Evidence of pests: what counts on the day

Inspectors cite pest evidence they can observe: live roaches, droppings, egg cases, rodent signs, harborage conditions. One dead bug in a trap is a different conversation from activity in the kitchen cabinets. What evidence has been cited on your properties, and what does your pest contract actually guarantee before an inspection?

The difference between a pest problem and a pest citation is what can be observed on the day — live activity, droppings, egg cases, harborage. That is why the two weeks before an inspection are not the time to discover your vendor's service has been a signature and a spray at the door. Walk kitchens and baths with a flashlight before the inspector does, and know what your contract actually commits to. What pest evidence has actually been cited on your properties — and does your pest contract promise anything specific going into an inspection?
