What affects the cost of Termite Inspection
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Branch 1, 2, and 3 licenses in California?
The California Structural Pest Control Board licenses pest control operators. Branch 1 is for fumigation, Branch 2 covers general pests like ants and cockroaches, and Branch 3 is specifically for termites and other wood-destroying organisms. A company performing a termite inspection needs a Branch 3 license.
What is an escrow or Section 1 / Section 2 termite report?
In California, for real estate sales, a Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms inspection report is often required. 'Section 1' indicates active infestations or damage, while 'Section 2' notes conditions conducive to infestations, like moisture or wood-to-soil contact. This report is filed with the Structural Pest Control Board.
Are whole-structure fumigations (tenting) common in Los Altos?
Yes, whole-structure fumigation is a common and effective treatment for drywood termites in the Los Angeles / Orange County basin, as these termites nest inside the wood itself. It requires occupants and pets to vacate for two to three nights, and food items must be bagged according to specific instructions.
Are there alternatives to tenting for termites?
Absolutely. Depending on the extent and location of the infestation, alternatives like localized treatments, orange oil, or heat treatments can be effective for drywood termites. Your inspector will discuss these options if applicable to your situation.
