Termites to buy or not to buy

I found a little place (built 1927) a little under market value. It has had some rehab (mainly cosmetic). I notice it has been for sale since 2018 (red flag). I contacted realtor and asked some questions about structure damage weaknesses, plumbing, electrical and termites. He said there was termite damage but he doesn’t know the extent of it. I have not gone to look at the house yet.

Can you get rid of termites?

If you treat regularly will that control them?

And how much damage is to much to not purchase? Or don’t purchase period because it will be a forever nightmare

Thank you everyone
