We hear it all the time: what happens during a termite inspection? Are you actually going to tear my walls down just to find some bugs? It's actually less invasive than you think.
We'll send one of our trained inspectors to your house and they'll start by checking the typical points of entry for termites:
• Exterior foundation
• The crawl space or basement
• Anywhere the home makes contact with the ground
We'll even look around mulch beds or patios for evidence of termite activity. If signs of termites are found, Terminix will recommend a plan to solve your home's problem. And even if we don't find termites, we have plans to help you avoid the distress and expense of future termite activity.
When your home is protected by Terminix, you'll get annual inspections for the reassurance and protection from termite problems should they come up. If you have any more questions, reach out to us; we're more than happy to help.
Termite home inspections are less invasive than you might think. The technicians from Terminix will check your home for termite activity, looking at the typical and non-typical entry points of termites. Learn more about how you can schedule a termite inspection today.
