How Much Does a Termite Inspection Cost?
The cost of a termite inspection depends on the property and the type of inspection you need. A general inspection because you’ve noticed possible termite activity may have a different scope from a written wood-destroying pest inspection report for a real estate transaction.
Before scheduling, ask what the inspection includes, whether you’ll receive a written report, and whether any follow-up inspection or treatment would be priced separately. The inspection fee and any treatment costs are separate items to confirm with the provider.
What can affect the price?
The price may vary based on:
- The size and layout of the property
- Whether the inspection is limited to a specific area or covers the accessible structure
- Access to areas such as a crawlspace or attic
- Whether you need a written report for a purchase, sale, or lender
- Whether a follow-up inspection is needed
Ask the company to explain the inspection scope and any fees before you book. If you’re comparing providers, compare what each inspection includes—not only the advertised price.
Who pays for an inspection when buying or selling a home?
In California, a structural pest inspection isn’t required by law before every property transfer. A lender or purchase contract may require a report, and the contract determines who pays for it. Check your agreement and ask your real estate professional if you’re unsure.
