Frequently Asked Questions
What does a pest inspection cover in California?
A general pest inspection covers evidence of rodents (mice, rats, voles), insects (ants, cockroaches, bed bugs), and wildlife (bats, squirrels, raccoons -- common pests). The inspector checks basements, attics, crawl spaces, foundations, and exterior entry points. This is broader than a WDI inspection, which focuses only on wood-destroying organisms.
Do pest inspectors need to be licensed in California?
Licensing requirements vary by state. Pest control operators who apply pesticides must hold a valid state pesticide applicator license. Inspectors who only inspect without applying treatments may have different licensing requirements, but hiring a licensed operator ensures qualified assessment.
How much does a pest inspection cost in California?
A general pest inspection typically costs $150 to $350, depending on property size and scope. Some pest control companies offer free initial inspections with treatment plan quotes. Real estate pest inspections that include a formal report are usually at the higher end.
What pests are most common in California homes?
Common household pests include **Argentine ants**, **roof rats**, **drywood and subterranean termites**, mice, carpenter ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, and wildlife like raccoons and bats. California's suburban and urban development creates ideal habitat for many pests.
