Hey everybody, this is Ceyron Cran from the Loyalty Termite and Pest Control Podcast,
and today we’re answering a question that every smart homeowner should be asking:
“How often should I get my home inspected for termites?”
If you want to avoid surprise repairs, costly damage, and sleepless nights wondering
what’s going on behind your walls—stick around for the next few minutes. This episode
How Often Should You Get a Termite Inspection?
If you live in Chester, Delaware, or New Castle Counties, the answer is once a year.
Yep—every 12 months, even if you’ve never seen a single termite. Why?
Because subterranean termites are silent destroyers. They work from the inside out,
and by the time you see damage, the infestation could already be well advanced.
Annual inspections help us catch early signs—before termites catch your equity.
Why Our Region Needs Regular Checks
Our counties sit in a moderate to high termite activity zone due to moisture levels,
seasonal swings, and plenty of wooded areas. That makes your home—yes, even new
builds—a potential buffet if not properly protected.
Older homes, homes with previous infestations, and properties near heavy wooded
areas or rivers? They should be inspected even more frequently. Ask us about semi-
annual checks if your property is high-risk.
What We Do During an Inspection
At Loyalty, we go beyond just peeking around baseboards. Our inspection includes:
Checking crawl spaces, attics, and foundation lines
Looking for mud tubes, frass, and damaged wood
Inspecting moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens
Scanning for hidden activity using moisture meters and detection tools
And the best part? We leave you with a clear report and a plan, so you’re never left
Ceyron’s Expert Tip: Watch the Mulch Line After Rain
Here’s something most people don’t know: After a heavy rain, inspect the mulch
around your home’s foundation. If you notice little mud tunnels leading from the soil
toward your foundation, those are likely termite tubes. That’s a big red flag—and a sign
it’s time to give us a call, fast at 302-386-3999.
Termites don’t wait until it’s convenient to strike—so don’t wait to inspect.
If it’s been over a year since your last termite check, now is the perfect time to schedule.
At Loyalty Termite and Pest Control, we know Chester, Delaware, and New Castle
counties inside and out. We don’t just inspect—we protect, prevent, and give you peace
of mind.
This is Ceyron Cran, reminding you to inspect yearly, act early, and always stay loyal to
a pest-free home.
