No Pesky Pests in your Home, Maui! Who are all those relatives roaming around your home? Here in Hawaii, we do have lots of cousins. However, Kimberly is not referring to your family or friends but to termites. Although there are quarterly spraying at the condominium complexes, there can be issues with pests in Residential Homes.
Purchase Contract: Major Contingency
According to our Hawaii Purchase Agreement, L-1 page 9 of 14, the Seller has to provide notification to the Purchaser of any previous or pending termite issues. Moving ahead, L-2 page 9, the Buyer has an opportunity to perform a Professional Inspection with the Seller or the Purchaser paying for the expense.
Next question, who are reputable contacts in the area? Because there are a handful of companies to choose from, Harris Hawaii Realty Group always provides a list to their clients.

Treatment
What can be done? Depending on the evaluation, the skilled and efficient company will provide several options. These options include: tenting, spot treatment, or removal.
Because many residences are second homes or rental properties, often times, the owner may not be residing at their home. They may not have knowledge of their property. When purchasing, it is always best to hire a professional of your choice.
