Our Philosophy: Your Grandmother’s House
We inspect every home like our own grandmother was buying it. That means looking carefully for termites and the conditions that invite them, telling you plainly what we find, and protecting the deal without cutting corners. You’ll never get an upsell from us on a termite letter.
What Happens During a Termite Inspection
A licensed U.S. Pest inspector checks the home inside and out, including the crawl space and attic when they’re accessible, for live termites, signs of past activity, old damage, and conducive conditions like moisture and wood touching soil. Your report goes out by email as a PDF, with photos if you’d like them, to every agent, lender, and title contact you give us.Total Home Pest Protection, Made Simple

Why Realtors Call U.S. Pest
Realtors tell us about the same frustrations with termite letters elsewhere, and here’s how we handle each one:What If We Find Termites?
If an inspection turns up termite activity or damage, we can treat within 24 hours. Once you agree to treatment and it’s complete, we issue a clear letter, so the closing stays on track. Learn more about our termite treatment.
Termite Agreements Transfer to the Buyer, Free
If the home already has a U.S. Pest termite agreement, it transfers to the new owner at no charge, and the damage repair warranty carries over. For listing agents, that’s a selling point. For buyers, it’s protection from day one.
How a Termite Letter Fits Into Your Sale
- Before listing: sellers can schedule a pre-listing termite inspection, so there are no surprises once an offer comes in.
- About 30 days before closing: the ideal time to schedule the buyer’s termite inspection. It leaves plenty of room if treatment turns out to be needed.
- Inspection day: we coordinate access with the agent, whether that’s a lockbox or something else, and let you know by call, text, or email when it’s scheduled and when it’s done.
- Report day: your letter is emailed within a few hours of the inspection to everyone on the transaction.
- If termites turn up: we treat within 24 hours and issue a clear letter once treatment is complete.
- At closing: an existing U.S. Pest termite agreement transfers to the buyer, free.
What Each Side of the Deal Gets
- Listing agents: a pre-listing inspection that heads off surprises, and a transferable termite agreement to highlight in the listing.
- Buyer’s agents: a fast, plain-language report with photos on request, delivered within hours so your clients can move forward with confidence.
- Buyers: an honest look at the home’s termite history and condition, and protection that can carry over at closing.
- Sellers: quick scheduling that works around showings, and quick treatment if anything is found, so your closing date holds.
Termite Letter Pricing
- Current U.S. Pest customers: $95
- Everyone else: $125
- Rush and weekend inspections: no rush fee
If an inspection finds termites and treatment is needed, you’ll know the treatment price before any work begins.
