2 termite inspectors claim opposite results
The short version:
Company A: claims dry-wood-termites; suggests tent-fumigation; sees no subterranean-termite damage;
Company B: claims subterranean-termites; sees no dry-wood termite damage; suggests annual control and monitoring
I had one of my properties inspected for termites and the company came back saying that there are dry-wood-termites showing and their recommendation is to do tent-fumigation.
Since they didn't have an opening for tent-fumigation in a time-frame that works for me, I reached out to second company to do an inspection (confirmed availability in advance) and they claim that according to their inspection there are NO dry-wood-termites HOWEVER they see some heavy subterranean-termite activity surrounding the house and accordingly he suggest that I sign up for a annual monitoring and control payment plan (but he says no tent-fumigation is necessary)...
I guess I should get a 3rd inspection...?!
Any of you had such an experience?
