David G. says, "Had a squirrel tearing apart my attic for weeks. I tried to trap myself but didn't have any luck. Searched google for companies in my area with 5 star reviews and came across All Natural Pest Control. Now I see why they are so highly review. Their technician was fantastic. After he inspected the house he found an entry point where the squirrels were coming in and out. They sealed the hole and left a multiple traps to ensure we would catch any remaining in the home. The next morning we caught a squirrel and have not seen one since. They also advised trimming some branches over our home to avoid the problem in the future. Great service and great price" Read more

A termite treatment costs $330 to $820 on average for a basic exterior treatment.

Is a termite inspection worth it?

A termite inspection is worth it for:

  • Identifying the cause of wood damages in your home
  • Getting an official termite clearance letter to finalize a real-estate transaction
  • Proving that a home qualifies for a loan when refinancing
  • Filing a claim for damages with the landlord

What should I expect during a termite inspection?

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?

A termite inspection takes 30 to 45 minutes on average or up to 2 hours for large homes or properties. The total time depends on the property size, site conditions, and accessibility.

What are the signs you need a termite inspection?

Signs that you need a termite inspection include:

  • Tiny wings that collect in small piles around damaged wood
  • Many small holes in wood
  • Drywall pinholes
  • Small piles of sawdust-like debris
  • Hollow-sounding spots in walls or wooden furniture

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?

You should prepare for termite inspection by:

  • Trimming back bushes that block the inspector’s view of the exterior walls.
  • Moving everything inside the house at least 2' away from the walls.
  • Take out all objects near the pipes under the sinks.
  • 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.

Who do I hire for a termite inspection?

Call an exterminator or termite specialist to get a thorough termite inspection. Before hiring:

  • Compare at least 3 in-person estimates.
  • Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Choose licensed and insured businesses with at least 5 years of experience.
  • Get copies of an itemized bid and contract before the inspection begins.
  • Avoid choosing the lowest quote that typically indicates low-quality standards.
  • Never give the final payment until after they complete the inspection and give you the report.

  • How should I prepare my home for the termite inspection?
  • Which treatment methods do you recommend and why?
  • Will I need additional home repairs to prevent termites from coming back?
