What Happens During a Termite Inspection?

A termite inspection is really an inspector coming to your home and looking it all over for any signs of those pesky wood-destroying insects, which are also known as WDI and wood-destroying organisms which are also known as WDO.

It doesn't take your termite inspector too long to go over everything, usually just 30 - 45 minutes or so and they will be able to asses the seriousness of your problem and help you come up with some viable solutions that will meet your budget.

Take note that your free termite inspection make take a bit longer if you have a lot of clutter around your house that they will have to move to look behind. So cleaning up before the inspection is the best idea.

Termite Inspection - What Happens After

After an inspection for termites is done you can use any number of treatments to get rid of them including liquid termiticides that can be sprayed around the home that will be able to get rid of and kill any termites that try to find their way in.

Borate is another thing that a termite inspector might use, it is put directly on the wood of your home and acts sort of like a paint.

Once your free termite inspection is completed you can get treatment immediately and any damage that was beind done to your home will stop and you will be able to rest easy knowing you are now protected.
