What Is a Termite Inspection for a Home Purchase?

Regardless of when you buy a house in Fleetwood, a termite inspection is a prerequisite if you intend to obtain a loan. This report, called Form NPMA-33, must be completed by a local pest control company, specifically by wood-destroying insect inspectors experienced with Fleetwood homes. It reports on whether any wood-destroying insects can be found in the house. Our objective is to:

• Determine if there is any visual evidence of wood-destroying insects present;

• Determine if there are any signs of previous treatment for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles;

• Inspect the structure itself (business or home) including any areas attached to it particularly basements, crawl spaces, and porches;

• Determine if and where any dead insects or insect damage are located, including any mud tubes or shelter tubes, exit holes, or any staining;

• Provide only a visual inspection of the damage. Inspectors are not responsible for assessing the degree of damage, including whether the damage is structural or simply cosmetic. A structural professional should be contacted by the home buyer if there is evidence of damage.

It’s not required for an inspector to observe live insects to recommend a treatment. Rather, the inspector will use his or her experience and expertise to determine if there is a reason to believe these pests are present, and also what degree of treatment may have been used previously. Furthermore, lenders, realtors, buyers, and sellers serving the Fleetwood area may turn to our inspectors to get advice on what, if anything, can be done to treat for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles.
