Why Real Estate Pest Inspections Matter

Richmond's warm climate and historic homes can attract pests that may cause serious damage if left untreated. Pests like termites, carpenter ants, and rodents can hide behind walls, in foundations, or within wooden structures, gradually weakening the property. A thorough pest inspection can save homebuyers from unexpected repair costs and ensure their new home is truly a dream come true.

Top Reasons to Get a Real Estate Pest Inspection with Mitchell Pest Services:

Peace of Mind: We uncover any pest-related issues, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Savings on Future Repairs: Identifying pest damage before purchasing helps avoid costly repairs after the fact.
Negotiating Power: If pests are found, you can negotiate repairs or treatments with the seller before closing.

What to Expect During Our Real Estate Pest Inspections

Our certified inspectors perform a detailed inspection of your property to look for signs of wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) and other pests that can compromise structural integrity. We inspect every accessible area of the home, from crawl spaces to attics, looking for any indicators of infestation or pest damage.

Key Services Included in Our Real Estate Pest Inspections:

Comprehensive WDO Inspection: We examine the property for wood-destroying organisms like termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. These pests can weaken structural elements, so early detection is essential.
Detailed, Timely Reports: We provide an easy-to-understand report detailing any pest activity and suggesting next steps if treatment or repairs are required.
Same-Day Service Options: Need an inspection quickly? We offer same-day service when you call before noon, allowing you to stick to tight closing timelines.

Common Pest Issues Uncovered in Richmond Homes

Many Richmond homes are susceptible to pests that can cause long-term damage if undetected. Our inspectors are trained to identify signs of infestations, including:

Termite Mud Tubes: These small, tube-like structures around the foundation indicate subterranean termites.
Hollow-Sounding Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped could be a sign of termite damage.
Small Boreholes in Wood: Wood-boring beetles and carpenter ants leave tiny holes as they burrow, which can weaken structural elements over time.
Droppings or Gnaw Marks: Rodents can chew through insulation, wires, and wood, causing potential fire hazards and other risks.

Signs You May Need a Pest Inspection

Even if you haven’t noticed obvious pest activity, it’s wise to get an inspection before purchasing any home. However, if you see any of the following signs, scheduling an inspection becomes even more urgent:

Visible mud tubes around the foundation or baseboards
Unexplained frass (fine sawdust) near wood structures
Crumbling or flaking wood
Unpleasant odors near walls or other enclosed areas
Tiny bite marks or droppings near baseboards
