Termite Season . . . check your vacant listings

By
Real Estate Agent with Crye-Leike

Just a reminder that in the mid-south it is termite season.  One of my renters has already contacted me about a "swarming" issues in one of my rentals.  The termite company I use indicated that they are covered up with calls from homeowners. 

So, if you represent an out of town seller of a vacant home . . . it would probably be a good thing for you to check on the house just to make sure there isn't a swarm.  (Obviously I am not suggesting that you "inspect" the home, just that you make a cursory look around for obvious swarms or issues).

Just a thought.

Tracy also mention don't leave any lights on outside or in the windows unless you have to for a good reason.

Excellent reminder-here in Florida I think termite season is almost year round.  It still pays to check on it, thanks.

Denise & John - thanks for the comments.  I was just hoping to keep other folks from what I am dealing with right now.  :-)
