Year-Round Termite Protection
The PestNow Process
1) A Thorough Inspection A licensed professional will check your home from top to bottom during the termite inspection. We look at the foundation, crawl spaces, garage, and even the landscaping around your house. You will receive a clear report with photos so you can see exactly what we found and how we plan to fix it.
2) Smart Treatment Options We use the best methods to get rid of termites and keep them away.
3) Long-Term Protection You will schedule a yearly check-up to make sure the termites aren't present. As long as your Renewable Termite Warranty is up to date, PestNow will retreat your property, at no cost, if termites appear.
Termites can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage before homeowners notice the warning signs. Whether you need a termite inspection, treatment plan, WDI report, or long-term warranty protection, PestNow is here to help.

Termite Control Options
A home is often a person's biggest financial asset, and termites can quietly eat away at that value. PestNow ensures that when it's time to move, your home stands out for the right reasons.
- Crofton WDI Inspections: Most mortgage lenders require a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) report before they will approve a loan. If you are selling your home, a surprise termite discovery can delay your closing or even cause the buyer to walk away. PestNow provides quick, detailed inspections and the official paperwork needed to keep your real estate closing on track.
- Transferable Termite Warranty: One of the biggest selling points for a house is a PestNow Renewable Termite Warranty. If you have an active protection plan, you can transfer that warranty to the new owners. This gives buyers total peace of mind, knowing the home has been professionally guarded and that they won't be hit with unexpected repair bills right after moving in.

All Your Termite Questions
Answered
What is a WDI Report?
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) report is a specialized inspection required by most lenders for home purchases or refinances. It checks for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. In the DMV, this report is essential for a smooth real estate closing, and PestNow provides these fast, digital reports to realtors and buyers to keep the process moving.
Does my homeowners' insurance cover termite damage?
Unfortunately, no. Standard homeowners' insurance in Virginia, Maryland, and DC almost never covers termite damage or repairs. This is why a professional warranty is so important—it acts as the protection your insurance company doesn't provide.
How does a termite warranty work?
1. The Initial Treatment
To start a warranty, your home must first be treated or inspected by a professional at PestNow. We create a protective barrier around your foundation using high-quality products. This ensures that any existing termites are eliminated and new ones are blocked from entering.
2. The Annual Inspection
A warranty is only as good as the eyes watching over your home. Every year, a PestNow expert will visit your property to perform a thorough inspection. We check for:
New termite activity or mud tubes.
Changes to your yard, like new mulch or soil that might have broken the barrier.
Moisture issues that could attract future colonies.
3. The Renewal Fee
To keep your warranty active, there is a yearly renewal fee. This fee covers the cost of your annual inspection and guarantees that your protection stays in place. If you stop paying the renewal, the warranty expires, and you would have to pay for a full new treatment if termites ever returned.
4. Coverage and Repairs
If termites are found while your warranty is active, PestNow takes action based on your plan:
Retreat Warranty: We will re-treat the affected area at no additional cost to you.
Repair & Retreat Warranty: This is the highest level of protection. If new damage occurs while under this plan, we help cover the cost of the structural repairs in addition to killing the termites.
5. Transferring to a New Owner
If you decide to sell your home, the PestNow warranty is fully transferable.
How do I know if I actually have termites or just ants?
It is very common for homeowners to confuse Termite Swarmers with Flying Ants, especially in the spring. Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a thick waist, whereas ants have elbowed antennae and "pinched" waists. PestNow provides professional inspections to give you a definitive ID so you don't pay for a termite treatment you might not need—or ignore a problem that is eating your home.
