Preparing for an Entomologist Inspection in Umhlanga
The more we know before we arrive, the more useful the report will be.
- Write down the questions Ask your attorney, insurer or buyer what they need the report to answer, and send it to us in writing.
- Gather past paperwork Earlier beetle or soil poisoning certificates and treatment records help show how long a problem has been there.
- Take photos of damage Photos of damage you’ve noticed, with dates, help us compare what we see on the day.
- Clear access Make sure roof hatches, under-floor spaces and outbuildings can be reached safely.
- Don’t repair before we inspect Patching or painting damaged timber first can hide the evidence the report needs to record.
We’ll confirm what access we need when you book, so nothing is missed on the day.

Our findings on wood borer, termites and other structural pests, plus recommended treatment or repairs.
Who usually asks for one?
Homeowners, attorneys, insurers and commercial property managers.

The inspection usually takes a few hours, and the written report follows soon after. We’ll give you a timeline when we book.
Can an entomologist report help with an insurance claim?
