Does a clean inspection always mean “no termites”?
A.) Inspections are an important part of termite prevention and should be implemented annually. Unfortunately a thorough termite inspection does not always mean your home is termite free. Termites can invade your home through many ways and some are completely invisible to an inspector. They can come up through cracks in the concrete slab or block and tunnel between walls and go directly into the wall studs between sheetrock and never be noticed until damage is finally apparent which is usually too late to prevent major repairs. A thorough inspection visually yields only about 25% of your home for invading termites. A preventative proactive treatment is a necessary part of termite prevention.
