During a termite inspection, you should expect the specialist to:

  • Give you a detailed report of all termite presence and damage
  • Suggest a treatment plan for any infestations
  • Explain and list all the causes of the termite problem
  • Find leaks that need to be sealed off to stop termites from spreading
  • Offer you an annual service plan

How long does a termite inspection take?

How often do I need to get a termite inspection?

You need to get a termite inspection every 1 to 2 years on average, or you can wait up to 5 years if you live in a very cold and dry climate where termites are rare. However, if you've had termites before, then get a termite inspection every 1 to 3 months for up to 1 year after the treatment.

How should I prepare for a termite inspection?

  • Clear the entrances to the attic, basement, or crawlspace.
  • Give a key or access codes to the inspector if you won't be home for the inspection.
  • Tell the inspector how many buildings they need to inspect on the property before they arrive, including any detached storage spaces.
  • Describe all evidence you've seen of possible termite damage.
