PestOps

For those folks who migrate from the North to the South bear in mind Termites are a potential universal problem requiring an Inspection from one of the many organizations in the greater Knoxville area. Pest Ops performed our Inspection prior to a Home Purchase. We were given a clean bill of health and while there were some problems with the place it was our intent to remodel, upgrade, etc so we purchased. A few weeks later we brought in a local contractor, House Doctor LLC, great team to work with, the owner shows us the window sill where there is termite poop and tunnels plainly visible. He advises we need to remove wall board and look where it came to pass that the termite colony now dead but that is another story had infested three walls in the den to include hard wood flooring, significant amount of damage. We proceed to demolish all inside walls, call Realty Agent who sends her Bug Person who just happens to be the Owner and same individual who did who did initial inspection. Owner admits to a room full of people he missed it but then proceeds to sell/peddle his products and services to the tune of $1500+/-. The moral of the story here is ensure you speak closely with your Inspector, inquire as to the Inspection procedures, ensure they are exploratory and probing not simply a walk thru or cursory. Another factor in the presence of termites was the molding on the ceiling had been pushed away buy the termite activity leaving black marks along the ceiling line. Termites are problem here in the South you can control them yourself by a number of products at Lowes and Home Depot to include on-line. Do you own research as to what termites need to get into your home, drainage, water source, etc, educate yourself prior to engaging a Pest Company but more importantly be present, go with them, ask questions, especially if you are from a state that does not have these critters. As for Pest Ops, spent $100.00 to inspection, made a home purchase decision on the report, report was flawed, incomplete, cost we several thousand on the backside. Pest Ops has gone silent, Seller's Agent silent, our own Agent silent, and lastly for those of you who are asking about the Seller, Yes he did in fact falsify the disclosures, 12 x12 taped glass tiles on one of walls baseboard were taped together, there was wall board repairs, likely 6 mos to 1 year old, hence the termites were treated, the colony killed, and yes the Seller is hiding. Avoid Pest Ops, website looks great, they do not deliver a quality inspection you can rely on for a major decision!
