He said the biggest thing home owners & landscapers do is put mulch or bedding right up to the foundation, it should be pulled back 6-8 inches.
That un-invites them
I had my inspection done at the 11 month mark, I said your too early come back next month, he said it wouldn't happen in a month to change any signs of their presence.
He walked around the house never came in or checked the attic. Kinda a joke.
I'll check my foundation a few times a year while gardening, save $500-700 dollars of the years, then maybe treat it.
You can buy the same stuff they use online for under $75.

You left out the most important part of the retreat and annual inspection - the insurance policy that comes with that. So if the little buggers have eaten up your house before you notice the damage the insurance will pay for the repairs. By the time our swarmers showed up to indicate a problem an entire wall and balcony were in the process of being destroyed
