Oh, good grief, what now?
Soooooooo, since we bought our fabulous new house from a guy who hadn't even lived in it for one year, we decided not to get another pest report, but did go ahead and hire a general inspector. Well, it all turned out nicely. Until last night, when the husband found the termite nest! They were all over a few boards that were lying on the floor of the basement. He hauled 'em out and soaked 'em with raid. Today I called pest control companies and they all wanted to know when we bought the house. "Oh, like 6 weeks ago," I foolishly replied. "Oh. We don't come out unless it's been one year from the close of escrow, sorry." WTF??? I called around some more, but this seemed to be standard practice. One company told me that my pest inspection report is guaranteed for one year, and that they are the people who are responsible for the work. Catch-22. My inspection report is one year past, but I have not owned this house for one year! What could they do if I lied? Invite the termites back?
