Termites
Note:
Some pest control companies have been requiring complete
re-treatment to transfer a bond. This is not the norm. A good idea
might be to check with the state licensing board or another one or
two inspection/treatment companies. |
The buyer may have a termite/carpenter ant inspection to determine the
existence of infestation.
Some mortgage companies do not require an inspection. Touch all the bases,
this is one inspection you always want to have unless you are buying on
the twelve floor of a condominium or co-op.
Besides inspection for infestation, past or present...and past
treatment, the inspector should note where damage is. A structural
inspection will then address the integrity of the structure.
The termite inspection also reports the moisture levels which is
critical. Termites love moisture.
