When it comes to buying a home, there are obviously many factors to consider. One of the most over-looked is pest control and a termite inspection report or CL-100 report. Sometimes, you can be absolutely sure there is going to be nothing wrong with your new home. Being sure isn’t enough. There are many insects with living habits that are hard to see in your home. One of these well-known pests is termites. Termites actually live in the dirt below the houses. They don’t reside in the walls or anything.
