Why is pest control important in real estate?
When you are purchasing a home or building, most lending
institutions require a recent wood destroying infestation report (WDI) to
determine if there is infestation or damage by termites or other wood destroying
insects. If there is evidence of wood destroying insects or damage, the lending
institution typically requires the property to be treated by a licensed termite
control company .
Affordable Pest Control Service is one of the leading providers of WDI Reports
or "Termite Certificates" for real estate transactions in Delaware and the
surrounding areas of Maryland and Pennsylvania. A thorough visual inspection is
performed to the inside and outside of the house or structure, to include the
garage or other out buildings on the property if requested.
The importance of having an experienced and knowledgeable inspector is vital in
the home buying process. Termites cause damage in hidden areas, behind walls, in
crawl spaces and basements. You don't want to find out later that the home you
bought had hidden structural defects caused by wood destroying insects.
