Why Are Regular Pest Inspections Excellent Decisions?

The biggest issue with pests is that, once you start to see them—it might be too late. For some of the most common pests like ants, roaches, spiders, and termites, one usually means more. Even the smallest sign of pests on your property calls for a solution. It’s time to call a professional. Don’t let that first panicked sighting could become one of many. Instead, consider hiring a pest control company for regular pest inspections and home services.

What do Regular Pest Inspections Entail?

Just like hiring an HVAC technician, a proper pest control provider keeps your home life moving bug-free.

Well, what is a home inspection?

Basically, a pest professional will check out the most vulnerable or pest-likely places in your home. This includes checking for signs of pest activity like droppings, bite/scratch marks, and even dead pests. Afterward, they will provide you with a report of what was found, and the current pest level of your home. Based on the risk or state of infestation, they should recommend some options on how to keep your home pest free. Most of the time it will be suggested to hire a regular inspection plan depending on how intense the issue is or how concerned you might be about pests.

It can be tempting to take care of the problem yourself. If you suspect an issue and can see where it is coming from, it may be possible for some DIY relief. (Check out our other blog on easy pest prevention tips here.) Searching and cleaning can be effective when it comes to pest problems; however, prevention is usually best left to the professionals.

How Long Do Pest Inspections Take?

Pest professionals will aim to thoroughly inspect both the interior and exterior of your home. Depending on where you live, the proof left behind by these critters can be as obvious as large pieces of damaged property or small droppings left near tiny holes. That is why an evaluation of structural damage is usually included as well. Pests can cause damage by breaking and entering your house. The professional will look out for damaged floorboards, cracks in walls, decayed siding, and easy hiding places.

With all of this to consider, inspections should take no more than 30 minutes sometimes an hour to complete. It all depends on how big your property is, and if your sightings or concerns are dire—such as if they have any hard-to-reach place they must access. The best way to assist with this process is by checking and cleaning beforehand. If you have areas of concern, be sure to bring that up before they start.
