Not A Creature Was Stirring; Not Even A Mouse

The winter months are a good time to schedule a complete exterior and interior home inspection. A professional inspector will review all areas of the home from top to bottom, looking for evidence of termites or other wood-destroying insects such as carpenter ants.  Access to basements and attics is important because some pests, such as wasps, will “overwinter”, which means that colony queens can survive through the winter and start a new colony when the weather warms up.  Do not worry if your basement or attic is disorganized, as this will not be a problem for the inspector as long as they have access to get inside the room.
