AS 4349.3, honestly explained.
In short: What a pest inspection is, what it is not, and why no one can certify a house pest free.
Inspect and report

What is covered
The dwelling and accessible timber structures, the roof space and subfloor where they can be entered safely.
What is not
Opening walls, moving stored goods, entering unsafe spaces, treatment, or any guarantee of a pest free property.
Why no guarantee is possible

What you do with it
Fix the conducive conditions, and act on any evidence with a licensed controller.
