Know What's Living in Your Walls

Thorough home pest inspections in Olean, Jamestown, and beyond reveal active infestations and hidden vulnerabilities before they worsen.

You might notice droppings in the basement, hear movement in the attic, or smell something foul near the crawlspace. In Jamestown, older homes with wood siding and stone foundations often hide pest activity until damage becomes visible. A home pest inspection identifies what is living in your property, where they are entering, and what damage has already occurred.

Inspectors check for active nests, gnaw marks, grease trails, urine stains, entry points, and structural damage caused by rodents, bats, raccoons, or insects. This service is used by homeowners preparing to sell, buyers before closing, and property managers addressing tenant complaints. Local housing styles with stone foundations and older rooflines require careful attention during inspections.

What the Inspection Uncovers and Documents

The inspection begins with a walk-through of your property in Olean or Jamestown, starting with the exterior and moving through interior spaces. Inspectors use flashlights, moisture meters, and inspection cameras to look inside wall cavities, under insulation, and into tight spaces where pests nest or travel. Entry points are measured and photographed, and evidence such as droppings or gnaw marks is documented.

After the inspection, you receive a written report that lists every issue found, the type of pest or wildlife involved, and the severity of the problem. The report includes photos and recommendations for treatment, removal, or exclusion. You will know exactly what needs to be done and what it will cost before any work begins.

Inspections do not include treatment or removal, but they provide the information needed to make decisions about next steps. INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL OF WNY LLC offers inspections throughout Western New York and into Pennsylvania, covering single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and investment properties. The service is especially valuable for properties with basements, attics, or crawlspaces that are rarely accessed.

It's normal to have questions before scheduling

Homeowners and buyers often want to know what the inspection involves, how long it takes, and what happens if pests are found.

What areas of the home are inspected?
Inspections cover attics, basements, crawlspaces, garages, wall voids, and exterior entry points. Interior living spaces are checked for signs of pest movement or damage, and all findings are documented in the report.
How long does a home pest inspection take?
Most inspections take between one and two hours, depending on the size of the home and the number of areas that require detailed review. Larger homes or properties with extensive pest activity may take longer.
What happens if the inspection finds pests?
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations for treatment, removal, or exclusion. The report helps you decide how to move forward, whether you are buying, selling, or managing the property.
Why are inspections important for older homes in Jamestown?
Older homes often have stone foundations, unfinished basements, and roof structures that create multiple entry points for rodents and wildlife. Inspections identify these vulnerabilities before they lead to larger infestations or structural damage.
When should a home inspection be scheduled?
Inspections are commonly scheduled before buying or selling a home, after noticing signs of pests, or as part of regular property maintenance. Early detection reduces the cost and complexity of treatment.
