Check infestation evidence, treatment history, monitoring points, timber damage, warranties and safe follow-up before buying.
A clean viewing does not prove a pest-free structure
Inspect skirtings, cabinets, roof timber, door frames, service penetrations, damp zones and garden contact for tubes, frass, hollow timber or repairs. Map bait or monitoring stations and ask for treatment chemicals, dates, contractor reports, warranties and follow-up visits. Confirm whether the estate or owner treats soil, common landscaping and private buildings.
Use a qualified inspector to distinguish active infestation, historic damage and unrelated moisture. Price opening-up, structural repair and ongoing monitoring before reservation, and check safe chemical use around children, pets, water and rental guests. Pair this with the tropical inspection guide, villa operating budget and buyer service.
