Termite & WDO Inspections

Las Vegas Area 702-760-2906

Know Before You Buy, Sell or Treat

Termite inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers and agents.

Termites cause damage quietly, and most homeowners don’t find out until a swarm or a soft baseboard gives them away. A professional inspection tells you whether termites are active, where they are and what it will take to stop them.

Swat It! inspects homes and commercial buildings in the Las Vegas Valley and South Florida, including inspections for real estate transactions.

When to get a termite inspection

  • Before buying a home, or when a lender or buyer requires one.
  • When you see swarmers or discarded wings near windows and doors, usually in spring.
  • When you find mud tubes on the foundation, garage walls or slab edges.
  • When you see small piles of pellets near windowsills, trim or furniture (a sign of drywood termites).
  • Once a year as routine protection, especially for older homes.

What we check

  1. The exterior foundation, slab edges, expansion joints and plumbing penetrations.
  2. Garages, block walls, fences and wood in contact with soil.
  3. Interior baseboards, door and window frames, closets and cabinets.
  4. Accessible attic areas and crawl spaces.
  5. Moisture sources such as leaks, irrigation overspray and poor drainage.

You receive a written report of findings, photos of any activity or damage, and treatment recommendations.

Termites in Las Vegas vs South Florida

Las Vegas: subterranean termites live in the soil and enter through slab cracks and plumbing gaps, usually near moisture. Yes, desert homes get them. Read Termites in Las Vegas for details.

South Florida: subterranean termites, including invasive Formosan and Asian species, and drywood termites that live inside framing, trim and furniture. Swarms peak in spring and early summer.

Florida WDO inspection reports

Many Florida home sales and refinances require a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection. Swat It! provides WDO inspections and the official Florida WDO report for buyers, sellers, agents and lenders in Broward and Miami-Dade. Call (954) 231-5900 with your closing date and we will schedule around it.

Treatment if we find termites

Depending on species and location, treatment may include liquid soil treatment, bait systems or localized treatment of drywood colonies. See our termite control page.

FAQ

Reliable Answers To Common Questions

1. How long does a termite inspection take?

Most single-family homes take about an hour, depending on size, access and construction.

2. Do Las Vegas homes really get termites?

Yes. Subterranean termites live in the soil across the valley and enter homes through slab cracks and plumbing gaps, especially where there is moisture.

3. What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?

Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood they eat and leave small pellets behind. South Florida has both; Las Vegas mainly has subterranean termites.

4. Do I get a written report?

Yes. You receive a written report with findings, photos of any activity or damage, and recommendations.

5. Can you inspect for a home sale?

Yes. In Florida we provide WDO inspections and the official WDO report, and in Nevada we provide a written termite inspection report. Call (702) 760-2906 in Nevada or (954) 231-5900 in Florida and tell us your closing timeline.
