WHAT TO DO ABOUT TERMITES

Most lenders will require an inspection by a licensed exterminator to determine that the house is not infested with termites or other wood boring insects. The inspector will look for two things in the process of deciding whether or not a house passes inspection--an active infestation and evidence of a past infestation.

If your house does not pass the termite inspection, get a list of qualified local exterminators from your real estate agent. Call them to ask about the treatment options they offer and ask for estimates on their charges for the service. Exterminators are usually quite competitive. If your home was treated for a past infestation, the company that performed the extermination may be willing to re-certify your home without a second treatment. Arrange for the termite inspection as early as possible, so you will have time to determine the best way to eliminate the problem of wood-boring pests, if they are found.
