Pest Inspections for VA Home Loan Applications

About VA Loan Inspections

Acquiring a home is a momentous milestone, and it’s normal to conduct thorough pest inspections before buying one. They are even more critical for individuals who plan to purchase a property using a VA home loan. The Department of Veterans Affairs typically requires a termite inspection before closing the sale to ensure the house is ready for moving in.

It’s more than just a formality; it’s a crucial step to protect your investment. Suppose you bought a new house with this loan, but after moving in, you noticed signs of pests that weren’t obvious before. Pests like rodents, termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying insects can severely damage the property if left untreated. Their presence will not only disrupt your life at home but also ruin your investment.

At Premier Pest Elimination, we have the skills and means to detect even the earliest signs of infestation and treat them right away. Keep in mind, however, that in Wisconsin, the Department of Veterans Affairs only requires performing these inspections in the following counties:

Columbia
Crawford
Dane
Dodge
Grant

Green
Iowa
Jefferson
Kenosha
Lafayette

Milwaukee
Ozaukee
Racine
Richland
Rock

Sauk
Vernon
Walworth
Washington
Waukesha

Please note that a real estate appraiser may still require an inspection even if your county of residence is not listed above.
