How Do You Become A Termite Inspector?
Licensed termite inspectors can earn a great living, even working part time. Though this can mean easy money for someone who doesn’t mind bugs, construction and small, confined spaces, it does come with specific job requirements. Before embarking on a career in termite inspection, be sure that you’re comfortable and confident entering a private residence and dealing with termites and other wood-destroying bugs and paperwork. You must keep your license, contracts and knowledge up to date to remain a current termite inspector. Step 1 Complete coursework in subject areas that pertain to termite control. The courses that are typically necessary to obtain your termite inspection license, according to the Structural Pest Control Board, include pesticides, pest identification and biology, construction repair and preservation, contract law, business practices and rules and regulations. Step 2 Sign up for a termite apprentice course at your local trade school or at a junior or community college
