Recommendations for Treatment
If termites are found, the inspector may provide recommendations for treatment options. Treatment may involve the use of termite control products, such as liquid termiticides or termite baits, and may be performed by a pest control professional.
Preventive Measures
In addition to addressing existing termite issues, the inspector may offer recommendations for preventive measures to reduce the risk of future termite infestations. This could include addressing moisture issues, removing wood-to-soil contact, and regular inspections.
It's important to note that termite inspections are often a standard part of the home-buying process in areas prone to termite activity. Property owners may also choose to have regular termite inspections as a proactive measure to catch any issues early on. Regular inspections can help protect the structural integrity of buildings and prevent costly damage caused by termite infestations.
