Every year, termites cause billions of dollars of structural damage, and property owners spend over $2 billion treating these destructive pests. Preventing an infestation can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars out of your own pocket since many insurance companies will not cover termite damage. The destruction can be extensive, requiring repairs to structural beams, windows and even interior wall framing, which is why it’s vital to have a professional termite inspector visit your home annually.

Fortunately, Thumbtack — a convenient home services app used by millions — makes it easier than ever to find top-rated termite inspectors in the Palm Harbor area. Each pro on Thumbtack has their own profile with price information, allowing you to find a termite inspector who works within your budget.

While the cost for inspection will vary depending on various factors — such as your home’s size, if there are hard-to-reach areas and whether you have additional outbuildings to inspect — the average fixed cost for a termite inspection in the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL region is $134, according to data obtained by Thumbtack.
