Use this checklist to prepare for an inspection. It does not mean that every home in the area has the same construction or termite condition.
Look beyond the move-in date
The useful starting point is the home's treatment and change history, not its age label. Locate builder documents, pretreatment records, later pest-control service, and any ownership transfer or warranty information.
Note where irrigation reaches the structure, where decorative rock or soil hides the foundation edge, and whether patios, planters, or utility work changed the perimeter. These observations help the provider plan access without assuming that every Villago property is built or maintained the same way.
What to have ready for the inspection
Before the visit, collect available pretreatment, warranty, inspection, repair, purchase, and addition records. Photograph the suspected sign and identify the nearest room, exterior wall, utility, patio, or landscape feature.
Give the inspector access to the relevant interior and exterior edges without moving fixed materials yourself. Identify leaks, irrigation, recent grading, attached concrete, storage, or remodeling that may affect visibility.
- Pretreatment and closing records
- Visible foundation locations
- Irrigation near exterior walls
- Planters and attached hardscape
- Recent construction or utility work
What to ask after the inspection
Ask what evidence was confirmed, which areas could not be inspected, what treatment is recommended, and what written records you will receive.
If the home was treated before, check the original paperwork and contact the company named in it before paying for another treatment. If you need a WDIIR for a real-estate transaction, say so when scheduling.
