Professional General Pest Inspections

Protecting Your Peace of Mind in One Thorough Visit
​

Picture this: you flip on the basement light and a silverfish darts under a storage bin. Not exactly a crisis—but it is a warning flare. Professional general pest inspections exist to catch those subtle red-flag moments long before they snowball into carpenter-ant galleries, mouse droppings in the pantry, or an air-freshener’s worth of odorous house ants behind the dishwasher.

What a “general” inspection actually means

Chemical bed bug treatments involve the application of pesticides to eliminate bed bugs. This approach typically requires several applications over a period of 1 to 2 months. 

Costs can fluctuate depending on various factors, including the specific pesticides used, the severity and duration of the infestation, and the total number of treatments required. 
​
Effective chemical treatments demand thorough planning and preparation, along with a reasonably organized living space. Controlling bed bugs becomes significantly more challenging in environments with considerable clutter.

Our inspectors aren’t just sweeping a flashlight around. They run a 70-point checklist that covers four zones:

---

Zones

Exterior
​

Interior
​

Environmental
​

Structural

Scope

Foundation, siding, roofline, soffits, vegetation, garbage areas

Baseboards, attics, crawl spaces, utility rooms, voids

​Humidity, temperature, sanitation, harborages
​

Wood integrity, insulation gaps, drainage, seals

Typical Tools

Telescoping mirrors, moisture meter
​

​Borescope cam, UV flashlight
​

​Digital hygrometer, particle counter
​

​Protimeter, infrared camera

That mash-up of tech and technique lets us spot frass in a joist cavity, rodent rub-marks behind the stove, or a wasp queen overwintering in the attic vent—issues a quick DIY glance would miss.

The Anatomy of our Pest Inspection Visit

1. Kick-off chat (5 min). We ask about recent sightings, renovations, and pets. That context narrows our hunt.
2. Interior sweep (25 min). We probe “hot boxes” first—kitchens, bathrooms, utility lines—because moisture and warmth equal snacks and shelter.
3. Exterior walk-around (20 min). We track ant highways, flag woodpecker holes that hint at carpenter-bee larvae, and test downspout drainage.
4. Digital reporting (on the spot). You get a tablet-ready scorecard with color-coded risk levels, photos, and clear next steps. Most homes clock in at 60–70 observations.
5. Strategic roadmap (10 min). We outline fixes ranked by urgency, budget, and seasonality—no upsell ambushes, just data-driven priorities.

Why an annual (or semi-annual) Pest Inspection pays for itself

• Cost containment. Treating one early termite tube is a fraction of reconstructing a hollowed stud wall.

• Health defense. Rodent dander and cockroach allergens are asthma triggers; a proactive clean bill of health beats pharmaceutical costs.

• Property value. A documented inspection history reassures future buyers and insurance adjusters alike.
​
• Peace of mind. Knowing a pro has checked every crevice lets you store holiday decor without imagining spiders nesting inside.

​

Our Tech Edge

​We invest in FLIR thermal imaging for hidden moisture, AI-driven trail-cam traps for nocturnal rodents, and barcode-scanned bait stations that log visit dates automatically. Translation: fewer return trips, tighter data, and zero guessing.

Eco-forward, kid-friendly, pet-smart

​Inspections alone require no pesticides, but if an issue does surface we follow an Integrated Pest Management ladder—start with sanitation tweaks and exclusion, escalate to targeted treatments only when numbers prove it’s necessary. Every product we use is Health Canada-approved and chosen with infants, seniors, and curious Labradoodles in mind.

Bonus intel you didn’t ask for (but will want)

1. Seasonal timing hack. Book spring inspections for ant scouting and fall for rodent ingress—those windows catch colonies at their weakest.
2. Self-audit trick. Drop sticky monitors behind the fridge and in furnace rooms; snapshot counts every quarter give you an early pulse between pro visits.
3. Insurance whisper. Some home policies offer premium discounts if you provide annual pest-free certificates—ask your broker after our visit.
