Scheduling a free termite inspection is one of the best decisions you can make to protect your home. Termites are silent destroyers, often causing substantial damage long before homeowners even realize there’s a problem. An inspection helps uncover any hidden activity and gives you peace of mind that your biggest investment is protected.
But what happens after the inspection is complete? Scheduling the inspection is only the first step. From there, it’s important to act, whether that means moving forward with treatment, monitoring your home for potential signs of termite activity, or setting up follow-up inspections to ensure long-term protection.
At Arceneaux Pest Management Service, we want homeowners to understand every step of the process so that they feel fully informed, supported, and confident in their next steps. Here’s everything you can expect after scheduling a termite inspection with our team.
Clear and Detailed Findings
Once your inspection is complete, our trained professionals provide a clear report of what we found. This isn’t just a quick yes-or-no response; we walk you through everything we observed, from any signs of current termite activity, to potential risk factors like moisture buildup, wood-to-soil contact, or structural vulnerabilities.
Our team explains the findings in easy terms so you’re never left guessing. If termites are detected, we’ll show you exactly where they’re active. And if no termites are present, we’ll point out preventative measures you can take to reduce your risk moving forward.
Customized Treatment Options
If termites are discovered during the inspection, the next step is developing a treatment plan tailored to your home. No two properties or infestations are exactly alike, which is why we avoid generic solutions. Instead, we consider factors such as the extent of activity, the type of termites present, and the unique layout of your home.
Treatment options may include advanced baiting systems, targeted liquid treatments, or a combination of methods. Our goal is to eliminate the colony, stop the damage, and protect your property for the long term. Just as important, we make sure you understand the plan, costs, and timelines before moving forward so there are no surprises.
Prevention and Long-Term Protection
A successful termite inspection doesn’t end with treatment; it continues with prevention. Louisiana’s warm, humid climate makes homes particularly vulnerable to termites, which is why ongoing protection is so important. At Arceneaux, we provide guidance on steps you can take, such as improving drainage, reducing wood-to-ground contact, and addressing leaky pipes or moisture-prone areas.
For complete peace of mind, many homeowners choose to enroll in a termite protection plan. These plans include routine inspections, preventative treatments, and coverage that ensures your home stays protected year-round. With professional prevention in place, you can stop worrying about termites and focus on enjoying your home.
How Often Should Termite Inspections Be Scheduled?
Most experts, including the National Pest Management Association, recommend scheduling a professional termite inspection at least once a year. In a state like Louisiana, where the warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for termites, annual inspections are especially important.
For high-risk properties, such as homes with a history of termite activity, older wooden structures, or properties near wooded or damp areas, inspections every 6 months may be recommended. These more frequent check-ups help catch problems early, before colonies cause major structural damage.
At Arceneaux, we encourage homeowners to treat inspections like routine maintenance for their home. Just as you schedule HVAC or roof checks, a yearly termite inspection ensures your biggest investment stays protected from costly, hidden damage.
