My neighbor is attempting to sell his home which is not under a termite contract

Why couldn't he? A termite contract is not required by the bank.

I imagine the purchaser's lender is going to require proof of contract.

they will just require a termite inspection, not contract

Here in Ark. I think you just have to have proof that your house is termite free at the time of sale.

No termite contract is required. They will require a certificate from a termite company. If no termites are found, all is good. If termites are found, treatment will be required.

You worry about too much that doesn't affect you.

But it's how they apply it that makes it work.

Because we're talking about thousands of dollars of potential damage

Does the nouse have termites?

On a side note, why the frick do you care? Get a life.

Even though what you can buy at Home Depot and what a licensed pest control company can buy are two different things, people would be sick if they knew how cheap the chemicals used for a $2000 termite treatment actually cost. Maybe like $400 or so with traps and it's not like it's super labor intensive to put some traps in the ground and spray around the house.
