What must be reported on the Form 13645?

The Form 13645 is specifically designed for reporting details about termite inspections and related findings. Among the various elements that must be documented, the inclusion of evidence, damage, and live organisms is critical. This detailed reporting ensures that all significant aspects of a termite infestation are captured accurately, which is vital for effective treatment and prevention strategies.

The evidence pertains to visible signs that indicate a termite presence, such as mud tubes or frass, while damage refers to any structural harm that the termites have caused. Additionally, documenting live organisms—meaning the actual presence of termites during the inspection—provides the most definitive proof of an active infestation. Collectively, these components are essential for assessing the severity of the infestation and determining the appropriate course of action to manage and mitigate termite problems effectively.

Other options listed, such as previous pest treatments, property structure age, and the type of termite infestation, offer useful information but do not hold the same level of immediacy and criticality regarding the current state of the infestation as evidence, damage, and live organisms do.
