Your termite inspection checklist
Keep this checklist on your phone or print a copy to discuss with your NEARPEST technician.
How to use it
- Before the visit: Note where you have noticed damage, moisture, or possible termite activity. Gather any previous treatment records.
- During the inspection: Show the technician your concerns and use the checklist to follow along. Leave checks and findings for the technician to confirm.
- After the visit: Keep the checklist with your inspection findings and any recommended next steps. Ask which areas were inspected and whether any were inaccessible.
Stay in safely accessible areas; leave attic access and close inspection of damaged wood to the technician. This checklist is a conversation guide, not a completed inspection report.
