A termite infestation may cause thousands of dollars in damage to your property, and in extreme situations, it could even cause the value of your home to be reduced to less than its market worth. If you are aware of or believe that you have termites on your property, it is imperative that you schedule a termite check immediately.

When you arrange your termite inspection, make sure to ask the inspector what you should do to prepare for the inspection beforehand. An access point to your garage and exterior walls, as well as your attic, crawl space, sinks, and other sections of your home, will be required by the termite inspector. Before the inspector arrives, arrange your belongings such that they are easily accessible to:

1. The walls of the garage

Push things 2 feet aside from the garage sides so that the inspector could see the joint at the walls join the concrete ground during the inspection. Termites are able to get access to the garage through expansion joints.

2. Underneath the structure of the house

If your house is built on an elevated foundation, the inspector will have to crawl under it. The crawl space must be accessible to the inspector, which is normally done from the outside of the house. Remove any things that are obstructing the entrance to the crawl space.

3. Attic

Remove any items from your attic so the inspector could have entry. If the attic entrance is located in a closet, remove clothing and other objects from the closet to prevent insulation from falling on them.

4. Sinks

Move everything that may be hiding beneath your bathroom and kitchen basins. The inspector would search for indications of leaks as well as termite activity.

The following will be among the things the inspector would be looking for:

1. Termite droppings

2. Evidence of swarms ( like as discarded wings)

3. Mud tubes

4. Wood that is hollow or damaged

5. Termites that are still alive
