  1. 01

    Time proofing after assessment

  2. 02

    Use materials suited to the gap

  3. 03

    Do not block required ventilation

  4. 04

    Escalate structural defects

When to request an inspection

Arrange professional assessment when signs continue, identification is uncertain, several rooms or units may be involved, or the building has unresolved access or maintenance concerns. Avoid unverified pesticide use.
