WHO IS THE GOLD COAST PEST INSPECTOR?
Hi, I'm Richard.
Let me tell you my story. Years ago, I lodged a pest report with a real estate agent. They came back to the company I worked for with this complaint, "The bloke you've got working for you gave us a pest inspection report that states the house we've listed is riddled with termites. The vendor is not happy and we're not happy because we want to sell this house immediately!!!!"
That was the day I knew I have to be my own boss so I could ensure I was always able to give unbiased, unfiltered reports on what I saw.

Richard's Approach / Philosophy To Pest Inspections
We reckon Richard is the Gold Coast’s hardest working pest inspector.
What do you do differently from other inspectors?
I’ve seen enough evidence of other inspectors to know that I’m more thorough and more conscientious than many inspectors. I’ve inspected houses right after someone else did and I found termite activity. I think that what sets me apart is I always do everything I need to do during an inspection. That means lifting carpets and crawling in dark spaces.
What equipment do you use and why?
It’s important to know that the best equipment is still just there to help. My best tool is experience and thoroughness. Every pest inspector will use a moisture metre, which of course I do too, because termites and moisture go together. And I have a Termatrac because it’s like a termite radar.
What does a typical inspection day look like?
Crawling in and out of a lot of tight, hot spaces if you asking me. Nah, there’s a lot more to the job than that. Those are just the hard bits. I’ll mix up my day with pest inspections, building and pest inspections with Mark, and checking bait stations as part of regular maintenance.
What's the worst termite damage you've ever found?
I’ve seen a few that have to be getting up toward the $100K mark. We’ve got a picture on here of a lady’s bathroom that was all but destroyed by termites.
Why do you think so many inspectors miss what you find?
That’s such a good question. I reckon they don’t have their head in the game. It’s getting easier to get into this trade and some of them don’t seem to care. I’ve been called in to check a property two weeks after another bloke had been through there and the place had at least $20K worth of damage. Another property I attended recently had a termite nest in the lounge room. That stuff should be hard to miss.
