A termite inspection is only useful if it produces documentation you can hand to a lender, a buyer, or a contractor. Show Me Pest Control provides that — a certified inspection report with everything documented before any treatment decision is made.
Call +1-866-315-0243 — Schedule InspectionFrom written report to transferable warranty, here is what distinguishes a certified inspection from a visual walk-through.
We produce inspection reports that serve a real purpose — not a one-page checklist. Findings are documented with photographs and location notes, formatted for use by your realtor, lender, or attorney.
One treatment protocol does not fit every termite infestation. After species identification, we present multiple treatment options matched to the infestation type, the structure, and the extent of activity — with cost and projected timeline for each approach.
We have completed termite inspections for real estate transactions across New Castle, CO. Our reports name the licensed inspector, the inspection date, all findings, and all treatment options — the format your lender and realtor can work with directly.
A treatment warranty that transfers with the property is a selling point, not just a service benefit. Our warranties move with the home — the new owner inherits the coverage documentation without paying for a new setup.
Every Show Me Pest Control termite inspection in New Castle produces a written report with findings, photographs, and itemized treatment options. The document is yours to keep regardless of whether you proceed with treatment.
Species identification is not a formality — it is the decision that determines every treatment step that follows. Subterranean termites, which travel between the soil and structure through mud tubes, respond to soil barrier and bait station programs. Drywood termites, which have no soil dependency, may require localized wood injection, fumigation, or heat treatment depending on extent and location. Formosan colonies, known for their size and aggression, require a more intensive approach than standard subterranean programs. Show Me Pest Control inspectors in New Castle confirm species before presenting options — this is the core reason the written report matters.
Identifying termite evidence before it becomes structural damage is the purpose of a scheduled inspection — not a reactive call. The signs that most homeowners in New Castle miss before calling: swarmer wings near window frames in late winter and spring; mud tubes on foundation exterior that resemble dried dirt streaks; hollow-sounding floor framing detected by tapping with a probe; frass deposits, which look like fine sand or coffee grounds, near baseboards or beneath furniture in contact with wood framing; and bubbling or slightly raised paint near sills or door frames. A certified inspector looks for all of these specifically because they can be present without obvious visible damage.

The inspection workflow at Show Me Pest Control follows a consistent sequence regardless of the property type. The inspector arrives with a moisture meter, probe, and flashlight at minimum — these tools help detect activity in areas that show no surface evidence. The exterior inspection covers the full foundation perimeter, all utility and pipe entry points, attached structures, and visible wood-to-soil contacts. The interior inspection covers subfloor access points, visible framing in crawl spaces and basements, attic framing if accessible, and any interior walls or structural members showing surface irregularities. Moisture meter readings at suspect areas help differentiate active moisture-driven wood damage from termite activity. All findings are documented during the inspection with photographs and location notes. The written report is the output: it identifies what was found, where it was found, whether activity appears active or historical, what conducive conditions were observed, and what the inspector recommends as treatment options — priced by option before you decide anything.
The written report presents treatment options because the appropriate method depends on what the inspection finds, not on a standard package. Liquid barrier treatment creates a soil zone that terminates subterranean colonies crossing the foundation perimeter — appropriate for active infestations and preventive treatment in high-risk areas. Bait stations require more time to suppress colonies but offer an effective, low-disturbance approach suited to properties where drilling is undesirable. Wood injection addresses localized drywood activity directly and is less invasive than fumigation when the infestation is limited in scope. Fumigation is warranted when drywood activity has spread broadly through the structure and cannot be effectively addressed room by room. Your inspector explains which options apply to the conditions found and why, with pricing for each, before any treatment is scheduled.
Real estate termite inspections in New Castle are most useful when they happen early in the process, not as a last-minute requirement. A seller who schedules the inspection before listing arrives at negotiation with documentation — either a clean clearance report or a completed treatment warranty — that removes the uncertainty a buyer's inspector might otherwise introduce. Lenders in most conventional mortgage transactions require documentation of termite inspection; having a current Show Me Pest Control report on hand shortens the closing timeline and demonstrates due diligence. The transferable treatment warranty means the buyer inherits the coverage without initiating a new service relationship, which is a meaningful benefit that experienced buyers and their agents understand.
Every treatment option listed here follows from an inspection report — we do not sell packages without first knowing what is there.
Our New Castle termite inspection produces a complete written report at the time of the visit. Every finding is photographed and documented, active activity is distinguished from historical evidence, and treatment options are presented with cost before you commit to anything.
A soil barrier treatment in New Castle involves trenching or drilling along the foundation perimeter, injecting termiticide at the prescribed rate, and creating a chemical zone termites crossing the foundation enter. Typically combined with a service warranty.
Bait stations offer a lower-disturbance alternative to soil injection, with ongoing monitoring built into the program. Stations are checked on a scheduled basis; active stations are serviced and documented. Colony suppression typically occurs over a longer timeline than liquid treatment.
When drywood infestation is not limited to one or two identifiable areas, fumigation provides the only method of ensuring the entire structure is treated. The inspector's written findings will indicate when this scope of treatment is warranted.
This is the targeted alternative to fumigation for drywood situations that have not spread widely through the structure. Show Me Pest Control's inspectors in New Castle identify whether localized injection is appropriate based on the written findings — the report explains the scope and the basis for the recommendation.
An annual inspection renews your treatment warranty, maintains the documented service record, and catches any new activity before it advances. For property managers, real estate investors, and homeowners in New Castle who want a maintained inspection record, the annual program provides scheduled service and ongoing documentation.
Every step moves toward the same outcome: a written record you can act on.

The exterior and interior inspection follows a documented sequence. No visible area is skipped. Photographs and notes are recorded throughout so the written report is accurate and complete.
The written report documents all findings, includes photographs, distinguishes active from historical activity, lists all conducive conditions observed, and presents applicable treatment options with itemized pricing. This report is yours.
Treatment is performed at the scope the report found to be warranted. The warranty is issued on completion and is formatted for lender and real estate use. Renewal scheduling is handled by Show Me Pest Control so the coverage does not lapse.
Three situations where the written report and treatment documentation made a measurable difference.
Our closing was ten days out when the home inspector flagged possible swarmer evidence. Show Me Pest Control arrived, conducted the inspection, identified an active subterranean colony and its entry point, issued the written report the same day, and completed the liquid barrier treatment in time. The buyer received the warranty documentation at closing and the lender signed off. The inspection that day was the most important phone call we made in that entire transaction.
I put off the inspection for years because I did not see anything obvious. When I finally called Show Me Pest Control, the inspector found historic evidence in the crawl space and active mud tube evidence at the rear foundation that I had walked past many times without recognizing it. Treatment was straightforward because we caught it early. Two follow-up inspections and the property is clean. The annual renewal is now on the calendar permanently.
After a costly and entirely preventable termite situation at one of my rentals, I moved all fourteen units to annual inspections with Show Me Pest Control. The written service records simplify lender conversations, the annual inspection catches issues before they become structural, and in three years we have had two early-stage finds that were treated cheaply under warranty. I should have done this from the start of owning the portfolio.
The most reliable way to know whether you have termites is a certified inspection by a licensed inspector who uses a probe, moisture meter, and systematic property walkthrough to document what is actually present. Signs that indicate you should schedule one: swarmer wings near windows or doors in spring; mud tubes on the foundation exterior; hollow-sounding wood when probed or tapped; frass deposits near baseboards; paint irregularities near door and window frames. Call +1-866-315-0243 and we will schedule an inspection in New Castle.
The inspection covers the exterior foundation line from end to end, all utility penetrations and pipe entry points, any visible wood-to-soil contact, crawl space and subfloor framing if accessible, attic framing if accessible, and interior areas identified as warranting closer inspection based on the exterior findings. The moisture meter identifies elevated moisture readings in wall and floor areas that do not show surface evidence. All findings are documented in the written report issued at the time of the inspection.
For most active subterranean infestations in New Castle, liquid barrier treatment is typically completed within a few days of the property owner approving the written treatment plan. Bait station installation can be done at the same time or in a follow-up visit. Wood injection for limited drywood activity is also schedulable within days. Tent fumigation requires more preparation time — typically one to two weeks from the decision to complete, depending on scheduling and preparation readiness. Your written report will include a timeline estimate for each option that applies to your situation.
The main practical differences between bait stations and liquid barrier: application method (drilling and injection vs. in-ground stations); timeline to colony suppression (barrier is faster-acting; bait takes longer but works continuously); property disturbance (barrier involves trenching or drilling; bait involves only digging shallow station holes); ongoing program (bait stations require monitoring visits included in the program fee; barrier treatment is typically a one-time application with a warranty). Both are appropriate for subterranean termites. The conditions found in the inspection determine which is the better fit.
Show Me Pest Control warranties are structured to transfer with the property at sale. The buyer receives the warranty documentation, the treatment records, and the service history maintained by Show Me Pest Control. The transfer does not require a new service setup or additional payment at the time of sale. Call +1-866-315-0243 for the specific terms of the warranty applicable to the treatment completed at your New Castle property.
For most New Castle properties, annual inspections are appropriate. New Castle, CO has documented termite pressure in most areas, and an annual inspection keeps the treatment warranty current, maintains a service history useful for real estate and lending, and allows for early detection of new activity before it advances to structural involvement. Properties that have had previous treatment, properties with elevated moisture near the foundation, or investment properties being managed across multiple units benefit most from the consistency of an annual program.
