There's a termite inspector in my area I run across once in a while during my inspections. By the time he gets done "probing" some termite-damaged ceiling joists in the basement, it looks like somebody set an M-80 off inside the joist. I don't own the home and I'm not crazy about seeing that, regardless of the fact that the wood was damaged by termites to begin with. This guy is so aggressive, his probing of sound joists makes them look like they need repairs when he gets done with things.
