What Happens During a Professional Pest Inspection
Never had a pest inspection? Here is exactly what happens โ from arrival to written report โ so there are no surprises.
Before the Visit
We ask: property type, what you have noticed, how long the problem has been going on, and previous treatment history. A general inspection takes 30-45 minutes; thorough termite inspection takes 60-90 minutes.
What the Technician Checks
External perimeter: Foundation line, drainage, soil-timber contact, vegetation, aircond units, entry points.
Interior: Kitchen (under sink, behind fridge, around stove, cabinets), bathrooms (pipe entries, floor drains), living areas (skirting boards, behind furniture), storerooms.
Upper floors: Bedrooms, built-in wardrobes, aircond piping entries, window frames.
Roof void: For termite inspections โ timber trusses, battens, stored items.
For properties in Setia Alam and Bukit Jelutong with large gardens, our mosquito assessment checks every potential Aedes breeding site.
Tools and Equipment
High-powered torch, moisture meter (detects elevated moisture indicating termite activity), tapping tool (for hollow timber sounds), inspection mirror, and camera for documentation. The team at Mr Pest Control Shah Alam uses professional-grade equipment to ensure nothing is missed.
