When it comes to protecting your home, one of the most overlooked steps is regular termite inspection. Termites may be small, but the damage they cause is anything but. A single colony can quietly destroy walls, floors, and structural beams—often before you even know they’re there.

So how often should you be checking for termites? And what does a proper inspection include?

Here’s what you need to know.

Why Regular Inspections Matter

In Southern California, termites are a year-round concern. Thanks to the region’s warm and dry climate, both drywood and subterranean termites thrive here—making regular inspections not just smart, but essential.

Many homeowners assume they’ll see signs if there’s a problem. But in reality, most infestations go unnoticed until repairs are already expensive.

Routine inspections can catch:

• Early-stage infestations

• High-risk areas (like crawl spaces or moisture-damaged wood)

• Structural vulnerabilities before termites exploit them

Our Recommendation: Once a Year

At Attack Pest Control, we recommend an annual inspection for most homes. However, certain conditions may require more frequent checks:

• You’ve had termites before

• Your home has wood-to-soil contact

• You live near trees or in older wooden homes

• There’s been recent water damage or moisture buildup

In these cases, twice-yearly inspections can save you from major repair costs down the road.

What Happens During a Termite Inspection?

When you book a termite inspection with us, we don’t just walk through your home—we examine it thoroughly.

Here’s what we look at:

• Attics and crawl spaces

• Wood framing, flooring, and baseboards

• Foundation cracks or entry points

• Signs of droppings, mud tubes, or discarded wings

• Moisture sources that attract termites

We provide a detailed report of our findings, along with a clear plan of action if any risk is detected.
