Termite spotted during inspection
Hi, I am buying a house in West Palm Beach
My general inspection found some dead termites and a small whole in the house I am buying. He and my realtor said it does not look like they did too much damage and suggested I get $2k to tent the place which I did. But after a week I am still concerned about the termite damage. I've heard that the damage they can do can be hidden and come up months/years later and be a big costs. Should I get a termite specific inspection? Will a termite treatment once be enough or is this something I will have to do every few years or so?
Thanks!
