How frequently should a full inspection be conducted for a property under a control service?

The correct frequency for conducting a full inspection of a property under a control service is every six months. This regularity helps in early detection of pest issues and ensures that any potential infestations can be managed promptly before they escalate into larger problems. By checking every six months, pest control professionals can monitor the property for new pest activity, reassess treatment efficacy, and make necessary adjustments to the pest management plan.

Conducting a full inspection annually may leave a longer window during which pest issues could develop unnoticed. A three-year interval is generally inadequate for effective pest control, as many pests can establish significant populations within that time frame. Monthly inspections could lead to unnecessary costs and disruptions for the property owner, as many pest problems do not arise frequently enough to warrant such a high inspection frequency. Therefore, the six-month interval strikes a balance between thorough monitoring and practicality.
