If they're Positigermites, you're fricked. Sorry, man. From what you've told us, it sounds like that's the case.

the bank mandates a termite inspection before giving you the loan. if you have this inspection and it says that there are no termites, then you exterminating company will have to come back to treat the bugs as long as you are under contract with them.

The company that did the termite inspection is required to treat the house for free if there are active termites. This involves digging a small trench around the slab and treating with liquid pesticide. They will also drill holes in any horizontal concrete that is adjacent to the slab and inject pesticide in the holes. I think it's every four feet.

If the seller didn't have a termite contract then you are screwed as far as repairs go.


This is the way I understand it. Good luck and make sure you always have a termite bond in the future. I know someone who let theirs lapse and wound up paying thousands for repairs.

Your story is the stereotypical termite inspection story. Exterminator company comes out, inspects, and finds no problems. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to see any damage unless you start knocking holes in the wall. You do some digging or happen to knock out a wall during renovations and find the motherload of termites...it sucks.

let them treat. Make sure the termites have no source of water in your house (attic, etc.).

without water they will die. With the treatment around perimeter they cannot go get water from outside the house. If they cannot find water within house (condensate drip, leaking pipe, leaky roof etc.) they will die.

If damage is not extensive, no need to rip open walls.
