Wood Destroying Insects
Termites and carpenter ants are what we should be concerned with here. Subterranean termites are the real problem,
causing thousands of dollars in unseen damage to the house’s frame and walls. Regular inspection and
treatments are the way to keep this at bay. Termites will swarm in the spring and migrate from house to house
in a neighborhood so be particularly watchful during these times. Inspect your property for tell tale signs like
mud tubes running up the exterior from the ground or small spot on the sheet rock where they’ve begun tunneling
through.
The home improvement stores have some good do-it-yourself treatments for less than a hundred dollars . If
wood destroying insects are discovered during the inspection of a house by a buyer or mortgage company they
will need to be treated professionally at about $500 a whack. And sometimes it will scare the buyer off completely
because of the unknown damages so this is a must. If in doubt, have your home inspected by a pro. The
state requires inspectors to place a sticker under the sink when inspected so many buyers and their agents will
check to see how well the home has been maintained.
