Choose the page that best matches what you found or why you need an inspection. Each page explains what to preserve, what to have ready, and what to ask a qualified termite professional.
What do you need help with?
Visible mud tubes or suspected activity usually point to inspection and remedial-treatment questions. A pending sale may require a Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report. New construction raises different questions about pretreatment records, final grading, penetrations, and responsibility for follow-up.
Use the pages below to prepare for the right kind of inspection. A photograph can help preserve a clue, but a qualified professional needs to inspect the property before recommending treatment.
- Active or suspected termite treatment
- General termite inspection
- Subterranean-termite evidence around slabs and foundations
- Real-estate WDIIR questions
- New-construction pretreatment
- Recurrence, warranties, and retreatment
Inspection comes before treatment
A general inspection, a real-estate WDIIR, and a review of previous pretreatment paperwork serve different purposes. Tell the company why you are calling so it can schedule the correct service.
The treatment method, price, warranty, and timing will depend on the inspection and the company performing the work. Ask for those details in writing.
