Cockroach Inspection
Cockroaches are often deemed the “dirty pest”, and rightly so, but they are no respecter of persons and will infest homes that are clean and dirty alike. Perhaps you ordered takeout, ordered something online, or simply traveled recently and thought you may have brought some roaches home. It happens, but the important thing is to get them treated and eradicated sooner, rather than later. Time is of the essence and there is no better place to start than with a cockroach inspection.
The pest control technician should inspect under and behind appliances in the kitchen, under cabinets, in drawers, in the bathroom cabinets and drawers, and perhaps other places, if you’ve noticed anything. Monitoring devices can be placed if no activity is found. These will give you peace of mind, as you can check them and if they remain pest-free, then your home does too, for the most part.
If activity is found, we offer cockroach treatment with a simple approach, and if the treatment is completed at the same time as the inspection, the inspection fee is waived.
If you know you have cockroach activity in your home, the best place to start is with our 1x Cockroach Service, but if you don’t know if you have cockroaches, then the best place to start is with a cockroach inspection.
Mouse Inspection
Most of the time, people know they have mice when they’ve seen a live mouse running around, found a dead mouse somewhere, spotted some droppings in a drawer or cupboard, or found chew marks on some of their goodies in their cabinets. But, sometimes mice are more elusive than this. Other times people will sometimes hear noises in the wall or attic at night and wonder if it could be a mouse.
The best place to start is a mouse inspection! Now, if you know you have mouse activity in your home, the best place for you to start is our 1x Mouse Service. But, if you schedule a mouse inspection with us and activity is found, if the treatment is completed at the same time as the inspection, the inspection fee is waived.
Bed Bug Inspection
Have you been traveling lately? Bed bugs spread around the holidays and bed bugs spread when college students move home for the summer. Bed bugs can spread from you staying at friends and family’s homes or from friends and family staying at your homes. Knowing this shouldn’t cause alarm, it should only inform you that it can happen, and if it does, it’s important to get rid of those bugs right away!
But knowing that it can happen should also highlight the importance of knowing how to inspect for bed bugs yourself, or the importance of hiring a professional to inspect for bed bugs when you need it.
The pest control technician should inspect the sides of the mattress and box spring, the frame of the bed, baseboards, night stands, and little cracks and crevices where bed bugs like to hide. The pest control technician may even spray a little bit of product in the wall void to see if any bed bugs come running out. Finally, monitoring devices can be placed if no activity is found. These will give you peace of mind, as you can check them and if they remain pest-free, then your home does too, for the most part.
If activity is found, we offer bed bug treatment with a convenient approach (no prep required) and it’s best to start treatment right away if activity is found. If the treatment is completed at the same time as the inspection, the inspection fee is waived.
If you know you have bed bug activity in your home, the best place to start is with our 1x Bed Bug Service, but if you don’t know if you have bed bugs, then the best place to start is with a bed bug inspection.
Want an effortless solution for your bed bug issue? Let us take care of your pest control needs, Done Right.

Multi-Pest Inspection
Do you have multiple insect and rodent pests invading your home? If so, do not worry- it’s not uncommon here in MN and WI to sometimes have multiple pest issues. Sort of comes with the territory.
Take for example in the spring, you could have spiders and ants. In the summer you could have carpenter ants and a wasp nest. In the fall you could have Asian lady beetles and stink bugs. And in the winter, you could have mice and spiders.
These are just seasonal invaders. If you travel frequently, it is easy to introduce bed bugs or cockroaches to the mix too. (It happens). This is where Done Right Pest Solutions’ multi-pest inspection comes in handy!
For whatever pests have been bugging you, we can inspect, give tips and tricks if you’re wanting to solve it on your own, or we can treat for your pest issue.
The pest control technician would inspect the locations in which you have seen the different pest issues, to identify the pests. From there, we offer treatments. We offer varying comprehensive services, like our Peak Seasons Plan for residential homes, a Commercial Quarterly Service (check out our Commercial Flyer or our Commercial Pest Control page) for rental properties, or a routine service based on apartment building size, etc. for apartment complexes (check out our Multi-Family Housing Pest Control page).
If the treatment is completed at the same time as the inspection, the inspection fee is waived.
Why Pest Inspections Are Important
Pest inspections are a crucial component of maintaining a safe and healthy environment in your home or business. They involve a thorough examination of your property to identify any signs of pest infestations, such as carpenter ants, rodents, cockroaches, and other insects that can cause structural damage or health issues.
Why Are Pest Inspections Important?
- Early Detection: Identifying pest problems early can prevent significant damage to your property and reduce the cost of repairs.
- Health Protection: Pests can carry diseases and allergens that pose health risks to occupants.
- Property Preservation: Regular inspections help maintain the structural integrity and value of your property.
What Does a Pest Inspection Involve?
A professional pest inspection typically includes:
- Interior Examination: Inspecting areas such as basements, attics, kitchens, and bathrooms for signs of pests or damage. The inspection process varies on the insect pest for which the pest control technician is inspecting.
- Exterior Assessment: Evaluating the building’s exterior, including the foundation, roof, and walls, for potential entry points and evidence of infestations.
- Detailed Report: Providing a comprehensive report outlining findings, potential risks, and recommended treatment plans.
When Should You Schedule a Pest Inspection?
- Before Purchasing Property: To ensure the property is free from infestations that could lead to future expenses. It is not mandatory, but is recommended.
- Regular Maintenance: Annual or semi-annual inspections can help detect issues early and maintain a pest-free environment. This is called proactive pest control.
- After Noticing Signs: If you observe droppings, damaged wood, or hear unusual noises, it’s essential to schedule an inspection promptly. This is called reactive pest control.
Benefits of Professional Pest Inspections
- Expertise: Trained professionals can accurately identify and assess pest issues that might be overlooked by untrained eyes.
- Effective Solutions: Professionals can recommend and implement effective treatment plans tailored to your specific situation.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your property is regularly inspected and protected against pests provides confidence and security.

At Done Right Pest Solutions, we offer comprehensive pest inspection services designed to meet each home’s unique needs. Our licensed experts are devoted to quality and customer service, ensuring your property remains safe and pest-free.
If you’re wondering how long a pest inspection take, the short answer is, it varies. A wood destroying insect inspection may only take 15 to 30 minutes, whereas some other inspections may take more of 30 to 45 minutes. The importance isn’t in the time it takes, but rather the conclusive results and documented evidence.
If you’re wondering how long is pest inspection good for, the short answer is, it depends. In general, we would estimate that a pest inspection (again, varies on the type of inspection) is good for about 1 season, sometimes more. And with a company like Done Right Pest Solutions who offers upgrades, why not upgrade within 2 weeks from the date of inspection?
