Yes, you should be present during a termite inspection. Here are a few items to specifically note during the inspection:
- Did the pest-control professional wear a company uniform and show you proper identification?
- Did the operator arrive on time in a clean car or truck and use proper equipment?
- Did he or she conduct a thorough inspection?
- Did you receive a thorough, informative document that details the inspection findings and options for treatment?
- Did the inspector explain the problem and all of the alternatives to you in a way you could understand. Was he or she responsive to your questions?
- Did it seem that the operator knew his or her stuff?
If you’re not satisfied, call the company and request another inspection. Termites are nothing to “guess” about. Be confident that your inspection was thorough and will lead to solving the problem.###
