What does the inspection entail?
A qualified representative from the licensed pest control company will perform the inspection.  He inspects all visible areas of the structure which are readily accessible to him.  If he finds evidence of infestation, he reports these evidences on a specified form.  An inspection may include sounding or probing areas where infestations are suspected.  The inspection may be performed for a nominal fee.

NOTE: The inspector cannot see behind walls, paneling, into voids of cinder block walls, or under carpeting.  Infestation here may remain undetected.  PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The inspection will not include health related molds or mildews, as this is out of the scope of the inspector’s license.

What if evidence of infestation is found?
We will recommend and usually propose appropriate treatment to control the pests and provide recommendations for any associated repairs.  For termites, treatment is usually warranted for a year, or two in some cases, meaning if an infestation is not eliminated while the warranty is in effect, the company will re-treat at no charge to you.

Does a clearance or termite report guarantee there is no infestations?
The report gives finding of a trained inspector who searched for visual evidence of these pests in the readily accessible areas of the structure. It states that wood destroying pests were or were not found by the inspector in these visible areas. The possibility that an infestation may be hidden inside a wall or beam is possible.
