Many financial institutions require that both the inspection and the repair work be completed prior to the closing of escrow. If it is not required, the buyer should be aware of work that has been done and work not completed before purchasing the home. Pest control companies are required to complete a Notice of Work Completed and Not Completed when any work is done on a structure. Swarming winged termites are often mistaken for flying ants.
Termites appear to have TWO body segments and straight antennae.
There are many types of Termites. Drywood termites build nests in wood and stay there. Subterranean termites some- times build mud tubes or tunnels from soil to wood and move through them in back and forth travels. The tubes can be an inch in diameter or as small as the lead in a pencil. Tubes generally are found on foundation walls, and are one of the several clues to a possible infection.
