A Hempstead property owner or manager may receive a report about damaged wood or unfamiliar winged insects. Preserve the description as reported. Neither a general damage concern nor a picture online establishes a termite diagnosis.

Information to gather

Record the location and any photographs already available. Collect earlier reports or treatment records when you have them. Identify areas requiring a caretaker or keyholder before scheduling inspection.

Information to request

Ask about inspection limits, written findings, proposed treatment, and future checks. Keep structural repairs separate from pest-service charges unless the agreement explicitly includes them. Everyone approving work should understand those boundaries.
