pest inspector

Vermin control specialist

A pest inspector is a professional who examines buildings for evidence of insects, rodents, or other unwanted creatures.

The inspection typically focuses on termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that can damage structures.

Lenders often require a pest inspection before approving a home purchase: The pest inspector found termite damage in the basement.
