Hello,
My fiance and I are in the process of buying a house, we have proceeded as far as the termite and moisture inspection and have since decided to hold off on any further decisions as we take in this matter. Neither, my fiance or I were present during this inspection to see the damage first hand. The inspector would not give us the clearance letter we need to proceed, becuase he said he saw powder post beetles; in the crawl space as well as in the attic. I have searched online about the ppb's and from what I understand is they start in a moist area, such as the crawl space; and work their way up. Our realtor is fairly new to the scene only been in the business a couple months, and she siays there is no way to tell if the beetles have infested the walls/whole house (the house has hardwood floors). I also read that the infestiation could be inactive. Is their any way to tell if the beetles have infested in the walls and or the floor and if so, are there any treatments you would recomend.
