Termites can be extremely destructive over time, and can go unnoticed for years. The quicker you discover them and start treating them, the more you will save. It is important to do your research and be informed on what to expect from your pest control professionals, and what they are going to need from you. Hereâs what you should expect during a termite inspection.
Be Prepared
You might be thinking, âBe prepared for what? Arenât the professionals taking care of it?â Yes, they are, but you have to allow them to do their job as quickly as possible, with as little obstruction as possible. Your inspector will potentially need access to areas like:
Garage - It will be helpful to your inspector if you clean out your garage prior to inspection. By decluttering your garage you will be able to provide the inspector with the space needed to inspect for termites, such as expansion joints and where the walls meet the slab floor.
Crawlspace: If you have a raised house, or any access to the foundation of your home, your inspector will be checking that area as well. Make sure there is nothing blocking or impeding the inspectorâs path.
Attic: If you house has an attic, chances are the inspector will need access to it. Make sure there are no obstacles that might endanger or disrupt the inspector from working in the attic. If the entrance to your attic is in a closet, remove the clothing and other stored items so that insulation doesnât fall onto them.
Sinks: Remove items under your kitchen and bathroom sinks, especially potentially hazardous cleaning products. These areas are hotspots for bugs, including termites, and it is highly likely the inspector will check this location.
Exterior Walls: Make sure there are no large objects, or dangerous tools, blocking the path to, or leaning up against the exterior walls of your home. Bugs come in to your home from the outside, so this is a key location to begin inspecting.
