Krivosha, C.J.,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority because of the absence of any evidence in the record that would establish that Usher’s inspection of the premises was negligent or that Usher failed to discover termites which were there at the time of inspection. I do not agree that there was any requirement that the petition allege that Usher’s contract required it to discover the presence of termites or termite damage at its peril. It occurs to me that when one hires a termite inspector, it is implied that a termite inspector will find termites if they are present.
