Buying a home on slab - termites a concern

[MarkBK]

Do many home buyers have a pest inspection when buying a home on a slab?
I'm in the process of buying a home and want to know if it's really needed.

A pest inspection is always recommended before buying a home regardless of a slab or raised foundation.
I've seen cracks in the concrete walks leading to the slab foundation wall allowing entry for termites.
Most home buyers get a pest and home inspection before buying.

I agree and good decision

Make sure this is part of your home inspection! This should be done at the sellers expense if possible!
