Perfect, so you would rather have a house, that is half eaten by termites. Termites can actually go undetected in a house for 5 to ten years, and reek a ton of damage before they start discarding pellets in a place that is detectable or swarm.
Some people tent just to be on the safe side before they move in.
An older house that has never been tented would be more suspicious to me than one that has.

If they are tenting houses in your neighborhood, you should expect the termites to find you as well.
Good luck

I wonder if there is a database to show which houses have been treated for termites. They are tenting a few houses in my neighborhood. Is there any way to keep track of these? "Google earth termite"? Some buyers want to avoid a house that has been damaged by termites because we may never know the extent of the damage.
