Rodent Inspection in Spring Hill: Find Every Entry Point Before You Pay for Treatment
A good rodent job starts with a good inspection. We check your roofline, attic or crawl space, garage and exterior to identify the species, find every way in and document what we see.
What is a rodent inspection?
A rodent inspection is a structured check of a property for rodent activity, entry points, nesting areas and damage. It tells you which species you have, how extensive the problem is, how they are getting in, and what it will take to fix it. Every other service, from removal to exclusion, depends on it.
UF/IFAS lists inspection as the first tool of integrated pest management, ahead of any trapping or treatment.
What we check
Exterior
- Roofline, roof vents, gable vents, soffits and fascia
- Where utility lines, pipes and AC lines enter
- Garage door seals, doors, windows and screens
- Foundation, foundation vents and crawl space access
- Branches, palm fronds, wires and fences touching the roof
- Food, water and shelter in the yard
Interior
- Attic: droppings, nests, rub marks, chewed insulation and wiring
- Crawl space or basement: burrows, droppings, chewed ducts and pipes
- Kitchen, pantry and garage: droppings, gnawed packaging, traces
What you get after the inspection
- The species, or species, we believe are present
- A list of entry points and attractants, with photos where possible
- Notes on damage to insulation, wiring, ducts and structure
- A recommended plan and a written estimate before any work begins
You decide what to do next. If the problem turns out to be minor, the plan says so.
When to book an inspection
- You hear scratching, thumping or squeaking in the attic, walls or ceiling
- You find droppings, gnaw marks or a dead-animal smell
