Have my home for sale, and this couple have looked at it 3 times; my realtor called and says they have commented there are termites in a stump in the yard, which is about 10 ft. from house. We are not living in house, so haven't been by to look yet.

O.k., so if there are, will this stump need to be treated FIRST before it can be removed, so the termites won't start running for my house to chew on it as it is taken out? It does NOT have any at the moment, it was checked 2 months ago, and was given a clean bill of health.

If it DOES need treated first, any idea how this is done?

I'll also see what our REA says next week. If these people are serious and want to make an offer that we accept, contingent on their home inspection, I imagine all that would be hashed out then. But I'll bet they want that stump GONE.
