VI.FAQ

Termite Inspection — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a termite report to sell my house?

Most California real estate transactions require a Structural Pest Control Board-compliant termite report, and lenders typically require Section 1 items to be cleared before close of escrow. Even when not strictly required, most buyers and their agents request one. We deliver escrow-grade reports turned around within 1–3 business days.

Do I have to tent my house if I have termites?

Often no. Localized drywood infestations frequently respond to spot injection treatment. Tenting is appropriate when infestations are widespread, inaccessible, or in colony locations that local treatment can't reach. We assess the scope honestly and recommend the targeted approach when conditions support it.

How often should I have a termite inspection?

Every 1–2 years for most South Bay homes is appropriate. Properties with prior infestation history, heavy wood-to-soil contact, or high moisture in crawlspaces benefit from annual inspection. Coastal homes with eucalyptus or palm in proximity see higher drywood pressure and warrant annual checks.

What does termite treatment cost?

Localized drywood spot treatment for a typical infestation runs $400–$1,200. Subterranean soil treatment or bait station installation runs $1,500–$3,500 for an average single-family home. Full structural fumigation runs $1,800–$4,500+ depending on home size. Damaged-wood replacement is separate and depends on Section 1 scope. We provide fixed quotes after inspection.
