I put a deposit down on a home the other day, but active termites
have been found under the back porch on a piece of wood and shovel .
Home is vacant. No termites were found inside the home. Im having a
second Pest Inspector look thruout the home. The home is in Florida
which is common for termites. At what point would you pass on a home
with them ? Thanks.

Get estimates (at least two, three is better) as to what it would cost
to treat the infestation and correct the damage. Then see if the
seller will reduce the sales price for the amounts. It's open to
negotiation.
