Pest Inspection and Control

When inspecting for pests, we typically follow a systematic approach to identify signs of pest activity and potential entry points. 

Visual Inspection

Routine inspections provide long-term prevention because the early detection of pest activity is often easier to treat and can prevent future infestationsWe inspect both the interior and exterior of the property, focusing on areas where pests are likely to hide or enter the premises. This includes basements, attics, crawl spaces, kitchens, and storage areas. 

Identifying Signs of Infestation

We look for common signs of pest activity, such as droppings, damage, and nests. 

Checking Entry Points

Not all, but certainly the majority of household pest enter the structure from outside.  We inspect the building's exterior for potential entry points used by pests, such as gaps in walls, doors, windows, vents, and utility penetrations. Sealing these entry points is crucial for preventing future infestations. 

Assessing Environmental Factors

We evaluate environmental factors that may attract pests, such as food sources, water leaks, clutter, and vegetation near the building. 

Developing a Treatment Plan

Based on the findings, we develop a customized treatment plan to eliminate existing pest infestations and prevent future ones. This plan may include baiting, trapping, exclusion measures, and sanitation recommendations. 

Overall, a thorough inspection is crucial for effectively addressing rodent infestations and implementing preventive measures to protect the property from future infestations. Contact Hawkeye Pest Control Today!
