Pest Control Inspection Report Template
A pest control inspection report should document the property, inspection areas, pest activity, evidence found, entry points, conducive conditions, photos, severity, recommendations, customer prep needs, and follow-up plan.
Use this template for termite inspections, rodent inspections, general pest assessments, commercial site checks, pre-treatment reviews, and recurring account documentation.

A good inspection report helps customers understand what was found, where activity is happening, what conditions contribute to the issue, and what treatment or prevention is recommended.

FAQ
Questions field service teams ask about this template
What should a pest control inspection report include?
Include property details, inspection areas, access limitations, target pest, evidence found, activity level, photos, entry points, conducive conditions, severity, recommendations, customer prep, and follow-up timing.
Should inspection reports include photos?
Yes. Photos help customers understand findings and help technicians compare activity during future visits.
How is this different from a treatment invoice?
