A change worth checking
Report insects, suspected activity or changed wood conditions and where they occur. The goal is to ask what assessment can clarify, not to diagnose termites from a mark or photograph alone.
PESTCALLNOW / TERMITE INSPECTION
Termite Inspection for Your Home
Planning a termite inspection? Call PestCallNow to confirm service for your address, explain why you need the assessment and clarify its scope. Accessible areas, limitations and any required report should be discussed before booking.
Have your address, property type, access concerns and previous records ready. If the inspection is connected with a sale or loan, confirm the exact state, lender and report requirements rather than assuming a general visit meets them.

WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
Reasons to arrange an inspection
Explain what you have observed, where it occurs and what you have already done. These details help clarify an assessment; they do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
An upcoming transaction
Explain any buyer, lender or state requirements before booking. Ask whether the proposed inspection and documentation meet those specific requirements. A general service visit is not automatically a qualifying certificate.
Prior records or concerns
Share earlier findings or treatment records and any inaccessible areas. Ask whether reassessment is useful and how those records affect the scope of the visit.
ACCESS DEFINES THE SCOPE
Inspection scope and its limits
The findings and your property matter. Clarify what can be assessed and which questions remain before agreeing to a service plan.
Accessible inspection areas
Confirm which areas are included and what access is needed. Visibility and safe access can limit findings. Do not assume walls will be opened, materials removed or every concealed space examined.
Hidden or restricted areas
An inspection cannot guarantee the absence of all hidden activity. Ask how inaccessible areas or uncertainty are reported and what further assessment may be recommended. Scope matters more than a blanket assurance.
A broad description or photograph cannot establish what is present at your address. Discuss identification, access and limitations for your home.
ARRANGE A USEFUL ASSESSMENT
Booking, access and findings
Confirm service at your address, the assessment scope and what the recommendation will be based on. Ask about costs, preparation and review arrangements before agreeing.
Describe the purpose
Explain suspected activity, routine concerns or transaction needs. Confirm the address, property type and intended inspection outcome so booking expectations are clear.
Agree the scope
Ask which accessible areas will be examined, what limitations apply, the anticipated duration and fees. Clarify the kind of findings or documentation available before agreeing to the visit.
Prepare safe access
Request specific preparation instructions. Make agreed accessible areas available without disturbing suspected evidence or creating hazards. Share access restrictions and relevant inspection or treatment records.
Discuss the findings
Ask what was observed, what could not be assessed and what the recommended next step is. If treatment is suggested, discuss it as a separate scope and quote. Keep any supplied records and clarify follow-up questions.
Follow appointment-specific instructions and applicable product labels. Ask for clarification whenever access, preparation, precautions or the scope is unclear.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Keep the inspection useful
Practical conditions and clear records can support the service conversation. They do not replace assessment, guarantee results or establish a universal service schedule.
Keep the booking details
Retain the agreed scope, fees, access instructions and purpose. Clear records help distinguish what was requested from what the visit can actually establish.
Confirm report requirements
For a purchase, refinance or other transaction, obtain the exact documentation requirements from the relevant parties. Confirm availability of the required WDO/WDI report or certificate before booking rather than assuming a general inspection meets them.
Use findings to decide
Discuss unresolved areas and recommendations rather than treating an inspection as a promise of permanent protection. Assessment and treatment are separate decisions.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Termite inspection questions, answered.
Understand the service conversation before deciding what comes next.
Which areas does a termite inspection cover?
Coverage depends on the agreed scope and safe access. Before booking, ask which areas will be examined and what restrictions or limitations apply. Do not assume concealed areas or closed walls will be opened.
How should I prepare for the inspection?
Request access instructions for the actual appointment. Share prior records and restrictions, and make the agreed areas available safely. Do not disturb suspected evidence or move structural materials to perform your own diagnosis.
Can an inspection rule out every hidden infestation?
No inspection can guarantee that all hidden activity is absent. Visibility and access affect findings. Ask how limitations and uncertainty will be explained and whether further assessment is recommended.
How long does a termite inspection take?
Property size, accessible areas and the agreed scope affect appointment length. Share access restrictions when booking so the expected duration can be clarified for your home.
Will the inspection include a lender-approved termite report?
For a property transaction, tell us the exact report your lender requires so its availability can be confirmed before booking. Requirements vary by state and transaction; agree the inspection scope and documentation in advance.
What if termite activity is found?
Discuss the findings, limitations and recommended next step. If treatment is proposed, clarify its separate scope, cost and precautions. An inspection is an assessment, not automatic authorization for control work.
