Termite Inspections
When buying or selling a home, most offers require an inspection by a licensed exterminator to determine if the house has termites or other wood destroying insects. The inspector will look for two things in deciding whether or not to pass a house...an active infestation, and evidence of a past infestation.
If your house does not pass the termite inspection, get a list of qualified exterminators from your Realtor®. Find out the treatment options they offer and their charges for the service.
Exterminators are usually quite competitive. If your home was treated for a past infestation, the company which 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 get rid of them, if they are found.
One company that I have used quite frequently with exceptional results is Haskell Termite & Pest Control, Inc. Besides the Tampa Bay area, they also service Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties. As part of a real estate transaction, their inspections typically run about $75. However, if you are not selling your home and would like to have peace of mind, they will come out and provide a FREE inspection.
