I assumed the foundation was probably infested with termites so I didn't make any further attempts to inspecting the house.This morning my home inspector who also has rental houses called me up about a great deal he saw on Craigslist.

Their are companies that will clean what they can and replace what they can't and give you some sort of certification this particular infestation has been eliminated.  

Firstly there was a bed bug infestation (I didn't have any guests stay).

She ended up staying with me as she couldn't move in with the roach infestation.

There are some gorgeous old homes on Patterson, but they have become so run down and infested with vermin of all sorts, we stay as far away from there as possible.

I did a walk through and she actually left the house in decent condition except it has become infested with Roaches.

The home inspection revealed severe insect infestation, broken windows, and damaged masonry, plus there is a makeshift set of stairs leading to a loft.

and all kinds of kitchen waste crap was spilling into the common wall.Several times the toilet won't flush, and it's in the main drain, I went to investigate and have it snaked from the common roof stack to clear the blockage.Roach infestation issues (most likely caused by the broken DW drain hose spilling food waste into the wall) happened along that common wall, I went over and did pest control.I can go on and on and on.Whenever there is an issue, it's always up to me to handle, because he would ignore the issue, or simply tell his tenant he is "out of town at the moment." 

You don’t want an infestation.

So we are looking at purchasing a 650 SF (one level) home built in 1924 that has a powderpost beetle infestation on the structural joists under the house.
