The entire goal of a termite and pest inspection is to find any signs of infestation or damage in and around your home or business. If inspectors don’t find anything, you are in good shape and can rest easy for the moment. If they do find signs, the good news is that they can eliminate the termites and pests before they do any more damage.
Inspection Process
Once you contact the Termite and Pest Inspector and schedule the inspector, the process will look like this:
Introduction
A professional should arrive on time and come dressed in a uniform or recognizable logo on his / her shirt. They should introduce themselves to you. You should feel comfortable with them in your home since the exterminator will need to move around both inside and outside.
Entry Point Inspection
This will target common “hot spots”, or entry points, for insects, rodents, and other pests. Common entry points are bathrooms, kitchens, garages, attics, walls, pipes, windows, doors, decks, and crawlspaces. These are all areas where insects, rodents, and other pests enter the home. An inspection of these areas takes some time, as the professional will need to look for cracks and find hidden areas that could allow pests to enter. A thorough pest control inspection should include both inside and outside inspection of the structure.
Moisture Inspection
The exterminator will check moisture in and around your home. A moist area is more likely to attract and harbor pests then one that is dry. They will use a flashlight and tools including a moisture meter to find areas that may pose a problem.
Review & Report
The exterminator will need to take a few minutes to put together their findings.
Findings
The inspector will then sit down with you to discuss the findings. Depending on which company you use and if they find anything, the pest control professional may be available to begin the treatment right then.
Partner
This could be your partner to keep your home or business pest free.
Annual Inspections
Prevention is less expensive than elimination. It is recommended that you have an annual inspection because pests can arrive unexpectedly and do major damage to your home’s foundation. It is also important to hire a state-licensed and insured professional so you know you are getting it done correctly. Termites and pests are sneaky and take up residence in unlikely places that you cannot see or find. It takes a professional to know where to find them.
