Why You Need a Termite Warranty

Termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even realize they're there. Unlike many pests, termites live underground and inside wood, making them difficult to detect without professional inspections. By the time the signs become obvious—such as hollow wood, mud tubes, or sagging floors—the damage is already done.

A termite warranty gives you ongoing protection and peace of mind. At PestNow, we stand behind our termite protection services with a Re-Treatment Warranty. That means if subterranean termites are ever found while your warranty is active, we will return and re-treat the affected areas at no additional cost to you.

Simply put, a termite warranty acts as a safety net for one of your biggest investments: your home. It ensures that any new termite activity is addressed quickly, effectively.

We'll Put Our Report Up Against Anyone Else's...And Still Be Better

When buying or selling a home, peace of mind is everything—and so is paperwork. A Termite Letter, also known as a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Report or CL-100, is a crucial document that provides a professional assessment of whether a property shows signs of termites or other wood-destroying insects. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or real estate agent, a Termite Letter is often required by mortgage lenders before closing on a property.

At PestNow, we provide accurate and timely WDI Reports for homebuyers, sellers, lenders, and real estate professionals across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

How can I tell if I have termites in my home?

Common signs of a termite infestation include:

Mud tubes along foundation walls
Bubbling or uneven paint
Hollow-sounding wood
Discarded wings near windows or doors. Termite swarms indoors, especially in spring, is a major red flag.
Visible damage to wood structures.

What time of year are termites most active?

Termites are active year-round, but swarm season typically occurs in spring, especially after a warm rain. Subterranean termites, the most common type in the area, are particularly noticeable from March to May.

Our termite service agreements transfer at no cost. If you just purchased a home under warranty with PestNow, all you have to do is provide us with your name and contact information. One of our friendly Team Members will take care of the rest.

How can I tell the difference between flying ants and termites?

Distinguishing between swarming termites and flying ants can be challenging, but there are key differences to note:

Termites feature straight antennae, a broad waist, and short legs. Their wings are identical in size and shape, with a lace-like appearance.
In contrast, ants have elbowed antennae, a slender, pinched waist, and longer legs. Their hind wings are smaller than their front wings.

What is a termite letter?

A termite letter, also known as a termite inspection report or wood-destroying insect report, is a document provided by a licensed pest control company. This report includes information about any current or previous termite activity and any damage caused by termites or other wood-destroying organisms.

Are termites covered by homeowners' insurance?

No, termite damage is rarely covered by standard homeowners insurance policies in our area. Since termite infestations are considered preventable with proper maintenance and routine inspections, insurance companies typically exclude this type of damage.

What is a termite warranty?

A termite warranty is a protection plan offered by pest control companies that provides ongoing coverage against termite infestations. Think of it like an insurance policy for your home against termites.

Inspection & Monitoring

Periodic inspections (often yearly) to check for termite activity.
Early detection helps prevent serious damage before it spreads.

Treatment Coverage

If termites are found while the warranty is active, the company comes back to retreat the affected areas at no additional cost.
