Identifying the species is most important.

The property owner does not need to know what species of termite is attacking the house, but will be informed on what species are located, enabeling them to understand, that each species have different attributes, behaviours, and implications of treatment.

The following is a short list of  important referances to consider before, during, and after,the Inspection.

1. Location and the intensity of numbers of termites.
2. Which species is present.
3. Are there more then one species present.
4. What are the food source preferances.
5. What is the food source.
6. Is food source softwood or hardwood
7. What conditions are increasing the rate of attack.
8. Where is their water source.
9. Can a nest be discovered
10. What location is the nest either positively, or suspected to be.
11. Is the species a hardwood or softwood preferred species

There are many more notations that must be made during an inspection. And everthing has to be considered during an Inspection, Reporting, Recommendations and Treatments. Unless all detail is gathered, it would be impossible to advise on what Treatment is required to be performed. Every Termite attack must be addressed upon its own merits. No two attacks or structures are identical.
