Find out what's going on before anything gets treated

A certified technician looks first, then recommends a plan.

Ehlers Pest Management provides home pest inspections in Milwaukee and across Southeastern Wisconsin. If you’ve found droppings in a cabinet or something you can’t identify, a certified technician will walk your home and yard, figure out what you’re dealing with and find where it’s getting in.

Every pest needs a different treatment, so the inspection comes first. You’ll get a clear explanation of what the technician found and a recommendation based on your house, before any treatment starts.

What happens during a home pest inspection?

Inside the house

The technician checks the places pests tend to show up first, like the kitchen, basement, bathrooms and any areas you've noticed activity.

Entry points

Mice and insects get in through small gaps around pipes, doors, vents and the foundation. The technician will point out the ones they find.

Outside and around the yard

They walk the outside of the house, looking at the foundation, siding, decks and landscaping for nests, trails and conditions that draw pests in.

A recommendation

You'll hear what pest you have and how much activity there is, along with what the technician recommends. If a simpler option will solve the problem, that's what you'll hear about.

Frequently Asked Questions about Residential pest control

Do I need an inspection if I already know what the pest is?

Yes. Even when you know it’s mice or ants, the technician needs to see how much activity there is and where they’re getting in. That’s what decides the treatment.

Often, yes. Technicians arrive prepared to start, so once you agree on a plan, treatment can usually begin during the same visit.

Yes. Many indoor pest problems start outside, so the technician looks at the foundation and yard as well as the inside of your home.

Yes. Commercial inspections work a little differently, so see our commercial pest control page for details. 

Pest proofing is available as a separate service. Whether it makes sense depends on your home, and the technician will talk it through with you after the inspection.
