A property check after heavy rain

After a storm in Rolla, MO, inspect accessible areas of your home for water intrusion and new pest activity. Rain does not tell you which pest is present or whether treatment is needed. Record what changed at your property so the next step addresses the actual problem.

Start with visible changes

  • From ground level, look for overflowing gutters, pooled water and displaced debris.
  • Note water entering around doors, windows or foundation openings.
  • Photograph insects and the places they appear without entering flooded or unsafe spaces.
  • Tell your technician whether activity began after rain or has been recurring for weeks.

Arrange the right repair or inspection

Address leaks and moisture sources; see EPA moisture guidance.

Ask a qualified building professional about drainage, plumbing, ventilation or water damage. Pest treatment is not a substitute for those repairs or mold remediation. Avoid opening walls, climbing into wet crawlspaces or disturbing damaged materials just to look for insects.

Choose pest service from the findings
