The cost of a pest and termite inspection is often included with a pre-purchase building inspection. However, the cost can vary depending on the type of inspection you need and how many rooms and areas the property has. A pest inspection is also necessary if you are applying for an FHA loan, which requires you to purchase a home that is free from wood-destroying insects. If you have a problem with termites, you must have the property professionally inspected and exterminated before you can apply for an FHA loan. The cost of a pest inspection may vary from $250 to $400. Usually, the seller will cover the cost, but some companies will offer a discount if they are hired to treat the home as well.
