Termites in this area

Drywood or subterranean?

Drywood termites live in dry wood above ground, often in attics, eaves and furniture. UC IPM calls their six-sided fecal pellets diagnostic; they are pushed out of kickout holes less than 2 mm wide. Subterranean termites need soil contact. Mud tubes on a foundation or wall are a common sign. Contact a licensed company for an inspection. UC IPM: Drywood Termites; UC IPM: Subterranean and Other Termites.

When they swarm

Drywood swarmers fly during the day in summer and fall. Subterranean termites in the Reticulitermes group swarm in the afternoon in spring or fall, on clear days after soaking rain. UC IPM: Drywood Termites; UC IPM: Subterranean and Other Termites.

What an inspection covers

California's minimum is a visual search of the areas an inspector can reach. Hidden damage can be missed, so ask what was and wasn't inspected. UC IPM: Drywood Termites.

Treatment

UC IPM discusses fumigation, local treatments and heat as options for drywood termites. Ask each licensed company to explain its recommendation and the proposed scope in writing. UC IPM: Drywood Termites.

Termite questions in Claremont

Is a termite inspection required to sell a Claremont house?

No state law requires one. If the lender or the purchase contract does, the report must go to the buyer before title transfers.

Sources: CA DRE, Reference Book ch. 6 (PDF)

Can I see termite reports filed on a house I'm buying?

Yes. The Structural Pest Control Board's WDO search shows reports filed for the address in the last two years.

Sources: SPCB, WDO Inspection Search

What is a separated report?

It's a report that lists Section I items (active infestation or infection and its damage) apart from Section II items (conditions likely to lead to infestation). California requires the company to offer one.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

Can I get a second opinion on a termite report?

Yes. Every report carries a bold notice that you may get a second opinion from another company.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

How can I tell if old damage is still active?

Pellets alone can't show whether a drywood infestation is active, UC IPM says, so have a licensed inspector look.

Does the inspection cover the roof?

The report must state whether the roof was inspected.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

What happens to areas the inspector couldn't reach?

They're listed in the report, often with a recommendation to open them. If they're opened and inspected later, the company issues a supplemental report.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

Who keeps the inspection records?

The company must keep its inspection reports and related records for three years. Sources: spcb_act ---
