Buying Or Selling A Home? Have A Termite Inspection First!
10/14/13
When either purchasing or selling a Kentucky home, there are many steps that need to take place before the process can be completed; one of these steps should be a home inspection for termite activity. Termites are a very difficult species to identify in a home and a difficult species to eliminate from a home. Having a home inspection completed by a specially trained expert who can identify the signs of termites will give you the peace of mind that your home is termite free and if not that treatment can begin immediately from a trusted Elizabethtown or Louisville pest control company.
Termites are social insects that live in very large colonies. They feed on the cellulose of dead plant materials such as soil, leaves, fallen tree limbs and tree stumps. While termites are generally found outdoors, they will make their way into homes through cracks and crevices usually along the foundation. Once inside, termites will begin to tunnel through and feed on the home's’ structural wood. Because termites travel in underground tunnels and are found inside of structural wood, behind walls, and under floors, it sometimes takes months or even years before they and their damages are noticed. Having a termite inspection done before selling or buying will end up saving you a lot of time and money in the future.
