FAQ
Common Questions About Scheduling and Service
Have questions about scheduling, inspections, termite treatment options, or how Proven Termite Solutions works? This page answers some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners throughout the Bay Area. Because every property and termite concern can be different, some details are best handled by phone so our team can gather the right information, confirm availability, and help guide you toward the next appropriate step.
Proven Termite Solutions FAQ
The best way to schedule a termite inspection is by calling our office directly. Termite inspections are generally available Monday through Friday, subject to inspector availability and existing appointment schedules.
Inspection availability changes quickly as appointments are booked, so appointments cannot be scheduled or guaranteed online, through chat, or by email.
If our office is closed, please leave your contact information and a member of our customer service team will return your call to discuss availability and schedule your appointment.
To help determine the right appointment type and better understand your property, our team will ask a few questions, including:
Are you the owner and occupant of the property?
What prompted your call and what kind of termite evidence or concerns are you seeing?
Have you worked with Proven Termite Solutions before?
How long have you owned the property?
Have you completed termite treatment at the property in the past?
Gathering this information helps our team better understand the property history and schedule the most appropriate inspection.
No. Appointments cannot be scheduled or confirmed online.
Website forms, chat systems, and email inquiries allow customers to submit information and request service, but appointment availability must be reviewed and confirmed by the Proven Termite Solutions office.
Once your information has been received, a member of our team will contact you to discuss availability and schedule an appointment.
Appointments are only confirmed by the Proven Termite Solutions office and cannot be confirmed through website forms, chat systems, email inquiries, or automated responses.
Appointment dates and arrival windows depend on scheduling and inspector availability and are not guaranteed until confirmed directly by a live Proven Termite Solutions customer service representative.
Once an appointment has been scheduled, clients will receive confirmation directly from our office.
If a treatment appointment or fumigation has been scheduled, clients will also receive a detailed email regarding their service, preparation requirements, and scheduling information, as applicable.
If you are unsure whether an appointment has been confirmed, please contact our office for verification.
Appointment availability depends on current scheduling and inspector availability.
Unlike some general pest concerns that may require immediate treatment, termite inspections are considered non-emergency evaluations and are scheduled based on availability rather than emergency dispatch.
This is because both drywood and subterranean termites typically work at a relatively slow pace. In most situations, whether an inspection occurs today or next week, the damage will not be exponentially greater and the outcome is unlikely to be significantly different.
The important thing to understand is that once you have confirmed or suspected evidence of active termite activity, the issue should be evaluated and addressed. Waiting extended periods of time to investigate or treat termite activity can lead to more extensive damage and potentially higher repair or treatment costs over time.
Submitting a service request, contact form, or chat inquiry does not create or confirm an appointment.
Once your information has been received, a member of the Proven Termite Solutions customer service team will review your request and contact you to discuss your property, answer any additional questions, and discuss appointment availability.
Our team may ask additional questions about:
The property location
Termite evidence or concerns observed
Property ownership or occupancy
Previous termite treatment history
Whether you have worked with Proven Termite Solutions in the past
After gathering the necessary information, our office will schedule the appropriate inspection or next step based on availability and the needs of the property.

Fumigation pricing is not created based solely on photos, reports, or property information because accurate pricing requires measurements of the structure or an on-site evaluation.
For fumigation specifically, pricing is based on the cubic volume of the structure, along with factors such as:
Construction type
Roof design and height
Attached structures
Inaccessible or difficult-to-access areas
Construction design can significantly affect cubic volume and fumigation complexity. Features such as high-pitched roofs, multiple rooflines, attached structures, or homes built over subareas rather than slab foundations may require additional measurements and consideration during the estimating process.
Because of this, a true fumigation estimate requires accurate measurements of the structure.
Pricing based only on online information, real estate listings, or approximate square footage does not provide enough information to create an accurate estimate. Two homes with similar square footage may have significantly different fumigation costs depending on their design and construction.
Photos, reports, or property information may help our team understand the property conditions, but they do not replace the measurements required to create an accurate fumigation estimate.
Accurate fumigation pricing cannot be provided over the phone without sufficient information about the structure.
Because fumigation pricing is based on cubic volume and construction characteristics, measurements of the structure or an on-site evaluation are typically required before an accurate estimate can be provided.
Our team may be able to discuss general information about the fumigation process and next steps, but pricing is not generated from a brief phone conversation alone.
Termite treatment recommendations are based on the conditions found at the property and cannot be created without understanding the type, location, and extent of termite activity present.
Before treatment is recommended, our team typically evaluates information such as:
The type of termite or wood-destroying organism present
Evidence of active or past termite activity
The location and accessibility of affected areas
Construction design and structural conditions
Previous termite treatment history
Whether activity appears localized or more widespread
Because termite conditions vary from property to property, treatment recommendations are based on the actual findings at the structure rather than a single treatment approach or online description of the problem.
Photos, reports, or customer observations may help us understand the situation, but an inspection or evaluation is often needed before recommending treatment.
No. Pricing cannot be created from photos alone.
Photos may help our team better understand the property conditions, termite activity, or areas of concern, but photographs do not provide all of the information required to create an accurate estimate.
For fumigation, measurements of the structure are required because pricing is based on cubic volume and construction characteristics.
For localized termite treatment, an inspection or evaluation is often needed to determine the type of termite activity, accessibility of the affected areas, treatment requirements, and overall scope of work.
Photos may help guide the conversation, but they do not replace the information needed to create an accurate estimate.

No.
Proven Termite Solutions specializes in termite control, structural fumigation, and wood-destroying organism services.
Proven Termite Solutions does not provide general pest control services for ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, mosquitoes, rodents, wildlife, or other non-wood-destroying pests.
If you are looking for general pest control services, please contact a licensed pest control provider that specializes in those services.
Yes! Proven Termite Solutions is licensed to perform termite inspections, termite treatment, and structural fumigation.
Unlike many termite companies in the Bay Area, Proven Termite Solutions performs its own fumigations rather than routinely subcontracting fumigation work to another provider.
For homeowners, this creates a more consistent experience from inspection and treatment recommendations through fumigation preparation, treatment, and follow-up inspections.
In certain circumstances, service logistics or location may affect how fumigation services are coordinated. Our office will communicate directly with customers regarding their specific project.
No.
While structural fumigation can be used for different pests depending on the situation, Proven Termite Solutions does not provide fumigation services for bed bugs.
Proven Termite Solutions specializes in structural fumigation for drywood termites and certain wood-boring beetles.
If you are seeking bed bug treatment services, please contact a licensed pest control company that specializes in bed bug control.
Proven Termite Solutions performs structural fumigation for:
Drywood termites
Certain wood-boring beetles
Structural fumigation is commonly used when termite or beetle activity is widespread, hidden, or located in areas that cannot be effectively treated using localized treatment methods.
Treatment methods, preparation requirements, and fumigation procedures vary depending on the target pest and property conditions.
Not all pests are treated with structural fumigation, and Proven Termite Solutions does not perform structural fumigation for bed bugs.
No--Unlike some general pest concerns that may require immediate treatment, termite inspections are considered non-emergency evaluations and are scheduled based on availability rather than emergency dispatch.
This is because both drywood and subterranean termites typically work at a relatively slow pace. In most situations, whether an inspection occurs today or next week, the damage will not be exponentially greater and a short scheduling delay is unlikely to significantly change the outcome.
The important thing to understand is that once you have confirmed or suspected evidence of active termite activity, the issue should be evaluated and addressed. Waiting extended periods of time to investigate or treat termite activity can lead to more extensive damage and potentially higher repair or treatment costs over time.
Termite inspections are generally available Monday through Friday, subject to inspector availability and existing appointment schedules.
Inspection availability changes as appointments are booked and no inspection date, time, or arrival window is guaranteed unless confirmed directly by a live Proven Termite Solutions customer service representative.
Appointments cannot be scheduled or confirmed through website forms, chat systems, email inquiries, or automated responses.
If termite activity, termite damage, or conditions conducive to termite activity are identified during the inspection, the inspector will explain the findings and discuss available treatment options.
Treatment recommendations are based on the type of termite activity present, the location and extent of the activity, accessibility, construction design, and other property-specific factors.
Not all termite findings require the same treatment. Depending on the conditions present, recommendations may include monitoring, localized treatment, subterranean termite treatment, structural fumigation, corrective measures, or a combination of services.
A written report and recommendations will be provided when applicable.
No. An inspection does not obligate you to purchase termite treatment or fumigation services.
If termite activity or damage is identified, our team will explain the findings and provide treatment recommendations based on the conditions present at the property.
The decision to move forward with treatment is always the property owner's choice unless treatment is required by a lender, real estate transaction, insurance requirement, or another third party.
