Termite Trouble
Another home made unlivable by tiny terrors is this termite-infested property. The new owners discovered the problem when they began renovations. Their insurance company deemed the home unlivable because the termites had eaten so much of the house. The structural integrity was compromised and 75% of the home was affected. Termites live in the walls and eat wood, borrowing holes through the house frame and decaying the wood at alarming rates. Older colonies of termites can have 2 million insects crawling through the walls at any given time. These fiends can completely destroy a home in a year or two. Remember folks, always get a thorough home inspection before purchasing.
