How Often Should You Get a Termite Inspection?

Termites might be small, but the damage they can cause is massive. By the time you notice signs of an infestation, they could’ve already chewed through your home’s structure. That’s why termite inspections aren’t just a good idea—they’re a must. But how often should you actually get one?

The Expert Recommendation: Once a Year

Pest control professionals recommend getting a termite inspection at least once a year. Why? Because termites are silent destroyers. They work behind walls, under floors, and in crawl spaces—places you don’t usually look. Annual inspections catch the early signs before serious damage happens.

When More Frequent Inspections May Be Needed

While yearly inspections are the standard, you may need more frequent checks if:

• You’ve had termite problems in the past

• You live in a high-risk area (warm, humid climates are termite hotspots)

• Your home has wooden siding, a crawl space, or sits on a slab foundation

• You notice signs like hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, or wings near windows

In these cases, a check every 6 months may be the smarter move.

Why Early Detection Matters

The earlier you find termites, the easier (and cheaper) they are to eliminate. Left untreated, termite damage can cost thousands in repairs. With regular inspections, you stay one step ahead and protect your biggest investment—your home.
