How often should a Joliet home be inspected for termites?
An annual termite inspection is reasonable for most homes, and sooner if you see swarmers, mud tubes or hollow-sounding wood. Homes with past activity or heavy moisture benefit from closer monitoring.
What are mud tubes?
Mud tubes are pencil-width tunnels of soil that subterranean termites build across foundations and walls to travel between the soil and the wood they feed on while staying moist and hidden.
How long does an inspection take?
A termite inspection typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on home size and how accessible the crawl space, basement and sills are.
