As home buyers, we have engaged Accurate Inspections, Inc. to inspect two homes for us (I have reviewed their work separately), and in both cases, they have arranged for E & G Exterminators Inc to conduct wood-destroying insect inspections at the same time (we have paid E & G separately, and it is our understanding that there is no relationship between the companies). While the first exterminator was professional and thorough, the second was neither. Well into our second home inspection, our home inspector called E & G to confirm that the exterminator was coming. He arrived shortly thereafter, complaining about the number of jobs he had that day and the distance between them. While it was Memorial Day, and we appreciated him being there at all, that does not justify his lack of professionalism (as he pointed out, he was being paid overtime). The exterminator then conducted his inspection but failed to notice some of the evidence of wood-destroying insects that our home inspector had already flagged for us. Fortunately, our home inspector was there to share the additional evidence with the exterminator. Ultimately, the exterminator quoted us over $1,000 for treatment ("a deal"), but he said that before proceeding, the sellers would need to clear their garage so that the exterminator could conduct a more thorough inspection. We engaged a second exterminator to conduct a follow-up inspection, and he (a) did not charge us for the inspection, (b) completed it without requiring that the sellers clear their garage, (c) quoted us less than $1,000 for treatment, and (d) generally inspired more confidence.
