Is a termite inspection necessary?
Termites are incredibly destructive and can wreak havoc on your home. But they can also spend most of their time relatively undetected until the colony is at full size and the damage they’ve caused cannot be ignored. In all cases, preventing termites, or at least catching them early on, is far easier than treating them when they’re at full force. This is why the answer to “is a termite inspection necessary?” is always a resounding “yes”.

There are several reason why a termite inspection is necessary, see below
