"Christian arrived on time as promised. Completed a full evaluation/assessment of my property. He determined that I had an immediate need for his service. I did not have termites. He observed some near my property line. Thankfully they had not entered my property. Christian arranged for a same day termite preventive treatment to be applied, as well as a bi-monthly inspection. Peace of mind was worth every penny. Thank you Christian. "

PestNow brand was founded in Virginia in 1995 as Superior Pest Management when four high school friends came together to form their own company. Today, we have multiple locations in three states, and serve thousands of happy customers. We offer pest control; termite treatments and warranties; mosquito, flea & tick control; WDIs (real estate inspections); lawn fertilization & weed control; TAP insulation; and wildlife solutions for homeowners and businesses in the mid-Atlantic.
"PestNow was hired to inspect our house for termites. This was required by the lender of the family buying our house. PestNow found a pile of wood leaning up against a deck column they said needed repair due to termite damage. PestNow also required the entire house be treated. There were no termites found anywhere other than the pile of wood, according to PestNow. They quoted us for over $800 to treat the house. We questioned the need and amount so they lowered it to $580. As a result of PestNow stating they found termites in the deck column, the lender of the buyers required the deck column be repaired due to termite damage. The deck repair company assessed the deck column agreeing it needed to be repaired, but not due to termites, rather moisture. I question whether PestNow found termites at all. Their unethical tactics cost us well over $1,000. Beware of PestNow."

My name is Sheldon Faison; I am a home inspector with Faison and Associates Consulting & Environmental Services (FACES).FACES Inspectors are leaders in the home inspection industry. We have over 20 years of experience in the construction and inspecting field. In today’s changing market a strong inspector is needed to teach and advise home buyers in one of the biggest processes of their lives. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. Please call (202) 327-3276 to schedule an appointment.
"Sheldon Faison F.A.C.E.S. LLC served as my inspector during the month of August in regards to closing on my property. Since then -- and barely a month later, I experienced issues in regards to the heating system. I paid to update it and was informed I would need to replace the HVAC unit completely before the end of the year (*this is noticeable because the HVAC unit was perhaps the first thing I inquired with you about but I was told not to worry about it and that the system was still "good"*). Note that this will cost approximately $6,000 - $10,000 in addition to the $1,000 I've already paid. Secondly, we are now in the month of March--I haven't been in my home for a full year and already, there are issues with water leaking from the third floor bathroom unto the living room floor. If one actually looks closely, there appears to be a very obvious bulge in the living room ceiling that was there since the day of closing. I reviewed the report and while it does mention issues with ceiling drywall not being sealed properly, this was not mentioned during the walkthrough and no added importance given to this issue versus less serious issues being given high importance during the walk though despite this inspector placing a great importance on explaining things to the minutiae. There were also issues with the toilet running that resulted in a higher than normal water bill for a few months that I also had to account for and again--this was not mentioned in the inspection report. I am sure there are quite more issues that haven't come to light yet but as a first time homeowner-- it is extremely disappointing to me that these items were not factored in the inspection report as this would have made all the difference in my decision to purchase this home."

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling.
Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.
Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.
The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.
Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed.
Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
