Preparing for Your Inspection
|
While it is called a "Termite Inspection" it is officially a "Structural Pest Control Inspection."
In addition to termites, the inspector will also be looking for fungus and water damage and for conditions such as plumbing leaks or earth to wood contact that can lead to termite or fungus damage.
For a complete inspection, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspector:
- Remove any storage from the areas under sinks in the kitchens & bathrooms.
- Remove any storage from the area within two feet of the exterior of the house.
- Remove any storage in the interior of the garage two feet away from the wall.
- Trim back any bushes or ground cover that conceals the walls or foundation.
- If your home is built on a raised foundation, the inspector will go under the house. Be sure the access opening to the subarea is not blocked by storage. If the access opening is located in the floor of a closet, please pull back the carpet and leave the door to the closet open.
- If you are not going to be home, be sure to unlock the gates and arrange to have any dogs stay with a friend or neighbor.
Please call if you have any questions.

The California Structural Pest Control Board would like us to inform you that while we offer a number of ways to eliminate drywood termites and wood boring beetles due to recent advances in pesticides, the only sure way to eliminate every last insect is to fumigate the structure. While we can arrange to have your building fumigated, the actual fumigation is subcontracted to another pest control company, most likely Nor-Cal Pest Control, a wholesale Sacramento pest control company that performs fumigations in Sacramento and the neighboring counties of Northern California.
