As a pest control management company, we hear this question often. There are several factors involved in deciding the frequency of inspections. The best pest management strategy takes into consideration your geographic location, type of structure and the prevalence and type of pests in your area.

Key Factors to Consider

So how often should you inspect your house for pests? At a minimum, your home should be inspected once per year. As mentioned, there are other concerns that can impact your decision-making. If you live in an area known for heavy termite infestations or other damaging pests, such as rodents, we advise an inspection at least every six months.

Another consideration is the type of structure, such as wood vs. stucco, and the age and the condition of the home. Buildings can shift with age, and older homes often have more points of access for insects and other pests. Living close to open space areas can also increase pest activity in your environment. More frequent inspections can minimize the chance of those pesky pests taking up residence in your home.

You may know first-hand how a few pests can quickly turn into a huge problem. An infestation can spiral out of control, and costly structural damage can occur. It’s much better to be on the offensive rather than the defensive with pests. Scheduling regular pest inspections can be an essential part of safeguarding your home.
