The trouble with having a pest company do an inspection for you is that it is 
like asking the barber whether or not he thinks you need a haircut.

Every time I've been privy to where this is going on, the pest company says, 
"We cannot certify you home as guaranteed 100% termite free unless we do our 
full treatment for a mere $1200."  The presence or absence of any actual 
termites is beside the point.
