Why a Rodent Home Inspection Changes Everything
Most pest control companies skip the inspection and go straight to traps and bait. That’s why rodent problems come back. Without knowing the species, entry points, and infestation size, any treatment is guesswork.
Roof rats require completely different treatment protocols than Norway rats or house mice. Our $89 rodent inspection in Boca Raton gives you a detailed report that drives every subsequent decision — and the fee is credited toward any treatment you book.
- Species identification (roof rat, Norway rat, or mouse)
- Full entry point mapping — interior and exterior
- Activity level assessment (active, recent, historic)
- Written report with photos same-day
- $89 fee credited toward any treatment booked
6 Areas Covered in Every Rodent Inspection
No area of your property is left unchecked in our rodent inspection Boca Raton service. We look where other companies don’t.
Attic & Roof Space
Primary habitat for roof rats. We check for droppings, nests, grease trails, and chewed wiring.
Exterior Perimeter
We walk the full exterior marking every gap, crack, vent, and utility penetration larger than 1/4 inch.
Foundation & Ground Level
Norway rat burrow holes, disturbed soil, and ground-level entry points along the foundation.
Garage & Storage Areas
Gaps under garage doors, side entry gaps, and rodent runs along walls and stored items.
Kitchen & Utility Areas
Under appliances, inside cabinets, and around plumbing penetrations where mice commonly nest.
Landscaping & Trees
Tree branches touching the roofline, dense shrubs against walls, and fruit trees that attract roof rats.

Real Reviews from Boca Raton Homeowners
Hundreds of homes protected across Palm Beach County.
“Best $89 I’ve ever spent. The inspector found two entry points I would never have found myself — behind the dishwasher and a gap in the soffit I couldn’t see. The report was detailed and professional.”
— Kevin L., Boca Raton
“I was skeptical about paying for an inspection, but it revealed the problem was far bigger than I thought — full attic infestation. Without the proper diagnosis we would have treated the wrong thing.”
— Angela S., East Boca
“Selling our house and needed a formal rodent inspection report for disclosure. Vermin Shield’s report was accepted by both the buyer’s agent and insurance company. Clear and professional documentation.”
— Robert D., Boca Raton
Inspection Questions Answered
Why does the inspection cost $89? Most companies offer free inspections.
Free inspections are typically quick visual checks designed to sell a treatment package — not thorough diagnostics. Our rodent inspection Boca Raton service puts a licensed professional on your property for 60–90 minutes with fully documented findings. The fee is credited 100% toward any treatment you book with us.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
Yes — we’ll need access to your attic, garage, and a walk around the interior near the kitchen. Plan for 60–90 minutes. We’ll give you a heads-up window so you can plan your schedule.
Can you tell the difference between roof rats and Norway rats?
Absolutely — this is critical for treatment. Roof rats are slender, arboreal, and live in attics. Norway rats are larger, burrowing, and live at ground level. Each requires a completely different trap type, bait strategy, and exclusion approach.
What if the inspection finds no evidence of rodents?
Great news if so — you’ll have peace of mind and a written report confirming it. We’ll also advise on any conditions that make your property vulnerable in the future, such as overhanging trees or unsealed vents.
Is your inspection report accepted for insurance claims or real estate disclosure?
Yes. Our reports include the inspector’s license number, date, signature, photos, and species identification — the documentation insurers and real estate attorneys typically require. For formal real estate disclosure, ask about our $149 real estate inspection report.
