A Quick Guide to Oahu Termite Tenting and Homeowner Rights

Termite tenting can eliminate just about any infestation. However, given the invasive nature of tenting as a treatment, you should be aware of what your rights are during the process. Here’s what you need to know:

Homeowner Rights During Oahu Termite Tenting

As a homeowner, your rights regarding Oahu termite tenting are governed by the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions). While these can vary, you can expect that you may need to surrender your keys during the tenting process. The company which you hire for termite tenting should clearly explain the process and what you need to do beforehand.

Termite Inspections for Home Purchases

When buying a home in Hawaii, termite inspections are crucial. The Hawaii Association of Realtors’ standard Purchase Contract requires a termite inspection before closing the sale. As the buyer, you’ll choose the termite inspector, while the seller covers the cost. If tenting is required, the seller usually covers those costs too.

Signs of a Termite Infestation

If you’re worried about an infestation in a home you own or want to buy, you can look for clues that include termite droppings (which usually resemble sand and accumulate near wooden areas) and mud tunnels near the walls and foundations.
