Please excuse any errors or misspellings as I’m using speech to text. Our inspection report showed that there was any evidence of pests. We still decided to close but a couple days later we found a lot of termite looking bugs in window sills that previously had water damage. We freaked out called a termite expert pay the inspection fee and with good news said there’s no evidence of active termites in our house. He did mention because it was a older house they did at one point have termites but they resolved the issue and there is no issue with the house structure.
The termite inspector did offer to provide some preventative maintenance on the house and also cleaning up and sealing some of the previous non-active termite damage. The price for the full termite repellent for the house was about $1200 and it last for a year and the cost for just fixing or covering up old non-active damage was about $240. Has anybody ever done anything like this? If we don’t have active termites and everything from the professional says actually looks good do we need to worry about it anymore and just be on the lookout. Thanks for your input sorry if that was hard to read
