A termite inspection entails an ocular examination of the accessible areas of a home for signs of the presence of termites and the potential damages they may have caused. The procedure involves inspecting the entire interior of your home, including any sub-spaces like basements, baseboards and crawlspaces. The exterior of your property including the garden, lawn, nearby trees, wooden fences and structures like sheds should also be covered by the termites inspection.

Termites inspections are normally conducted during real estate transactions and when homeowners suspect a pest infestation problem. On average, a termite inspection takes about 30 to 45 minutes for a comprehensive check of your home. The duration largely depends on the size, construction and living conditions in your property. As for the cost, most pest control companies offer free termites inspection especially when you hire their service if you have a termite problem. But to play it safe, make sure you ask for a price quote before beginning the service.

After completing a thorough inspection, all the pertinent findings will be reported and explained to you in detail. The technician should be able to inform you about the type of termite present, where they are located, extent of infestation and then advise you about possible damages to structures that may need to be addressed promptly. In most instances, the technician can provide information about the most appropriate treatment options and how to go about them.

For some people, termites inspection may sound like a pretty simple task, but it is actually a complex procedure that cannot be performed by anyone.
