No live insects does not erase the evidence
A Georgia inspection finds old-looking shelter tubes, damaged wood, a persistent moisture source and a sealed crawlspace that cannot be examined. No live insects are observed in the accessible areas at the inspection time. A homeowner asks for a guarantee that the entire structure has no concealed infestation or damage, while another person proposes using an inspection form from a different state. The exercise supplies no further access, specimen identification, structural assessment or authority to issue the state report. The inspector must distinguish observations, history and limitations, explain why moisture evidence is relevant and preserve the actual Georgia reporting scope without inventing a broader certification or chemical-treatment plan.
