If there are living termites in that pin, I doubt you wouldn't notice it. As someone who has dealt with a termite infestation, no way would I bring that pin anywhere near my house. Fixing a termite infestation cost a hell of a lot more than $375. I don't think you can get it properly fumigated for less than $100.

Push against the areas near where you see holes. You will probably find some soft spots and termites if still active.

It is just not worth the risk to bring it in the house. If you don't see anything, it probably isn't actively infested. I let my termite coverage lapse 1 year and this was a full brick home, but wood frame. My daughter noticed them when she removed a poster from her wall. They were eating through the caulk at the baseboard and about 6 feet up. We had people look at it and say yeah just patch it up, they didn't do any structural damage. Ha! I had the drywall removed. They ate everything. About 3 feet wide and up to about 6 feet the wood was just nuked by the termites. My current home is block with steel frame (still wood frame roof though). I've owned it for ~15 years. I never had termite coverage before. I sure as hell have it now.

Quoted from mrgone:

It's big money and an easy sale for me.

When I had my infestation I got multiple quotes for treatment and the variation in price was pretty amazing. In Florida, Florida Pest Control was by far the best price.

He's located out of Stuart, Florida.

Maybe checkout the Village. Probably somebody there who knows who he is.

And what? Have them beat him up for me?

Maybe more info than an ebay username would be helpful. I think I've heard of a couple unscrupulous sellers down that way.

Good luck!
