types of inspection

Pest Control

The answer to 'types of inspection' is that as a pest control expert, I typically conduct three main types of inspections for homeowners: a visual inspection, a detailed inspection, and a comprehensive inspection. A visual inspection is a quick walkthrough to identify any obvious signs of pests or infestations. A detailed inspection involves a more thorough examination of the home, including hard-to-reach areas, to uncover any hidden issues. Finally, a comprehensive inspection is the most in-depth, where I use specialized tools and techniques to identify the full scope of the problem and develop a customized treatment plan.

The type of inspection I recommend will depend on the specific situation and concerns of the homeowner. A visual inspection may be sufficient for a routine checkup, while a detailed or comprehensive inspection is often needed to address an active infestation or complex pest problem.

Step-by-Step Guide

    Prepare for the inspection

    Before the pest control technician arrives, make sure to clear away any clutter or obstructions to give them full access to inspect the home.

  2. 2

    Be present during the inspection

    It's best if you can be home during the inspection so you can point out any problem areas and ask questions as the technician works.
