Pest Control Inspection in Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads

A technician covers both the outside and the inside of the home, and we are looking for three things throughout: what is present, how it is getting in, and what conditions are supporting it.

• Outside, we check the foundation and perimeter, siding and trim gaps, and utility and pipe penetrations.
• We assess door sweeps, window seals, and the roofline wherever it can be seen safely.
• Inside, we cover the kitchen, baths, and utility areas where activity shows first.
• We enter the crawl space and the attic where they are accessible.
• We note conducive conditions like mulch against the siding, wood piles, or standing water.

Yes for a general pest inspection of your own home — free, no obligation, and no requirement to buy a plan afterward. The exception is a real estate transaction. A wood-destroying insect report for a closing is a different, formal inspection that produces an official document for the lender or buyer, and that one is a paid service with its own scheduling.

Buying or selling a home?

Closings need a wood-destroying insect report rather than a general pest inspection.

Usually somewhere between thirty minutes and an hour. What moves it is the size of the home and how accessible the crawl space and attic are — a tight crawl space with a blocked hatch takes longer than a walk-through one. If we find something significant, expect the technician to spend extra time documenting it properly rather than rushing to a number.

Pick a time that suits you

Under an hour for most homes, and we work around your schedule rather than a window.

Being home helps, because most of what we learn comes from what you have noticed: where you see them, what time of day, when it started. Beyond that, clear access to the crawl space hatch and attic opening, move stored items away from the areas you want checked, empty the cabinet under the kitchen sink if that is where activity has been, and secure pets so the crew can move around safely.

Tell us what you have been seeing

Where, when, and how often — the more you describe up front, the more targeted the visit.

The findings explained in plain language, photos of anything we found so you can see it for yourself rather than take our word for it, and a written recommendation with pricing if treatment makes sense. Nothing is charged, and you are free to take the report and think about it. If there is no pest problem to treat, we would rather tell you that and keep the relationship than sell you a plan you do not need.

Scope and paperwork. A general pest inspection covers the whole picture: ants, roaches, rodents, spiders, stinging insects, and the moisture and entry points behind them. A termite or wood-destroying insect inspection is focused specifically on termites and other wood-destroying organisms, examines the structural wood and crawl space in far more detail, and in a real estate transaction produces an official report for the lender. Many homes benefit from both, and our technicians will flag termite evidence during a general inspection even though it is not the primary focus.

Not sure which one you need?

A closing needs the wood-destroying insect report; everything else starts with the general inspection.

Once a year is a reasonable baseline for a Hampton Roads home, and sooner if you are seeing activity, have had work done that opened up the structure, or have just bought the place. Ongoing service plans include inspections as part of the regular visit, so most customers on a plan are covered without scheduling anything separately.

Let the plan keep the schedule

Quarterly protection includes the inspection, so nothing depends on you remembering the date.

You get options rather than a single number. We will explain what we found, what is urgent versus what can wait, and what the difference in outcome is between the choices. Ongoing quarterly protection plans start at $34 per month, one-time treatments are available for a specific problem, and for larger projects like exclusion or crawl space work, SmartPay financing offers $0 down and 0% APR for qualified homeowners. Whether you book anything is genuinely up to you.

That is most of what the ant portion of an inspection is for. We follow trails back from where you are seeing them to the point of entry, which in Hampton Roads is usually a foundation crack, a utility or hose-bib penetration, a gap behind siding, or a tree limb or shrub touching the house and acting as a bridge. We also look for what is drawing them — moisture at a slab edge, mulch piled against the foundation, pet food, or a leaking line under a cabinet. Treating without knowing the entry point tends to knock the visible trail down without addressing why they came in, which is where repeat visits come from.

Ants already inside?

We can trace the trail and treat the entry point on the same visit.

Ant Control

Yes, where the attic is safely accessible. We look for droppings, rub marks along joists and wiring, chewed insulation, nesting material, and the gaps that let them in — roofline and soffit junctions, gable vents, and the spot where utility lines enter. Rodents rarely stay in one place, so we check the crawl space and the exterior on the same visit rather than assuming the attic is the whole story.

Hearing noise overhead?

Attic activity is worth tracing back to how they are getting in.

Rats in the Attic

The technician looks for termite evidence during a general inspection — mud tubes on foundation walls and piers, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, discarded swarmer wings around windows in spring — and will tell you if anything turns up. What a general pest inspection is not is the detailed wood-destroying-insect inspection, which examines structural wood and the crawl space in far more depth and, in a real estate transaction, produces a formal report. If we see evidence, we will recommend that as the next step rather than treating from a guess.

Seen mud tubes or swarmers?

A dedicated termite inspection goes deeper than the general walk-through.

Free Termite Inspection

It includes the crawl space wherever the hatch is accessible and it is safe to enter, because in this region that is where the answer usually is — standing water, a torn vapor barrier, wet or fallen insulation, rodent runs, and the moisture conditions behind most recurring pest problems. What we do there during a general pest inspection is an assessment, not the full moisture and structural survey our dedicated crawl space inspection performs. If what we find warrants that, we will say so and quote it separately.

Crawl space concerns?

A dedicated crawl space inspection covers moisture, insulation, and structure in detail.

Crawl Space Inspection

Both are available, but they are separate. The inspection itself identifies and documents the openings — gaps at the foundation, unsealed penetrations, failed door sweeps, damaged crawl space vents and screening, roofline and soffit gaps. Physically closing them is exclusion work, quoted on its own because the labor and materials vary enormously between a handful of pipe collars and a full crawl space seal-out. Plenty of homeowners take the report and handle the simple gaps themselves, which is fine by us.

Close the gaps the inspection finds

Exclusion work seals the openings, quoted separately from the inspection.
