Hi folks,

My wife and I just put an offer in our first home (which was built in the
40's) and the offer was accepted.

During the home inspection it was revealed that there was a full termite
treatment done in the past (many holes drilled in foundation wall in
basement that were sealed). The treatment must have been done sometime
after 1993 because there was treatment in the addition which was built in
1993.

The scarier part was that there was one mud tunnel found as well.

So...should we run away screaming? Should we pay for $150-$200 for a pest
inspector and get his opinion? If we took the home are we running a decent
chance of have a lot of trouble in the future?

This is in Massachusetts where termites aren't as common as they are in the
south or west. But, we absolutely love the home and are depressed at the
thought of losing it. We also don't want to take any stupid risks.

What should we do? Should we walk away?

Thanks a lot for the advice!
