Free Pest & Termite
Inspection

A California-licensed technician comes to your property, inspects for termites, rodents, ants, and any active infestations — at no charge, with no obligation to book treatment.

What the Inspection Includes

Our free inspection is thorough — not a quick walkthrough designed to find reasons to sell you a service package. You receive our honest professional assessment.

01

Complete Exterior Perimeter Walk

We inspect the full exterior of your home or building — foundation, siding, eaves, vents, utility penetrations, and any wood-to-soil contact points where pests commonly enter or establish.

02

Attic and Crawlspace Inspection

Where accessible, we inspect attic and crawlspace areas for rodent activity, termite damage, moisture issues, and entry points. These spaces are where many infestations establish before becoming visible.

03

Identification of Active Pest Activity

Our licensed technician identifies any active infestation — live insects, rodent droppings, termite galleries, mud tubes, frass, or other evidence — and records findings for your written report.

04

Conducive Conditions Assessment

We note conditions that attract or enable pest activity: moisture under the structure, wood debris in contact with soil, standing water, improper vegetation clearance, or gaps in the building envelope.

05

Written Findings and Treatment Recommendations

You receive a written summary of everything we found — pests identified, areas of concern, and our honest treatment recommendations, including what genuinely requires attention versus what doesn't.

06

No Obligation to Purchase

If inspection reveals no active infestation, we tell you that. If you only need a minor intervention, we'll say so. We leave with written findings regardless of whether you book any service.

Who the Free Inspection Is For

Whether you're buying, selling, or simply want peace of mind about your current home, the free inspection delivers actionable information at no cost.

Before Making an Offer

Homebuyers

Know exactly what you're buying before you commit. Our inspection identifies active infestations, past termite damage, and conducive conditions — information your offer negotiation and repair requests depend on.

Suspected Infestation

Current Homeowners

Seeing signs of pests — droppings, mud tubes, swarmers, unexplained damage? We'll confirm what you have, identify the scope, and give you an honest picture of what treatment actually requires.

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers and Agents

Get ahead of buyer demands. A pre-listing inspection lets you address issues on your schedule and at your preferred vendor — before a buyer's inspector finds them at the worst possible moment.

The No-Pressure Promise

We built our reputation over 20 years by giving customers accurate information — not by manufacturing urgency. If your inspection reveals nothing requiring treatment, we will tell you that plainly and leave.

If we find a minor issue that doesn't warrant a full treatment, we'll tell you that too. If we do find something that genuinely needs attention, we'll explain exactly what, why, and what it would cost to address it.

You leave every inspection with written findings. No phone follow-up pressure. No "this offer expires today" tactics. Your property, your timeline, your decision.

Free Inspection FAQ

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. There is no charge for the inspection visit and no obligation to book any treatment. Our technician will assess your property, document findings, and provide written recommendations at no cost to you. If you choose not to use our services, you still leave with accurate information about your property's pest status.

How long does an inspection take?

A standard residential inspection typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the property and accessibility of attic and crawlspace areas. Commercial properties or larger homes may take 60 to 90 minutes. We'll give you a time estimate when you schedule.

What pests do you inspect for?

We inspect for all common pest threats in Central California: termites (drywood, subterranean, and dampwood), rodents (rats and mice), ants (including carpenter ants), cockroaches, bed bugs, spiders, and general insect activity. We also assess for conditions that attract wildlife such as raccoons, opossums, and squirrels.

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

For interior inspection of living spaces, attic access, and crawlspace entry, yes — a property owner or authorized adult should be present. If you only need an exterior perimeter assessment, we can often arrange this without your presence. Let us know your situation when you schedule.

What happens after the inspection?

You receive a written report of findings before the technician leaves. If treatment is warranted, we'll provide a written quote on the spot. You decide whether to move forward — there is no pressure and no follow-up sales calls. If you're not ready to decide immediately, we'll leave everything in writing so you can review it at your own pace.
