VA Pest Inspections in Canton

VA Pest Inspections in Canton, MI

Canton Township is home to Regal Pest Control's headquarters, and we have performed more wood-destroying insect inspections here than virtually anywhere else in Southeast Michigan. Canton's housing stock spans several decades—from older ranch and split-level homes to newer subdivisions—giving our inspectors exceptional familiarity with the construction types and pest pressures found throughout the township.

Carpenter ants are the most frequently documented wood-destroying insect in Canton, often found in homes with moisture-affected siding, framing, or crawlspace timbers. Termites, carpenter bees, and powderpost beetles are also present and documented throughout the area. Every VA pest inspection in Canton is reported on Form NPMA-33, fully approved by HUD for FHA and VA loans.

Common Questions

VA Pest Inspection FAQ

What pests are you inspecting for?

We inspect for wood-destroying insects. The most common are carpenter ants, carpenter bees, termites, and powderpost beetles. If activity or evidence is found, it will be documented on the NPMA-33 report.

What form is used and is it approved for VA and FHA loans?

Results are reported on Form NPMA-33, which is approved by HUD for FHA and VA loans. This form meets all federal requirements and can be submitted directly to your lender or real estate agent. A copy of the form is available on the HUD website.

How long does a VA pest inspection take?

Typically, inspections for homes under 2,500 sq ft take about one hour. Add approximately 20 minutes for each additional 1,000 sq ft. If we find activity, the inspection time may increase slightly as we document findings thoroughly.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for the inspection?

Typically no preparation is needed. However, if anything is obstructing access to attic panels, crawlspaces, or other areas, clearing those if you are able will help us conduct the most thorough inspection possible. Our inspectors will check all readily accessible and visible areas and will note any areas they cannot access on the report.

Will you inspect my attic, basement, and garage?

Yes. We inspect all readily accessible areas of the home. There are instances where attic access panels are too small or obstructions prevent full access. In those cases, it will be noted on the report. Our goal is to inspect all visible areas inside and outside the home.

Are your inspectors licensed and insured?

Yes. All inspectors are licensed through the State of Michigan and certified in the relevant pest categories. Many carry multiple certifications. All inspectors are fully insured.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.
