IF TWO INSPECTION REPORTS ARE FILED ON THE SAME STRUCTURE WITHIN A REASONABLY CLOSE PERIOD, SHOULD THEY BE NEARLY IDENTICAL?
A. There are three parts of an inspection report: findings, recommendations, and estimates. Findings should be the same, no matter which company performs the inspection, although minor differences are not uncommon. Any major differences, such as one company failing to report an active infestation while the other company reports one, should be brought to the attention of both companies. If their explanations are not satisfactory, the Structural Pest Control Board should be contacted for assistance. Recommendations made by structural pest control companies can differ since there are different ways to repair structural pest damage or correct conditions. Estimates to correct the problems and/or conditions identified by the inspection report may vary. While a specific price for each recommendation must be given, the Board does not regulate or control pricing in any way.
