Wondering about that mud line on the garage wall? Found a pile of wings on the windowsill after a storm? Don't spend three hours on Google. Get a trained set of eyes on it — free.
NEARPEST offers free termite inspections for homeowners across Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe. No purchase required, no invented findings, no hard sell at the kitchen table. If your home is clean, we tell you it's clean and we leave.
What we do
Actually Free
No charge and no obligation — not a "free inspection" that turns into a two-hour pitch.
Straight Answers
We call it either way — clean is clean.
Findings You Can See
We physically show you what we found, where, and what it means — even when the answer is nothing.
Escrow & WDIIR Ready
Buying or selling? A formal wood-destroying-insect report for escrow is a flat-fee service, separate from the free homeowner check.
Conducive Conditions Flagged
Even with no live termites, we note the moisture and wood-to-soil issues that invite them, so you can fix the invitation early.
Annual Rhythm
Once a year is the right cadence in the Valley, plus your own quick stem-wall look between visits.
What We Check
Then the garage: expansion joints and the slab edge are favorite entry points because the concrete gap gives termites a covered route up. We check wood-to-soil contact anywhere on the property — fence posts against the house, stacked firewood, planter boxes — plus moisture points like AC condensation lines and hose bibs, since moisture pulls termites in.
Inside, we look for kickout holes — small mud-rimmed pinholes in drywall — along with bubbling paint, drooping texture and anything you've flagged. The whole inspection typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
What Happens After
If we find activity, we show you — physically point at the tubes or damage — and write up a treatment quote on the spot. Most East Valley homes run roughly $400 to $1,200 for liquid treatment depending on the home's footprint. You decide on your own timeline. Termites are urgent; they are not an emergency measured in hours.
One honest note: free inspections are for homeowners checking their own homes. If you need a formal WDIIR report for a home sale or escrow, that's a flat-fee service with documentation requirements — contact us for pricing.
Do Your Own 60-Second Stem-Wall Check
Pay attention where the wall is hidden, behind shrubs, below hose bibs, behind stored boxes, and along the garage slab edge, because termites build where it is dark and damp. If you find a tube, do not knock it down. Leave it and call, because an intact tube shows our inspector where they enter.
The Conditions We Flag Even When You're Clean
None of those mean you have termites today. They mean you are making it easy for the next foraging colony, and most are cheap to fix once you know to look. Handing you that list is part of the free check, because fixing the invitations often buys years before termites become a real question.
Selling or Buying? Escrow Is Different
If you are buying, that report tells you what you are walking into before you sign. If you are selling, doing it early means no surprises derailing your close. Call us for pricing on the formal report, and use the free inspection when you simply want peace of mind on a home you own.

Questions, answered
Is the termite inspection really free?
Yes — free for homeowners, no purchase required. We make our money treating termites, not finding them, so there's no incentive to invent a problem. The exception is escrow and home-sale WDIIR reports, which are a formal flat-fee service. Call for that pricing.
How long does a termite inspection take?
Usually 30 to 45 minutes for a typical East Valley home: the full exterior stem wall, the garage, wood-to-soil and moisture points, plus an interior check. Bigger lots or homes with lots of stored items against the walls take a little longer.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
We recommend it. The exterior can be checked without you, but the interior look and the walkthrough of findings are the most valuable parts — it's much better when we can point at things and answer questions on the spot.
What happens if you find termites?
We show you the evidence in person, explain what it means, and give you a written treatment quote on the spot — typically $400 to $1,200 depending on linear footage. Then the decision is yours, on your timeline. No countdown clocks, no expiring discounts.
How often should I get my home inspected for termites?
Once a year is the right rhythm in the Valley, plus your own 60-second stem wall check a few times a year. Move it up if a neighbor treats — displaced colonies probe nearby foundations — or after a heavy monsoon season, which is prime swarming weather.
Can I just inspect for termites myself?
Do the quick version: a flashlight pass along the stem wall a few times a year for mud tubes, plus a look at interior garage walls and patio seams. What a homeowner scan misses is the trained read on hidden entry points and early interior signs. Use both, and ours is free.
What is a WDIIR, and do I need one?
A wood-destroying-insect inspection report is the formal document used in home sales and escrow. If you are buying or selling, the transaction likely requires one, and it is a flat-fee service separate from our free homeowner inspection. For just knowing where your own home stands, the free check is enough.
What if you find old damage but no live termites?
That happens often, and it is good news. Inactive tubes and healed damage from a colony that died off or was treated need monitoring, not treatment. We show you how to tell if anything reactivates and put you on an annual check.
