Initial Consultation and Questions

First, the technician will ask questions about your home, property, and any pest issues you may have noticed, such as:

• Areas of concern like kitchens, basements, or attics
• Spots, stains, or droppings you’ve seen inside or outside your home
• Any recent changes in the environment, such as construction or landscaping

You should give your technician as much information as possible so they can target potential problem areas and conduct a thorough inspection.

Exterior Inspection

Because pests usually enter homes from the outside, your technician will start by examining your property’s exterior, concentrating on:

• Foundation, siding, and exterior walls for cracks or gaps
• Windows and doors for poorly sealed entry points
• Drainage issues or standing water that attract insects and rodents
• Areas in the yard such as bushes, tall grass, and woodpiles that could hide pests

This exterior inspection will help your pest control professional identify entry points and conditions that could encourage infestations.

Interior Inspection

Next, the technician will move inside your home to inspect areas where pests are most likely to hide or breed. These areas include:

• Kitchens and pantries: Food sources or insect activity
• Basements, crawl spaces, and attics: Moisture, damage, or signs of rodents
• Bathrooms and laundry rooms: Leaks or standing water
• Behind furniture, appliances, and storage areas: Places where pests can go unnoticed

They will check for physical evidence of pests such as droppings, nests, damage, or live insects.

Identification and Assessment

Now the technician will identify any pests present in your home and assess the level of infestation. They will recommend the most effective treatment plan for your home, and highlight areas that may need preventive measures regarding future infestations.

Recommendations and Prevention Plan

You will receive a detailed report and an explanation of next steps, including:

• Targeted treatment options for existing infestations
• Advice on sanitation and landscaping to discourage future infestations
• Recommendations for sealing entry points and reducing moisture
• Scheduling follow-up visits or ongoing pest control plans

A pest inspection in Nashville is a proactive way to maintain a healthy, safe home. Knowing what will happen during your first pest inspection will give you the confidence and peace of mind you need to take action before small problems become major infestations.
