Structural Pest Inspections
Pest Inspections in King City, CA
101 Exterminators performs pest inspections in King City and issues state-compliant WDO reports for escrow, refinancing, and VA or FHA loans. The report separates Section 1, active infestation or existing damage, from Section 2, the conditions likely to lead to infestation. In a city built largely of mid-century tract housing and ranch parcels, most reports here are decided at the slab edge, in the subarea, and out in the detached buildings. SPCB Lic. #9119.

Define the Property and Access
Tell us which buildings belong in the request and who can open locked or occupied areas. We will discuss the inspection scope before the visit.
Inspect the Agreed Areas
The inspection addresses wood-destroying organisms and related conditions in accessible areas within the agreed scope. Any access limits belong in the report.

Common Questions
Pest Inspections FAQs for King City
What does a Section 1 finding mean for my King City escrow?
Section 1 means active infestation or existing damage, and that is normally what the lender or buyer requires cleared before closing. In King City the common Section 1 items are subterranean termite shelter tubes at the stucco weep screed, damaged mudsill in a subarea, and fungus damage in a crawl space that stayed wet through winter. Section 2 items, meaning conducive conditions like earth-to-wood contact or a missing vapor barrier, are usually negotiated between the parties. Once Section 1 work is completed we issue the Notice of Work Completed.
Does a WDO inspection on my King City property include the barn and the detached garage?
Only if they are written into the scope, so tell us before the appointment. A WDO report covers the structures it names, and King City parcels frequently include a detached garage, a shop, hay or equipment storage, and sometimes a second unit. It is worth including them, because outbuildings sitting on dirt or a low slab are often where subterranean termites establish first on a property, and a buyer's inspector will look at them whether or not yours did.
I am selling an older tract house in King City. Should the pest inspection happen before I list?
A pre-listing inspection is usually the better order for a house of that era here. King City's mid-century tract homes commonly carry ground-line findings: tubes behind the weep screed, earth-to-wood contact at a raised planter, subarea moisture. Dealing with those on your own timeline is far easier than negotiating them against a closing date. You get the written report, decide what to correct, and hand the buyer a document instead of a surprise.
