How often does Terminix recommend an inspection for termites?

Terminix recommends an inspection for termites at least annually, or more frequently if there are signs of activity. This approach is based on the understanding that termites can cause significant damage to homes and structures if not detected early. Annual inspections allow homeowners to stay proactive in identifying any potential issues before they escalate into major problems. Furthermore, if there are indicators of termite activity—such as mud tubes, discarded wings, or frass—a more frequent inspection is warranted to effectively address the situation and implement necessary pest control measures. This strategy underscores the importance of vigilance and regular monitoring in pest management, ensuring not just the detection of termites but also the overall maintenance of the property’s integrity.
