Inspections

NJ Pest Control is a WDI Credentialed Termite and Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Company. That means an inspector has gone through a comprehensive, challenging course that tests abilities to properly identify and report termite as well as other wood destroying insects through the New Jersey Pest Management Association (NJPMA).

Why should I choose a Credentialed Inspector?

Selling or purchasing a home is one of the largest decisions you may have to make in your life. This process can sometimes be confusing to navigate through. There are many firms to choose from to do the necessary inspections. Unfortunately, the State of New Jersey does not have any rules, regulations, requirement, licensing, training or pre-requisites of any kind to govern those who perform these inspections. Literally ANY ONE who chooses to hire themselves out can perform a Wood Destroying Insect inspection. You are paying for this inspection. If insects are found several months later, and the damage has been on-going, do you want to run the risk of having to pay for both the eradication and the home repair if you discover damage after a poorly performed inspection? How would that make you feel?

How can choosing a Credentialed Inspector benefit me?

Every Credentialed Inspector has gone through a specialized course of detailed instruction and has successfully passed an exam in each section of the course. They have also had to meet very specific prerequisites before receiving their final "Credentialed" status.
