If left unchecked, termites can completely devastate your home—chewing through wood furniture and floors until they cause structural instability. If you think you may have an infestation on your property, schedule termite control treatment. Use the following advice to get ready for the exterminators’ arrival.

How to Ready Your House for a Pest Inspection

1. Move Items Away From Walls

When a termite infestation has been identified, a common treatment method is to inject a specialized insecticide in certain parts of the room. Move all items away from your interior walls, including inside the garage. This will make it easier for the team to check for termites. Be especially mindful of the bathrooms and kitchen, as water sources are a common site for termite infiltrations.

In a similar vein, move items away from the exterior walls so technicians can check for termite mud tubes. This might involve sweeping away leaves or trimming shrubbery.

2. Empty Storage Areas

Since the exterminators will need to maneuver the room carrying hefty equipment, consider removing fragile items from the walls or shelves, which they might accidentally bump against. Take cleaning products and other items out from under kitchen sinks so they can examine the wall behind them.

3. Ask the Termite Control Team for Suggestions

Some treatments require that you temporarily vacate your home and even remove plants and pets from the house. Others do not. Therefore, consult with your termite control team to see if arrangements need to be made.
