WHAT INFORMATION MUST BE INCLUDED ON THE INSPECTION REPORT?
A. The Structural Pest Control Act requires that all structural pest control companies in California use a standardized inspection report form. The inspection report should include any wood-destroying pests (such as termites or wood-boring beetles), fungus, and the resulting structural damage that is visible and accessible on the date of inspection. Conditions considered likely to lead to future wood-destroying pest infestations or infections such as excessive moisture, earthto- wood contact, and faulty grade levels are also identified on the report. Recommendations are also made for treatment or repair. A diagram on the inspection report must detail every part of the house checked for signs of infestation or infections. The report must also state which areas have been inspected and which areas have not been inspected because of inaccessibility. It is important to make sure the inspector understands what structures you want inspected and to be sure these areas were inspected. Outbuildi
