KEY Termite and Pest Control is the industry leader on the Central Coast. Founded in 1945 by Valton "Val" Key, the company has become known for honesty and integrity. Through the years and through several individual ownerships, the name KEY has remained the symbol of the original vision, "People before Profits."
Many pest control companies were founded with such principles, only to put money ahead of the customer and eventually ahead of even their own employees. This improper business view leads to many poor choices. Choices such as a promise of premium service then only to provide hurried service with poor quality materials.

General Termite Advice
Report
After the recent housing market crash and flood of foreclosed properties, it soon became apparent that the long standing practice of including the terms of termite inspection into the Purchase Agreement was creating problems for Buyers. These foreclosed properties were being sold at deep discounts, but sold "As-Is" by the Banks.
Inspecting Single Family Res
Report
For those who prefer including the Termite Report in the escrow process, you must check the box in paragraph 7. A.(2) or 7. A.(3) of the Purchase Agreement and specify a Termite Report. Paragraph 7 clearly specifies that "it does not determine who is to pay for any work recommended or identified in the Report, " only who is paying for the Report.
Condo/Townhome
Report
A Termite Report on a Condominium or other common interest subdivision does have some challenges. There is a conflict between the Structural Pest Control Act and the Residential Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement specifies that the Inspection be limited to the "separate interest and exclusive-use areas being transferred, and shall NOT include common areas."
PUD/Twin-Home
Report
A Termite Report on a PUD (most Twin-Homes are a PUD) is exactly the same as a single family residence if it is free standing, meaning there are no common walls or attachments to adjacent properties. One difficulty may be that one or more of the structure walls may be built directly on the property line.
