Pest Control – Sherlock Building & Pest Inspectors

pest-control-house Sherlock Building and Pest Inspectors will provide a comprehensive visual pest and timber termite inspection of all accessible areas of the property in question for the presence of termites and other harmful pests.
Your report will detail our findings, including any conditions that may be conducive to termite attacks, as well as potential risks and if needed recommendations for a termite control program.

A visual timber pest inspection is carried out with the tools recognised by the Australian Standards, namely a moisture meter and acoustic tapper.

The inspector will provide you with information regarding past or present termite infestations including conditions susceptible to termite infestation, such as excessive moisture or timbers in contact with the ground, improper drainage and/or inadequate ventilation in the crawlspace.

Borers, Termites, Fungi

Fungi, termites and wood borers will cause damage to timbers in and around your home. Annual pest inspections will ensure you are aware of any potential issues. Sherlock can treat the termites and wood borers, then create a treatment plan to limit any future damage to your home.

Cockroaches, Ants, Bed Bugs, Silverfish, Fleas, Spiders, Bugs, Rats & Mice

If you have a problem with any of the above pests, we can protect your home and family against them. In consultation with you, we will suggest the best options for a treatment.

We will take the utmost care with your family and pets comfort in mind.

Thank you again for helping me understand the process in doing a building and pest inspection. It was my first home and all a bit new to me but you made the process easy and in a way that I could understand so I will definitely be recommending your services.

I have been a property agent on the Sunshine Coast for 13 years and in that time I have come across many Building and Pest Inspectors !! I met Mark some 6 years ago and to this day I continue to use Marks services for all my clients as I know with Mark the job is done right and he has the ability to be able to communicate well with the client to ensure they fully understand the process that is taking place. I highly recommend Mark as he takes pride in his work and ensures the client is fully informed and satisfied..

We recently bought a home in Scarborough and were referred to Sherlock Building and Pest Inspectors. The service we received was excellent and we would recommend other home buyers to use Sherlock’s services to inspect the homes they are buying to ensure that they have full information about the construction and other matters to do with the home itself as well as signs of infestation by pests.

Best regards

SHERLOCK… You have to use these guys!

I had them do a house inspection, good firm quote, turned up ON TIME! quick efficient survey, and the report was in my hand within 24 hours.

I won’t use anyone else other than SHERLOCK for this type of work in the future.

Thank you very much for the prompt sending of my report.
I have found it very thorough and would like to thank yourself and Mark for being so professional and easy to deal with.
It makes life and the momentous decision of buying a home a pleasant thing to do 🙂

Susan and Mark have taken the stress and worry out of buying our forever home. Mark was happy to meet with my Mum at the property, and have her follow him around asking questions. He was extremely thorough, showed and explained everything to her, took lots of photos, and the thermal imaging of the internal walls was amazing. The report that came back (overnight) was very detailed with lots of pictures and recommendations, yet easy to read and understand. The communication with Susan was an absolute pleasure, and everything was so much easier than I thought it would be. I can highly recommend Sherlock Pest and Building Inspections for putting your mind at ease.

Thank you to Mark and yourself for offering and providing a friendly and honest professional service. As a Buyer we are going through a lot of emotions when purchasing our home, but to have this inspection service provided in such a way that the booking process is simple, and Susan you efficiently book it within time, and Mark so professionally and thoroughly goes through everything with us as he does his inspection and suggests who to contact to what you need to do. Then you provide the Report that night and it is written well, and easy to understand.

Thank you both for your assistance with inspecting our new home. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting to arrange an inspection on the Sunshine Coast.

As a real estate agent I often get asked who I would recommend for a thorough building and pest pre purchase inspection, I have no hesitation in telling them that Mark Ellis is the one I would use. He is very down to earth, thorough and pleasant to deal with. He explains things in a way in which everyone can understand and seems to have a very thorough knowledge of the whole industry. As a female agent, I sometimes get treated as if I would know nothing when it comes to building and some of my female buyers suffer the same treatment from some inspectors however Mark treats everyone with the same level of respect and understanding. He is also extremely punctual which counts for a lot in my business. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark for inspections.

Hi Mark,

I just wanted to thank you for the inspection you did on the purchase of our new home. As you had done previous work for me, i knew when i couldn’t make the inspection i could fully trust my home was in great hands thanks again ….

See you next time we buy !

Our house was over-run with ants, and we had Sherlock come and carry out an inspection, happily it was not termites, just extremely annoying little black ants. After a very efficient inspection and a spray programme that didn’t break the bank, the ants have gone. We would certainly recommend Sherlock to anyone.

C Conroy
Mark, thank you for today. You made a potentially anxious inspection, for the property owner that is, an enjoyable experience. Last one we did was 21 years ago and the world of inspections has changed substantially.

Cheers Scott
Sherlock Building and Pest were incredibly helpful right from the start. They fully informed me of the procedures they would carry out and the options they had available. Mark arrived promptly and took the time necessary to thoroughly inspect the property. He reassured me about issues I was concerned about, and showed me aspects of the property I was unaware of that needed repairing. From a minor tap leak, to major water leaking issues in the bathrooms; Mark went over the property ‘leaving no stone unturned’. I then received an excellent report with photographs of all the issues raised during the inspection. I am very grateful that I chose Sherlock Building and Pest. I highly recommend their service and expertise.

Judy Loudon
Can I just say a big thanks to you and Mark for going above and beyond to help me out.

I can’t wait to hear what Mark thinks about the inspection tomorrow.
