’s often finding termite that other missed. And that’s without requiring any technology. All too often other inspectors fail to do simple things like lifting carpets, checking roof voids or subfloors. Most termite incursions will leave traces of their entry into your home. Richard has an uncanny knack for finding them. Things like mud tubes (the mudding created by termites) are prevalent signs of termites. Where technology can help is for doing non-invasive checks into walls, for instance. Termites create heat and they need moisture to survive. Thermal imaging and moisture meters can help Richard find out what is happening inside a wall cavity where he suspects termite activity.
Thermatrac Detection Technology
This device has radar, moisture sensor and a thermal sensor all bundled into one unit. Termatrac’s detection technology is unique to the market, designed and specifically calibrated to detect termites and other insect activity. Our ability to "see" behind walls has never been better.
Moisture Meter
Moisture meters are an extremely valuable piece of technological equipment that helps detect termite infestation. Termites need moisture to survive. You see this in the mud tubes they create. They combine dirt and water to make a habitat for themselves. Excess or unexplained moisture is, therefore, a common sign of termite activity.
No.1 For Experience & Knowledge
With 20 years in the game and experience in building and landscaping beyond that, Richard is one of the most experienced pest inspectors on the Gold Coast. He combines that with constantly updating his knowledge and equipment.
He’ll always do the hard things and the easy things. What that means is, he’ll lift the carpet edge to inspect underneath. And he’ll crawl through roof spaces and sub-floors. (You’d be amazed how many pesties won’t do these things.) Richard is constantly finding termite activity that other inspectors recently missed. So much so, we wrote an article on it.
