Termite Treatment Quote Scope Comparer

Use this private checklist to compare termite treatment quotes side by side. It helps you see what each company includes—inspection findings, treatment method, warranty, and follow-up visits. The tool does not recommend a provider or price. Always verify that the professional is licensed and the treatment follows the product label. If you are unsure about identification or safety, pause and get a second opinion before signing anything.

How to Use This Checklist

This tool is a private worksheet that stays in your browser. No data is sent to us or any contractor. You can fill it out while reviewing quotes from different termite companies.

The checklist covers the main parts of a treatment scope: what the inspector found, how they plan to treat, what product they will use, and what happens after treatment. It also helps you spot missing details.

Open the checklist on your phone or computer while reviewing quotes.
Fill in one column per company so you can compare side by side.
Look for gaps—if a quote is missing a key detail, ask the company to explain.
Do not rely on this tool alone; always read the full contract and warranty.
If a quote seems too low or too vague, get another opinion before deciding.

What to Look for in Inspection Findings

A thorough quote starts with a clear inspection report. The company should tell you what type of termite they found, where the activity is, and how extensive the damage appears.

If the identification is uncertain, the EPA advises getting a confirmed ID before treatment. A photo alone is not enough—ask if they collected a specimen or saw live activity.

Type of termite (subterranean, drywood, etc.) and how it was identified.
Location of mud tubes, damaged wood, or live termites.
Whether the damage is active or old, and if moisture issues are present.
Photos or a diagram showing the affected areas.
A note on any areas they could not access or inspect.

Comparing Treatment Methods and Products

Quotes should specify the treatment method—liquid soil treatment, bait system, or direct wood treatment—and the exact product name. The EPA requires that all termiticides be applied according to the label.

Ask how they will handle drilling or trenching, and what precautions they take for people and pets. A good quote explains where the treatment will go and why that method was chosen.

Product name and EPA registration number.
Application method (trenching, drilling, bait stations, etc.).
Areas to be treated and any areas excluded.
Instructions for occupants and pets during and after treatment.
How long you need to stay away, if at all, and any air-out period.

Warranty, Follow-Up, and Renewal Terms

Most termite treatments come with a warranty or service agreement. Compare what is covered—retreatment only, repair of new damage, or both—and for how long.

Check the renewal terms. Some warranties require annual inspections and renewal fees. Understand what happens if you sell the home or miss a renewal payment.

Length of warranty and what it covers (retreatment, damage repair).
Follow-up inspection schedule and whether it is included.
Renewal cost and conditions—is it fixed or can it increase?
Exclusions: what types of damage or termite species are not covered.
Transferability if you sell the home.

What homeowners ask next

Can I use this checklist instead of reading the contract?

No. This checklist helps you compare key points, but you must read the full contract and warranty before signing. If anything is unclear, ask the company to explain in writing.

What if two quotes recommend different treatment methods?

Ask each company why they chose that method for your situation. A reputable professional will explain the pros and cons based on the termite type, construction, and infestation extent. You can also get a third opinion.

Does this tool tell me which quote is best?

No. The tool only helps you organize the information. The best choice depends on your home, budget, and comfort with the company. Always verify licenses and check references.

Need an on-site professional?
