Free Termite Inspection

Free for Las Vegas homeowners. A licensed technician inspects the home and explains findings. Real-estate sales use a separate paid WDI report.

Why an inspection comes first

Nobody can confirm subterranean termites from a photograph or a single sign. A physical inspection confirms activity on the property before any treatment recommendation is made. Subterranean termites live in the soil and build pencil-width mud tubes to travel above ground. On slab homes, they enter through cracks, expansion joints, and plumbing penetrations.

Subterranean termite damage is often hidden behind drywall and baseboards. Termite inspections are free for homeowners throughout the Las Vegas valley.

Areas checked during your visit

A licensed technician looks for signs of subterranean termite activity in accessible areas inside and outside your home.

  • Foundation and slab edges

    Technicians check exposed concrete foundation lines and expansion joints where subterranean termites enter slab homes from the soil.

  • Plumbing penetrations

    Inspections cover areas under sinks and wall openings where pipes penetrate concrete slabs and provide termite entry paths.

  • Exterior stucco walls

    The technician checks weep screeds and stucco edges around the exterior perimeter for attached mud tubes.

  • Garage wall perimeters

    Interior garage walls and baseboard connections are inspected for shelter tubes and wood damage.

Signs that call for an inspection

Seeing these signs indicates a reason to inspect the property rather than an immediate confirmation of active termites.

  • Pencil-width mud tubes

    Subterranean termites build mud tubes along exterior foundation walls, stem walls, and garage slabs to travel above soil.

  • Discarded swarmer wings

    Winged termites emerge in warm weather and leave piles of shed wings on window sills or near doorways.

  • Indoor winged termites

    Winged swarmers appearing indoors during warm weather, often after rain, are a sign of subterranean termite activity.

  • Mud tubes near plumbing

    Pencil-width mud tubes built on a garage wall or near plumbing penetrations allow termites to travel above ground.

What happens after the inspection

  1. Findings explained

Termite inspection questions

Is a termite inspection really free for homeowners?

Homeowner inspections carry no cost. Official Wood Destroying Insect reports for real estate transactions are separate paid services. You see and approve any treatment price before work begins.

Can a technician confirm termites from a photo?

No, a photo cannot confirm an active subterranean termite infestation. A physical inspection of the property is needed to verify activity and entry locations.

How should I prepare before the technician arrives?

Clear items away from garage walls and open access under kitchen and bathroom sinks so the technician can inspect foundation edges and plumbing penetrations.

What happens if active termites are found?

The technician explains where activity was detected and provides a written treatment recommendation. You approve the price before any treatment is scheduled.

Is termite treatment done during the inspection visit?

No. Termite treatments are scheduled as a separate appointment after you review and approve the written recommendation and pricing.

Dana did a blacklight inspection at night and found bark scorpions in our block wall. She treated the yard and installed weep screen guards. Now our Scorpion Plan includes visits every two months.

We needed a formal Wood Destroying Insect report to sell our house. Marco came out and inspected the slab and garage thoroughly. He sent the written report to our agent the next business day.

We heard scratching in the attic. Luis found where roof rats were getting in, sealed the entry points with steel mesh, and set traps. He came back to check the traps just like he promised.

We use the quarterly plan for ants and spiders. When we saw a few ants return near the kitchen in summer, they came back out and treated the area again at no charge.

Kim gave us a written checklist to prepare our bedrooms for bed bug treatment. She treated the furniture and baseboards, then returned about two weeks later to check for activity.
