Booking a professional pest inspection can feel like a big step, especially if it’s your first time. At Birch Fumigators, we want homeowners to feel confident and comfortable throughout the process. Whether you’ve seen signs of pests or simply want peace of mind, a professional inspection is the best way to protect your home.
Why Schedule a Pest Inspection?
Many pests, like mice, ants, or cockroaches, hide in places that are easy to overlook. A professional inspection helps uncover issues early, before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems. If you’ve noticed signs of pest activity, or just want a check-up, an inspection is a smart preventative step.
You can learn more about our inspection services on our pest control services page.
What Happens During an Inspection?
During your first inspection, a trained technician from Birch Fumigators will conduct a thorough evaluation of both the inside and outside of your home. We’ll begin by asking about what you’ve seen, heard, or experienced. This helps us focus on problem areas and understand your concerns.
We’ll inspect:
-
Doors, windows, vents, and other entry points
-
Kitchens, basements, attics, and storage areas
-
The exterior of your home, including sheds and eaves
Our technicians look for droppings, gnaw marks, nests, damaged materials, and live pest activity. We know where pests like to hide and what subtle signs indicate a problem.
What Happens After the Inspection?
At the end of the inspection, we’ll provide:
-
A clear explanation of our findings
-
Customized recommendations for treatment (if needed)
-
Preventative advice to reduce future risks
If treatment is recommended, we’ll explain your options, including safe, humane pest control methods that align with your family’s needs and our commitment to ethical pest management.

How to Prepare for an Inspection
To help us access all areas, we suggest:
-
Clearing clutter away from walls, under sinks, and storage areas
-
Letting us know if you have pets so we can plan accordingly
-
Making note of any pest signs you’ve noticed (droppings, damage, noises)
No special cleaning or prep is required—we’ll guide you through anything we need once we arrive.
