Dealing with pests is just one of the many tasks of a homeowner, but everyone can benefit from a pest inspection. Any building, regardless of its use, can be the target of a pest infestation. Pest inspections are necessary for all buildings, but especially important for homes, as you and your family spend most of your time there. Here are a few quick tips from a professional pest control service to determine when to get a pest inspection
What is a Pest Inspection?
Licensed professionals, like us, perform pest inspections to determine if there are any infestations present in a building. An inspection includes inspecting the foundations, windows, roofs and more in the home, to look for signs of infestation. Hiring a professional to do this job is vital since we are trained to find signs of different types of infestations, and we know how to remedy them. At the end of your pest inspection, you will typically receive a pest report with an update on what the inspector found and suggestions to fix the problem.
When to Get a Pest Inspection
While regularly having a pest inspection performed is the best option, we realize it is impossible to have your home evaluated on a consistent schedule. For most people, getting a pest inspection done when you spot a potential issue is a smart idea. If you see any signs of a potential pest infestation, have a professional perform a pest inspection.
Buying and Selling a House
One time where it’s crucial to have a pest inspection performed is when buying or selling a house. If you’re selling your home, future buyers will appreciate the ease of mind that you can provide when you have your house professionally inspected for pests. The state of Idaho does not legally require pest inspections before the selling of a house, but it is considered “discretionary”, so err on the side of caution and have one performed.
As a buyer, you will definitely appreciate a full pest inspection before you sign on the dotted line. It will assure you that you are not walking into a house with a pest infestation.
