A pest inspection should be performed annually to prevent severe damage to your home, and you also should have one before you purchase a property to ensure it’s free of problems. If you’ve never had a pest inspection, you might be wondering what happens during the process. Closer Look Home Inspectors provide thorough inspections throughout the area and will explain what to expect during your appointment.
Outdoor Inspection
Our inspector first will examine the exterior of your home for signs of a pest infestation. They will look for small holes, cracks, and other places that would allow insects or rodents to enter. They also will check for signs of pests near your home’s foundation, such as nests or termite mud tubes.
Indoor Inspection
The inspector will also search your house’s interior for signs of mice, ants, roaches, and other pests. This part of a pest inspection will focus on baseboards and the insides of cabinets, where pests often leave droppings and other traces of their presence while searching for food. It also will cover crawl spaces, your basement, and your attic, where an infestation often can go undetected until it becomes severe. In some instances, the pest control professional even will find live creatures.
If you think you have an insect or rodent problem or need to arrange a pest inspection before a house purchase, contact the inspectors at Closer Look Home Inspectors!
