At Empire Pest Control, we know that a home inspection is nice, but it’s not enough. If you are looking to buy a property, you need to make sure that it is 100 percent pest-free. And if you are looking to sell a property, your home needs to be welcoming to potential buyers, so you don’t want to risk a potential unwelcome “house guest” showing up during a viewing. That’s why we offer the best home pest inspection services in West Michigan. Home inspections are a great idea, but usually not as thorough as a certified pest control company in guaranteeing that a property is free from hard-to-spot pest infestations.

Whether you're buying a new home, selling a property, or simply ensuring your current residence remains pest-free, a professional pest and wildlife inspection is crucial. Standard home inspections may not detect hidden infestations, which is why Empire Pest Control offers specialized home and wildlife inspections in Holland, MI, and throughout West Michigan.
Our detailed inspection services provide homeowners and real estate investors with accurate assessments of potential pest threats, allowing for proactive protection against structural damage and costly infestations.
A home pest and wildlife inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property to detect existing or potential pest infestations. Our certified professionals assess key areas of your home, including:
✔️ Attics and crawl spaces – Common nesting areas for rodents, bats, and other wildlife
✔️ Basements and foundations – Checking for moisture issues that attract pests
✔️ Roof and soffits – Examining for openings that allow wildlife entry
✔️ Walls and insulation – Looking for signs of burrowing pests and damage
✔️ Garages, sheds, and outbuildings – Ensuring these areas remain secure
Unlike general home inspections, which may overlook pest-related damage, our team is trained to identify subtle but significant signs of infestations that could compromise the safety and integrity of your home.
Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. A hidden pest infestation can lead to unexpected repair costs, health hazards, and long-term property damage. Our detailed pest inspection reports give you the leverage to negotiate repairs or pricing before closing the deal.
A pest-free certification can significantly enhance your home's marketability. Having an official wildlife inspection report shows potential buyers that your home is well-maintained and free from infestations, increasing trust and boosting your chances of a quick sale at the best price.
Many pest infestations go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred. Scheduling regular inspections helps you detect early warning signs, preventing costly structural repairs and health risks.
Rental properties are particularly vulnerable to pest infestations due to frequent tenant turnover. Our inspections help landlords maintain high property standards and comply with pest control regulations.
Our step-by-step inspection approach ensures thorough detection of potential pest and wildlife threats.
We start by discussing any concerns you have, including previous infestations, property history, and visible damage. Our experts then conduct a full walkthrough of the premises, focusing on:
✅ Interior areas – Attics, basements, crawl spaces, walls, and flooring
✅ Exterior vulnerabilities – Roof, vents, chimneys, and foundational cracks
✅ Signs of wildlife activity – Droppings, tracks, nesting materials, gnaw marks
✅ Moisture issues – Checking for leaks that could attract termites or rodents
Our team is trained to detect various pest and wildlife infestations, including:
Once the inspection is complete, we provide a comprehensive report outlining:
📌 Findings & potential risks – Any detected infestations or vulnerabilities
📌 Recommendations for prevention – Sealing entry points, habitat modifications
📌 Treatment options – If infestations are present, we suggest removal strategies
📌 Preventive maintenance tips – Long-term solutions to keep your home pest-free
If our inspection reveals pest or wildlife concerns, we offer customized exclusion and pest control treatments to eliminate and prevent future infestations.
Michigan homeowners often encounter a variety of nuisance wildlife and pests, including:
Rodents gnaw on wiring, contaminate food, and spread diseases. They can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, making professional inspections crucial.
Bats are protected under Michigan law, but infestations must be handled carefully. They often roost in attics, leaving behind guano that can pose serious health risks.
These animals frequently enter homes through damaged soffits, vents, or chimneys. Raccoons and squirrels can cause extensive damage to insulation and wiring.
Wood-destroying insects silently weaken the structural integrity of a home. If left unchecked, termite damage can cost thousands of dollars in repairs.
From birds nesting in vents to snakes hiding in crawl spaces, our inspections cover all types of nuisance wildlife that could invade your property.
