What Is a Termite Inspection for a Home Purchase?

Regardless of when you buy a home in Frederick, a termite inspection is a requirement if you plan to obtain a loan. This important report, called Form NPMA-33, must be completed by a local pest control company, particularly by wood-destroying insect inspectors experienced with Frederick homes. It indicates on whether any wood-destroying insects are present in the home. Our goal is to:

• Determine if there are any visual signs of wood-destroying insects present;

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

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

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

• Provide only a visual inspection of the damage. Inspectors are not responsible for evaluating the level of damage, including whether the damage is structural or simply aesthetic. A structural professional must be contacted by the home buyer when there is evidence of damage.

It is not necessary for an inspector to find 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, including what level of treatment may have been used previously. Additionally, lenders, realtors, buyers, and sellers serving the Frederick area may turn to our inspectors to get advice on what, if anything, may be done to treat for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles.
