Pest control on regular basis is a must for the homeowners. The responsible homeowners knows very well that in order to save their valuable asset from being damaged by the pests specially termites, their home needs regular inspection by the qualified and experienced team of professional termite exterminator. The inspection is mainly done in order to check whether there is any evidence of presence of termites.

A timely termite inspection can save the homeowner a lot of money and trouble. These termites can shake the foundation of your home as they are hidden from our eyes for years. 

The confused customer would think when the termite inspection should be made. It should be kept in mind that if a homeowner has a mess in his basement area and the same is filled with so much stored items for years that the place cannot be reached properly by the termite inspection team.

It may be assumed that the termites may infect the place. The termite inspection is a visual inspection of your home by the inspectors of the area, which is readily accessible. Nowadays it has also been seen that if the homeowner wants to sell the house a certificate is required. This process of inspection and getting the certificate is charged.

The bank and other institutions needs this certificate that the home has been passed by the termite inspection team for any termite and other wood destroying insects before closing the sale of the house. The licensed termite inspection team prepares a Wood Destroying Insects (WDI) report.

It is a document which is very useful having information of inspection result for the lending bank or the buyer of the house. The said document also mentions the previous use of pesticides and the areas that are difficult to get to.

  The said inspection takes about 30 to 45 minutes for a thorough inspection and the same also depends on the size and conditions of the property.

The cold climate does not kill the termites. It has been surveyed that 1 out of 15 houses in Chicago are termite infested. Termite inspection also includes the looking for other pesky little bugs like ants, fungus, ants, spiders etc. The inspectors periodically looks in the attic area for any termite pellets which may differ in color from light gray to dark brown and 2 to 4 millimeters long. These pellets are generally gathered in the spider webs near the attic.
