Termite Prevention Treatment - is it necessary?

[Rob Bianco]

I'm under contract on a 4plex property in Texas (Houston Area) and just had the inspections completed. The termite inspector's report read that there were signs of a previous termite infestation but it looks like the property was treated and there were no current signs of termites. With that said, I'm not sure how to feel about it or how to proceed...

Would it be better to hire someone to do termite prevention measures or maybe hire a termite inspector annually to keep an eye on things?

I'm also wary since people have horror stories of inspectors claiming termites are gone but then suddenly homeowners find them everywhere in the walls where inspectors can't see and I'm wondering if I ought to just walk away from this property so I don't regret it.

Advice appreciated.
