Bay Area Termite Inspections
Concerned about possible termite activity? Killroy Pest Control provides termite inspections for homes and businesses in the South Bay, Tri-Valley, and Santa Cruz County. An inspection can help identify visible signs of activity, document affected areas, and explain what to consider next.
When should I schedule an inspection?
Consider scheduling an inspection if you notice:
- Mud or shelter tubes on a foundation, wall, or other surface
- Discarded wings near windows, doors, or lights
- Small piles of termite-like pellets near wood
- Wood damage you can’t explain
- Termite activity at a nearby property and concerns about your own home
These signs don’t confirm termites by themselves. An inspection can help determine what is present and whether further action is appropriate.
What does a termite inspection include?
A full inspection covers accessible areas of the property for visible signs of termite activity or damage. Areas that cannot be accessed are noted. A limited inspection focuses on specific areas, often to assess reported damage or prepare an estimate.
The inspection is an assessment; it does not automatically mean treatment is needed. If signs of termites are found, the next steps depend on the evidence, the type of termite, and the affected area.
Termite inspection vs. termite treatment
An inspection looks for signs of termite activity and damage. Treatment is a separate step used when an infestation has been identified and a treatment plan is appropriate. The method depends on the termite type and the situation at the property.
