Luckily you found it before you purchased the home. That could have been a pricey issue. Yikes, that sounds awful. Luckily you found it before you purchased the home.

(Not sure if pest inspections are legally binding bids in WA the way they are in CA, but if so...) Then they can sell you the house after the work's done :D $30-$50K for all that structural work sounds like a bargain; I think they should take your inspector’s bid and run with it.

Now I'm freaked out about my house, which is an older house. It was inspected, of course. If the inspector made recommendations about little details, I suppose he would have found any bugs. (I hope, I hope.) Anyway, you will surely find something else that you love. Those poor, poor people who wanted to sell. OMG! Now I’m freaked out about my house, which is an older house.

I am a huge believer in home inspectors, even though our inspector missed a fledgling infestation of carpenter ants in our old porch. Fortunately, we found them before they had moved beyond the deck, and we got to build ourselves a better deck. Good luck with the hunt! Ouch, so sorry to hear that news.

Glad you found the little buggers. I would be having nightmares if I'd moved in and found them later (about the creepy-crawlies AND the money!). You'll find the right one at the right time, bug-free!
