FAQs About Termites and Termite Inspections

We have answered some frequently asked questions below so you can get the information you need.
Hidden
What are the signs of a termite infestation?
If you have a termite infestation, you may notice peeling paint on the ceiling or walls that looks like water damage, wood that sounds hollow when you tap on it, buckling wooden floorboards, discarded wings, mud tubes on the side of your house, or piles of termite droppings, called frass. These signs indicate that you should schedule a termite inspection and have a professional confirm the presence of an infestation.
Are termite inspections covered by homeowners’ insurance?
Typically, homeowners’ insurance policies don’t include coverage for termite inspections or treatments. However, some policies may, so it’s important to review your policy to find out for sure whether you can receive coverage.
How can I prevent termite infestations in the future?
Prevention is key to keeping insects like termites at bay. Termites, like all other pests, need water to survive, so do all you can to reduce moisture in your home and around it, especially in the crawlspace. You should also move any wood or other cellulose materials away from the foundation of your home so that the termites won’t be attracted to the structure.
