WHAT IT IS

A real inspection finds the problem before it finds you

Pests rarely announce themselves until the damage is done. A professional inspection is how you catch termites, rodents, and bed bugs early — and how every California home sale clears escrow.

The Central Valley climate keeps pests active nearly year-round. Subterranean termites work silently inside walls and foundations, drywood termites hollow out attic framing, and rodents slip through gaps the width of a pencil. By the time most homeowners notice, the colony or infestation is well established.

Our inspection is a methodical, licensed walk-through of your entire structure. We are not there to upsell you — we are there to tell you exactly what is happening, show you the evidence, and lay out your options in plain English. As a company licensed through the California Structural Pest Control Board (#8539), we follow the integrated, least-toxic approach recommended by the UC Statewide IPM Program.

WHAT WE FIND

The problems an inspection turns up

These are the things our technicians find on Fresno-area inspections every week — most of them invisible until you know where to look.

Termite mud tubes & damage

Pencil-width mud tubes on the foundation and hollow, blistered wood signal active subterranean termites.

OUR PROCESS

How a Total Pest Control inspection works

Thorough, documented, and easy to follow — the same process whether it is a homeowner check or an escrow WDO report.

1

Schedule

Tell us what you are seeing and what it is for — a concern, a recurring problem, or a home sale. We book a time that works.

2

Full walk-through

We inspect the interior, exterior, attic, crawlspace, garage, and perimeter — every accessible area, not just the obvious spots.

3

Identify & document

We confirm the pest, locate the source and entry points, and photograph the evidence so nothing is left to guesswork.

4

Written findings & plan

You get clear findings and a recommended plan — and on a home sale, a licensed WDO report with Section 1 & 2 items.

5

Treat & protect

If treatment is needed, we scope it and schedule it — and issue escrow clearance once required work is complete.

BUYING OR SELLING

Real-estate, escrow & WDO reports

Almost every Fresno-area home sale needs a Wood-Destroying Organisms (WDO) report from a licensed structural pest control company. It documents any active infestation (Section 1) and the conditions that could cause one (Section 2) — and a clearance letter is issued once the required work is done. In California, only a company licensed through the Structural Pest Control Board can issue the WDO report your lender and escrow will accept.

We work on escrow timelines, deliver clear written reports, and handle clearance so closings stay on schedule. Realtors and escrow officers: we are happy to be your reliable local inspection partner on every transaction.

Most local competitors ignore WDO and escrow work online — it is the one inspection that every home sale requires. We specialize in it.

QUESTIONS

Pest inspection FAQ

How much does a pest inspection cost in Fresno?

Cost depends on the property size and the type of inspection — a standard pest inspection is different from a real-estate WDO/termite report. We offer a no-cost inspection for most homeowner pest concerns, and we quote real-estate and escrow reports up front over the phone. Call (559) 472-8200 and we will give you a clear price before we start.

What does a pest inspection include?

A professional inspection covers the interior, exterior, attic, crawlspace, garage, and the perimeter of the structure. We look for live pests and the evidence they leave behind — termite mud tubes and damage, drywood frass, rodent droppings and entry points, bed bug signs, cockroach harborage, and the moisture or conducive conditions that attract them. You receive written findings and a recommended plan.

Is a pest inspection the same as a home inspection?

No. A general home inspection looks at the overall condition of a house — roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC. A pest inspection (and a WDO/termite report) is a specialized, licensed inspection focused on wood-destroying organisms and pest activity. In a California home sale the two are separate reports, and the termite/WDO report is what lenders and escrow typically require.

Do I need a termite inspection to buy or sell a home in California?

For most sales, yes. Lenders, buyers, and escrow commonly require a Wood-Destroying Organisms (WDO) report from a licensed structural pest control company before closing. The report documents any active infestation (Section 1) and conditions that could lead to one (Section 2), and a clearance letter is issued once required work is done. We handle WDO reports and clearance on Fresno-area home sales.

How long does a pest inspection take?

A typical residential inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the home and how much access there is to attics and crawlspaces. A full real-estate WDO inspection can take a bit longer because every accessible area must be documented for the written report.

Who performs the inspection?

A licensed Total Pest Control technician. We are a family-owned Fresno company operating since 2020, owner-operated by Paul Outfleet (California SPCB license #8539), with a 4.9-star rating across 147 Google reviews.
