Realtors and Builders need to have the homes inspected before the sale, to protect themselves from any legal actions should they sell a home infested with termites. We provide this service in Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida.

Builder Pre-Treatments
Pre-treatments are required by most mortgage companies to help reduce the possibility of termite infestation. These pre-construction treatments should give the new home or business owner at least five years of termite protection before further treatment is required. Here are three types of Pre-contruction termite treatments available at Knox Pest Control.
  Soil Treatment:
Treating the soil in and and around all of the footings of the structure being built with an approved termiticide just prior to pouring the cement into the footers is the most popular pre-treatment.
  Termite Bait System:
Installing a termite bait system such as Exterra is an alternative pre-treatment.
  Borate Treatment:
Treating all of the exposed wood with Bora-Care after the building is framed up is also an effective pre-treatment.
   

Real estate Letters for Closings
When you buy or sell a home insist on a Official Wood Infestation Report (commonly referred to as a Termite Letter, Real Estate Report or Clearance Letter) This report helps protect you from any legal actions brought buy the purchaser should you sell a home infested with termites and has termite damage.

If you are the purchaser let your voice be heard !  Inform your realtor if you have a Knox Termite Guarantee on your home. Then make sure Knox Pest Control does the Termite Letter inspection and report so your present Termite Contract can be assumed by the purchaser. Making the inspection and handling the report allows Knox to transfer the guarantee into the new homeowners name and to continue to serve this new customer. Knox Pest Control would be glad to provide the property treatment history and copies of current contracts and work orders to the new owner upon request.
