Why Inspect? Every year thousands of homes are attacked by termites or other wood destroying pests. Home purchasers need to know if these pests are present before investing their money. Homeowners need to know if these pest are present before damage becomes too extensive. Therefore it is wise to have a company that can detect the presence of wood destroying pests and can provide a report on the findings. Who Orders An Inspection? Termites - Powder Post Beetles - Carpenter Ants - Wood Borers In a home sale, a pest control firm may be selected by the seller or his agent, lending institution, or buyer, depending on the state's real estate laws or established practice. As a buyer, you should be advised as to which company is doing the inspection. The buyer may also be present during the inspection. What Does The Inspection Entail? A qulified inspector from the licensed pest control company will perform the inspection. He inspects all visible areas of the structure which are readily accessible to him. If he finds evidence of an infestation, he reports the evidence on a specified form. An inspection may include sounding or probing areas where infestions are suspected. What If Evidence Of An Infestion Is Found? The company will recommend the appropriate treatment to control the pest. For termites, a treament is usually warranted for a year. Meaning, if an infestation is found while the warranty is in effect, the company will retreat at no charge to you. This warranty is transferable and renewable. _______________________________________________________ THREE TYPES OF REPORTS 1. No Visible Signs of termite activity.
