Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible timber structures around the home—decks, pergolas, boundary fences and landscaping timbers—because these are common starting points for termite activity that can spread to the main dwelling if left unchecked.
Where there is access, we examine subfloor timbers, piers, ant caps and ventilation. Poor airflow and hidden moisture under Vermont homes can support termite movement and timber decay that isn’t visible from inside.
We focus on bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and pipe penetrations for signs of moisture and conducive conditions. Moisture is a key driver for termite activity and can also attract other timber pests and cause wood rot.
We check roof framing, trusses and accessible roof void areas for timber pest evidence, staining and moisture-related issues. Activity can occur above ceiling lines and remain unnoticed until repairs become costly.
We look for mud shelter tubes, hollow-sounding timber, frass, borer holes and damaged skirtings or architraves. Correctly distinguishing termite activity from borers or decay helps you choose the right treatment and avoid unnecessary work.
We assess risk factors such as timber touching soil, bridged weepholes, stored timber against walls, blocked subfloor vents and poor surface drainage. Fixing these conditions can reduce termite attraction and the chance of re-infestation.

Yes. Established gardens, timber fences, sleepers and shaded, damp ground can create ideal conditions for termites to forage and nest nearby. Termites often start in external timbers and then move into the house through concealed entry points. A pest inspection in Vermont focuses on these outdoor risk zones as well as the main structure to identify activity and the conditions that make infestation more likely.
Our inspection covers accessible internal and external areas for termite activity, timber pest evidence and timber damage. We also check moisture-prone zones, subfloor and roof void areas where accessible, and assess conditions that increase risk such as wood-to-ground contact, drainage issues and blocked ventilation. You receive a clear report outlining findings, risk factors and practical next steps tailored to the property.
Often, yes. Termites can be active behind plaster, under floors, or in external timbers without visible internal damage. We look for subtle indicators like mud leads, changes in timber soundness, entry points around penetrations and moisture conditions that support activity. While a visual inspection has limits, it is the best first step to detect warning signs and decide if further targeted investigation is needed.
They do. Vermont has many homes that have been extended or updated over time, and junctions between old and new work can create concealed cavities and bridging that termites exploit. We pay close attention to renovation areas, changes in floor levels, additions like decks and pergolas, and any spots where timber may contact soil or where drainage has been altered.
Many homeowners schedule inspections annually, especially where there are timber features, subfloor spaces or persistent moisture. If you’re buying, an inspection before settlement helps you understand current activity and risk. After treatment or if a neighbour has had termite issues, more frequent monitoring may be sensible. We’ll recommend an inspection interval based on what we find at your Vermont property.
