Joe Mazza, a home inspector and HGTV host, emphasizes that perspective is key when addressing pest concerns for new homeowners. He suggests that understanding the type and severity of pests one might encounter, based on climate and home conditions, is crucial. Common pests like termites and mice can cause significant damage, and preventive measures should be taken before purchasing a home and at the initial signs of infestation. Finding an inspector trained in pest control can provide additional insights into potential issues, especially in areas where certain pests are prevalent, like termites in most states except Alaska.
For many first-time homeowners, the variety, severity and tenacity of household pests is an unwelcome surprise. Climate, home age, type and state of repair can all affect which pests are likely to do the most damage.
It helps to know which types of vermin to look out for. Termites have been found in every state except Alaska, so it's always a good idea to specifically check for termite damage.
