Termite Inspection Process
After scheduling your termite inspection, a licensed technician will arrive on the agreed upon date. They will need to be provided access to your home, garage, property, and any other out lying structures. In addition to access, they will also need to be shown where the attic, basement, crawlspaces, and any other areas that are known to have termite infestations are. These areas will need to be cleared out so the termite inspector can properly look for signs of termite activity.
Our EcoGuard technicians will check the inside and outside of your structures for signs of termite activity. They will thoroughly check for subterranean and drywood termites which can take roughly 45 min to 2 hours. The time varies depending on the property size and how accessible areas that are susceptible to wood damage are. The inspection will result in a report breaking down areas impacted by termites and other wood destroying organisms, how to treat them, and a quote for treatment. In addition to active infestations, our reports will also identify areas of concern that are conducive to increased termite activity.
Termite Inspection Costs
Termite inspection pricing is based off the square footage of the property being inspected. These inspections identify infestations which generally require immediate treatment to prevent further damages. Damage repair as well as termite treatment can be estimated by our termite professionals once they have inspected the property. Luckily termite treatments can be customized to meet your needs and budget. The costs will vary depending on several factors like size of area treated, severity of infestation, and type of treatment.
What Termite Inspectors Look For
There are several indicators that termites are a problem. Our inspectors have been trained to look for these signs to see if they point to an active termite infestation.
- These pillars emerge from the ground and connect subterranean termites to wooden structures under your home or business. These tubes are pencil thin and are made out of broken-down cellulose and mud.
- Wood with visible damage or crumbling is never a good sign when it comes to termite activity. The same can be said for wood that sound hollow as there is likely severe wood damage beneath the surface.
- Sometimes termite swarms will invade your property looking for new places to establish a colony. If there are signs of discarded wings, inspectors will look for other signs of termite activity.
- Frass is just termite excrement. Termite droppings are just small pellets of cellulose that are often found near colony access points, baseboards, windowsills, and door frames.
- Termites can cause damage to wood that allows air to build up or collapse pockets of paint and wallpaper. Any signs of paint coming separated from the wall could indicate termite activity.
- The only guarantee that you have termites is finding signs of live termites. They look a lot like ants but are much more destructive.
Key Areas to Inspect for Termites
- Rotting wood and wood infected with fungus weaken the wood and introduce moisture which provides termites with the perfect access point to start a colony.
- Anytime wood is in direct contact with soil the moisture from the soil can be absorbed by the wood and cause the wood to decay. This also allows for subterranean termites to breach the wood without any concern for predators.
- Outlying wooden structures like garages, sheds, patios, decks, etc. can be prone to termites and wood damage. Unless termite resistant products were used to help prevent termites, these structures are at risk.
- Termites will find and infest a perimeter fence and then follow it back to your home. Inspectors check wooden fences for signs of wood rot.
- Cracks in foundations, brick construction, and expansion joints can provide termites with the access they need to create pathways to and from their colony.
- Any dead or decaying wood on your property can be enough for a swarm of termites to infest. Ensuring that all dead branches, stumps, and firewood are cleared is critical to minimizing termites.

How to Prepare for a Termite Inspection
There are steps that homeowners can take to help inspectors do their job effectively and efficiently. These little things will ensure that termite inspectors can check the hard-to-reach areas of your home to ensure a 100% termite free environment.
Do a Little Rearranging
Areas like under the sink can collect moisture and are a place inspectors will want to check. Moving things out from under the sink will provide inspectors with a clear path to wooden building materials surrounding pipe openings. In areas with access to open wood framing like the garage, be sure to move items away from the wall.
Provide Easy Access to Attic
Attics are sometimes hard to find and often filled with items left in storage. Access should be provided to inspectors so they can easily locate the attic and move about. The attics should be organized in a way that provides inspectors access to all walls and open wood framing.
Provide Easy Access to Crawlspace
Much like the attic, crawlspaces can also be difficult to find and navigate if filled with stored items. Clearing the crawlspace will help inspectors get underneath the house and check for termites.

Clear Brush Around Building
The exterior of the home will be difficult to inspect if there are shrubs and foliage blocking the path. Cutting back brush from exterior walls to provide inspectors with some clearance to check for termites may be needed.
