To comply with current disclosure requirements your home will need to have an inspection for wood destroying pests and organisms. In addition to looking for termites and other wood boring pests, the inspector is required to check all parts of your home for signs of plumbing leaks, dry-rot and a variety of other conditions which can contribute to wood deterioration.
If any areas of your home are not accessible for inspection, the inspector will recommend further inspection at a later date and at an additional charge. Besides the inconvenience and additional expense for further inspections, the time delay can hamper your calculations to project the net proceeds from the sale of your home.
Please Make the Following Preparations The Day Before the Scheduled Inspection
Although these pests vary significantly in the number of species they belong to, there are only about three types that homeowners, repairmen, carpenters and house inspectors encounter. These are the Formosan, the subterranean or ground termite and the drywood termite. Of these, the two often found to inflict plenty of damage are the subterranean and drywood types.
If you have enough evidence to believe that your home might be under termite attack, the best thing to do is to consult a pest control professional to take a look at your house. They would know best how to kill termites. Trying to treat the infestation on your own may just make the problem worse. And take note that the best time to kill termites is always right away.
