If you think you have a termite problem, a termite inspection is the solution. The inspection will confirm the infestation, give you an accurate assessment of how large the infestation is, and tell you how much damage it has caused. This will help professionals at the Wildlife X Team accurately treat your termite problem. When you get a termite inspection, the inspector will go through the following basic steps:
- Inspect the Exterior
The inspector will start outside of the home and look for any signs around the perimeter. This includes termites themselves or their mud tubes. - Inspect the Interior
Once the inspector has performed a thorough inspection of the outside of your home, he or she will move inside. Spotting termites inside of the home is more difficult, so this step will take a little time. The inspector will check the most common places for termite mud tubs, including the inside of kitchen cabinets, on windows, in closets, in corners, and behind appliances. Mud tubes are found in the floors and walls of a home if the infestation is large. - Inspect the Crawl Space and Basement
The crawl space and basement of a home are very popular spaces for termites to live. An inspection is not considered thorough without this part of the process. The inspector will have all the necessary equipment to inspect both spaces and will even be able to tell you which weaknesses in these areas have made your home vulnerable. - Inspect the Attic
Even though the attic seems to be far away from the foundation, which is usually the termites’ favorite area, it can have termites too. In fact, your home could have an infestation in the attic and nowhere else.
It is important that you have a termite inspection when you first purchase a house, especially if the seller doesn’t provide one. You also should have an inspection at any sign of termites because these pests colonize quickly and can spread from thousands to millions before you know there is trouble.
