How often for a termite inspection?

Question: How often do you need to retreat a residence for termite control (every year, every 2 years, longer)?

Answer: There are several factors that could affect the longevity of any termite treatment, such as type of termiticide applied, how the application was made, type of soil, property modification, or even weather conditions and environment.

That is why it is important to have a comprehensive inspection conducted by a professional periodically to help determine the need for any reapplications. Contact your Orkin professional to set up an inspection.
